different world views and philosophies in defining development problems and their solutions derive currently from different disciplines. they refer in many respects to the principle of cause-effect as a fundamental relationship between phenomena. the history of differing values and attitudes presented in management and design indicates the importance of this relationship. this sort of knowledge...

background: this study addresses the null hypothesis that there is no expansion of heterotopic ossification (ho) in the elbow beyond what can be seen early on.   methods: the area of ho was measured on lateral radiographs of 38 consecutive patients that had operative treatment of ho between 2000 and 2013. measurements from radiographs obtained between 3 to 7 weeks were compared to measurements ...

objective: the environmental exposure to magnetic fields (mfs) may interact with biological systems. mfs are generated from various sources such as power lines, electric appliances at homes and offices, electrified transportation systems including urban railway systems and diagnostic devices such as magnetic resonance imaging (mri). there are some scientific evidences that imply the exposure to...

background:  this study tested the null hypothesis that nonoperatively treated patients would not show disease progression of carpal tunnel syndrome (cts) over time according to median nerve distal motor latency (dml) on two electrodiagnostic tests.   methods:  this retrospective study analyzed sixty-two adult nonoperatively treated patients who were diagnosed with cts confirmed by a minimum of...

exosomes, as a mediator of cell-to-cell transfer of genetic information, act an important role in intercommunication between tumor cells and their niche including fibroblasts, endothelial cells, adipocytes and monocytes. several studies have shown that tumor cells can influence their neighboring cells by releasing exosomes. these exosomes provide signaling cues for stimulation, activation, prol...

there is considerable agreement among linguists that thematic analysis offers writers insights into manuscripts that may be rejected by international journals due to thematic organization problems. whereas many comparative studies have provided valuable information about thematic progression (tp), the role of peripheral themes (pts) has almost been neglected. using the revised model of the tp p...

Objective(s): Arachidonic Acid/5-lipoxygenase (AA/5-LOX) pathway connects lipid metabolism and proinflammatory cytokine, which are both related to the development and progression of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Therefore, the present study was designed to investigate the role of AA/5-LOX pathway in progression of NAFLD, and the effect of zileuton, an inhibitor of 5-LOX, in this mod...
