the original biophysical profile is time consuming and costly. this study was performed to compare diagnostic value of the original fetal biophysical profile to the modified biophysical profile. patients were selected from high risk pregnancies referred for fetal assessment and were randomly assigned to two groups. the measures of outcomes were perinatal mortality, cesarean section for abnormal...

expert discovery is a quest in search of finding an answer to a question: “who is the best expert of a specific subject in a particular domain within peculiar array of parameters?” expert with domain knowledge in any field is crucial for consulting in industry, academia and scientific community. aim of this study is to address the issues for expert-finding task in real-world community. collabor...

abstract       background and objective: high-intensity interval training (hiit) is a recently proposed exercise protocol, which is time-effective. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of hiit for 8 weeks on the lipid profile, c-reactive protein (crp), fasting blood sugar (fbs) and anthropometric parameters of young women who do not exercise.      methods: in this study, 20 young ph...

objective: dietary changes playmajor risk roles in oxidative stress andcardiovascular disease and modulate normal metabolic function. the present study was designed to investigate the ameliorative potential of different extracts of hemidesmus indicus to experimental high-fat diet in wistar rats, and their possible mechanism of action.  materials and methods: male wistar rats were divided into 6...

Measurement-based admission control (MBAC) is an important technique for providing statistical service guarantees and many MBAC algorithms have been proposed in the literature. It has also been investigated in a previous work that these algorithms achieve nearly the same utilization for a given packet loss rate or in short the same loss-load curve. Based on this investigation, it has been argue...

Introduction: High-risk pregnancies can result in many complications for the fetus. In these pregnancies, different tests such as non-stress test (NST), biophysical profile (BPP), oxytocin contraction stress test (OCT), and Doppler sonography can be used to evaluate fetal health. As standard BBP requires more time and expertise, in this study, we evaluated the relationship between standard BPP,...
