Noise pollution is one of the prominent environmental problems affecting human health especially in developing countries. The impacts of noise on health should not be underestimated. Exposure to acoustical stimuli impairs not only the function of auditory system but also that of many other systems of human body. Previous investigations revealed that noise exposure could result in sleep disturba...

background: acoustic noise is one of the universal pollutants of modern society. although the high level of noise adverse effects on human hearing has been known for many years, non-auditory effects of noise such as effects on cognition, learning, memory and reading, especially on children, have been less considered. factors which have negative impact on these features can also have a negative ...

background: noise as a most common harmful physical agent in workplaces has some effects on the exposed persons such as hearing threshold reduction, increasing blood pressure, and interference with the speech. the adverse side-effect of noise is one of the scientific areas that have seldom been considered by researchers. the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of occupational noise...

conclusions the best balance between detection rate of prostate cancer and infectious complications of biopsies achieved in twelve-core biopsy protocol. twelve-core biopsy enhances the rate of prostate cancer detection with minimum adverse effects. patients and materials transrectal ultrasonography (trus) guided biopsy was performed in 180 patients suspicious for prostate cancer due to either a...

long-term intravenous immunoglobulin (ivig) infusion is an effective treatment for children with humoral immunodeficiencies, already be complicated by systemic ad¬verse effects. in order to determine the adverse effects of intravenous immunoglobulin inpatients with antibody deficiency, 45 immunodeficientpatients receiving intravenous immunoglobulin were studied during a 36-month period at child...

case presentation we present a case of a grade iii coronary perforation in which the double guiding catheter technique helped us to deliver the graft stent. conclusions the double-guiding technique is useful in emergency situations to increase the safety and efficacy of sealing a coronary perforation. introduction coronary vessel perforation is one of the most feared complications of coronary a...

cardiovascular adverse effects are interesting aspects of occupational noise exposure. one possible mechanism of these effects is an alternation in hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. our aim was to measure salivary cortisol response to relatively high-intensity noise exposure in a controlled randomized trial study. we exposed 50 male volunteers to 90 dba noise for 20 minutes and compared thei...
