Background: Type of delivery has impact on women postpartum quality of life) QL(. No study has investigated QL of after cesarean section (CS), natural vaginal delivery (NVD) and NVD with water birth as a novel method. Objectives: The aim of the study was to compare women postpartum QL after three delivery modes in Shiraz hospitals. Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted on the women a...

Software vulnerabilities represent a major cause of cybersecurity problems. The National Vulnerability Database (NVD) is a public data source that maintains standardized information about reported software vulnerabilities. Since its inception in 1997, NVD has published information about more than 43,000 software vulnerabilities affecting more than 17,000 software applications. This information ...

BACKGROUND Assessment of quality of life (QOL) is of paramount importance for improving postpartum QOL which will in turn enhance QOL of mothers, children, individuals, and the community. The present study aimed to evaluate and compare postpartum QOL after Cesarean Section (CS), Normal Vaginal Delivery (NVD), and water birth delivery. METHODS This descriptive analytical, cross-sectional study...

Neovascularization at the disc (NVD) is the most serious complication in diabetic retinopathy, and leads to vitreous hemorrhage and tractional retinal detachment. We report two cases of spontaneous regression of NVD in proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Two men (31 and 46 years old) with diabetes had NVD in both eyes. They were treated with panretinal photocoagulation on the left eye first, bu...

Ventilation airflow in buildings is paramount important for creating comfortable environment with acceptable indoor air quality by regulating indoor air parameters, such as air temperature, relative humidity, air speed, and concentrations of chemical species in the air. Airflow inside naturally ventilated dairy (NVD) building is highly variable because of the direct effect of outside weather an...

Nidus Vespae has been used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) to treat various cancers, but the underlying mechanisms were not yet clarified. This study was to investigate the effect of Nidus Vespae decoction (NVD) on tumor cell viability and immunoregulating functions of human peripheral blood immune cells. The effects on tumor cell viability, peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) prolif...

The problem of technical devices evaluation and choosing is not easy decision making process. The technological development and the availability of many different technical solutions with different performance parameters specify complex combinatorial choice problems. The night vision devices (NVD) have become quite popular recently and are an example of complex technical choice with conflicting...

In the recent landmark paper of Zheng and Tse it is shown that there exists a fundamental tradeoff between diversity gain and multiplexing gain, referred to as the Diversity-Multiplexing gain(D-MG) tradeoff. It is shown in [5] that ST codes with non-vanishing determinant (NVD) constructed from cyclic-divisionalgebras (CDA), are optimal under the D-MG tradeoff for any number nt, nr of transmit a...
