Artificial insemination and in vitro embryo production are powerful tools for disseminating superior genetic qualities and improving the reproductive performance of dairy and beef cattle. In conjuncti…
BACKGROUND: Choice of appropriate MR pulse sequence is important for any research studies using imaging-derived data. The aim of this study was to compare semiquantitative assessment of subchondral bo…
Errors in measurement of sagittal lumbar and hip angles due to skin movement on the pelvis and/or lateral thigh were measured in young (n = 21, age = 18.6 +/- 2.1 years) and older (n = 23, age = 70.9 …
The neurocranium of the toadfish (Opsanus tau) exhibits a distinct translucent region in the otic capsule (OC) that may have functional significance for the auditory pathway. This study used ultrahigh…
The impact of basic military training (BMT) on recruit physical performance is well described. However, initial employment training (IET), the period immediately after BMT, is the final preparatory st…
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to compare the effects of progressive reducing assistance force versus full assistance force controlled robot-assisted gait training combined with conventional phys…
Through a search, we identified five models of India's HIV epidemic, all of which articulate the hypothesis that heterosexual commercial sex drives India's HIV epidemic. All five models assume more fe…
INTRODUCTION: We have previously investigated effects of moderate maternal zinc (Zn) restriction on growth and glucose homeostasis in offspring, but interaction between maternal Zn restriction and pos…
A series of new fluorescent calix[4]arenes (2-7; 5 has been isolated as two not yet described conformational isomers) featuring two directly lower rim attached dansyl moieties besides other lower or u…
INTRODUCTION: There is little evidence supporting the use of cone-beam computed tomographic (CBCT) scanning in root canal anatomy investigation. This study aimed to investigate the presence of second …
BACKGROUND: Insulin resistance (IR) is not limited to obese individuals. Normal weight individuals may also be insulin resistant. The aim of this study was to determine the association of lifestyle an…
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to assess a radiographic method for spinal curvature evaluation in children, based on spinous processes, and identify its normality limits.METHODS: The sample …
Roux-en-Y gastrectomy is associated with a high incidence of symptoms of gastric stasis. Retrograde propagation of jejunal electrical slow waves and spike bursts has been implicated in the Roux Y stas…
BACKGROUND: Percutaneous nerve stimulation (PNS) is a non-invasive technique to localize superficial nerves before performing peripheral nerve blocks, but its precision has never been evaluated by hig…
We compare the spectral indices of photoplethysmogram variability (PPGV) estimated using photoplethysmograms recorded from the earlobe and the middle fingers of the right and left hand and analyze the…
An electronic portal imaging device has been designed and constructed. It consists of an array of 128 CsI scintillation crystals coupled to photodiodes which is scanned across the field in 4 seconds. …
The body surface distribution of the cardiac electric field is best represented as reliefs of positive and negative potentials, or their time integrals. The objective of this study was to design a met…
OBJECTIVE: Although all newborns in Iran have been vaccinated against hepatitis B since March 1993, routine screening of pregnant women has not been conducted in prenatal care programs, yet transmissi…
To understand the evolution of sexually dimorphic communication signals, we must quantify their costs, including their energetic costs, the regulation of these costs, and the difference between the co…
The simultaneous effects of several variables on the secondary sex ratio have been examined using data from over 3.7 million births which occurred in Japan during 1975--6. A weak and negative associat…
