It was also found that active women with cesarean section had better condition than inactive women with cesarean section. There was a significant difference between the two groups in the variables of sleep disorders (p = 0.005) and total sleep quality score (p = 0.001).

Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of modified clinoptilolite in the removal of copper and zinc ions from landfill leachate and modeling of adsorption isotherms and reactions. Methods: This cross-sectional in vitro study was conducted to test waste landfill leachate as a true sample for four seasons in 2014 in Bam, Iran. Natural zeolite (clinoptilolite), modified with 2 M HNO 3 solution, was used to remove copper and zinc. Experiments were conducted as batch systems, in which the effects of pH, adsorbent dosage, and contact time on the adsorption of heavy metals in municipal waste landfill leachate by clinoptilolite (as soil amendment) were investigated. Afterwards, the adsorption isotherms of each adsorbent were demonstrated. Results: In total, the removal eff...

Nowadays habitat condition effects on this subspecies during life stages, artificial breeding and incubation period noticed by research and execution sessions of fisheries in Iran. Incubation duration of Caspian trout from artificial fertilization followed by green egg and eyed egg, hatching and yolk sac absorption identified as most sensitive stages for fish and any pollution, stress and deviation by natural life conditions of embryo up to larvae could provide possible mortalities and observable or hidden alterations. Among all vital factors for Caspian trout welfare even in conservation plans and stocks rehabilitation programs or recent attempts for domestication of this fish for introduction to cold water aquaculture industry, water temperature as the most important physical factor...

As molecular genetic testing is predominantly restricted to these families, gene carriers not meeting the clinical criteria may be missed.AIMSTo examine the value of microsatellite instability (MSI) as a tool to increase the likelihood for uncovering a mismatch repair germline mutation in patients with colorectal cancer and to identify a genotype-phenotype relation in families with verified mutations.METHODSSystematic search for germline mutations (hMSH2 and hMLH1 genes) was performed in 96 patients: 57 fulfilled the Amsterdam criteria (group 1) and 12 the looser HNPCC criteria (group 2). Seventeen patients showed familial clustering of cancers (group 3) and 10 patients under 50 years had sporadic cancer (group 4), the latter of whom all exhibited MSI+ tumours.RESULTSA similar proportion of germline mutations was found in patients who fulfilled the clinical criter...

For small to medium size defects, local flaps are often an easier alternative than free flap. In lower limb surgery, the sural flap is based on this principle and this flap is becoming increasingly popular. The distally based superficial sural artery flap, first described as a distally based neuro skin flap by masquelet et al., is a skin island flap supplied by the vascular axis of the sural nerve. The main disadvantage of distally based sural artery flap is sacrifice of the sural nerve because it is described the concept of neurocutaneus island flap. We describe one case of reverse sural flap without sural nerve .The aim of this paper is to establish the reliability of this flap even without sural nerve.

The enterprise often uses not only process management systems but also various tools, resources, and services to support process execution. Process spaces can provide a new abstraction for process management in such scenarios. Process-space management systems can enable definition, analysis, and management of process spaces over distributed process artifacts.

So that we should be aware of plants germination needs. Medicinal plants are one of the most useful resources that are being used in different industries. Some of the most important factors in cultivating medicinal plants are determining the resistance to salinity and the best temperature for germination. So, in this research the effects of salinity stress (made by sodium chloride and calcium chloride) and temperature interaction on germination characteristics of hyssopus officinalis have been studied. The experiment is conduct on factorial basis and in a completely randomized design. In this experiment, different osmotic potentials (0, -3, -6 and -9 bar) and also different temperatures (20, 25, 30 and 35°C) are used in lab conditions and it has repe...

The world's largest form of mass religious tourism takes place at the annual Hajj pilgrimage in Mecca. Religious tourism is one of the earliest forms of tourism. The idea of the religious pilgrimage begins almost with the dawn of humanity. Almost since the dawn of history human beings have traveled to holy sites.Religious tourism has increasingly won in popularity in recent years. Khorasan province, due to some places of pilgrimage especiallythe holy shrine of Imam Rezahas always been suitable place for Attract tourists and pilgrims. Therefore, the main purpose in this paper is A Sociological Study of Religious Tourism in Khorasan Province. It is mention in the theoretical framework the present research for its analysis of data, is based on Butler theory. This article is based on quality method and too...

Vitreous body as a natural substance has some properties which seem to make it superior to authologous blood for the management of severe dry eye syndrome and even persistent epithelial defect. This theory is based on some clues listed as below: Vitreous contains a high amount of water and little macromolecules, the character suitable for a substance to be used for relieving symptoms of dry eye as a wetting effect. Moreover, it contains some growth factors such as insulin like growth factors and pigment epithelium-derived factor and high amount of viscous materials such as Chondroitin Sulfates and Hyaloronic acids, all are compounds seems to be effective in the management of dry eye and acceleration ...

Abstract Watershed plays an important role as a source of water, biodiversity, tourist areas and place of living for local inhabitants. Since the ancient times, many important civilizations have risen in the regions, which could not come into existence in the first place without living in harmony with nature as well as practicing efficient use of limited resources in the area. In many regions in Iran, runoff and flooding are produced in some cases from rainfalls as little as 9 mm over a small catchments, causing considerable loss of life and properties. Drought and flood has become two familiar terms in the Iranian climatic conditions. In last half a decade, more than 3700 flood events have been reported, which 53% of them occurred during the last 10 years. The number and peaks (not volume) of flood events and their damages in the last 20 years have increased. Flooding and water shortages are two different sides of the same coin. Now, Integrated Watershed Management(IWM) is one t...

Among intensive care unit (ICU) patients, endotracheal aspirates are the preferred respiratory site; however, for patients without an artificial airway, oropharyngeal (OP) cultures are often obtained with the rationale that they also reflect the flora of the lower respiratory tract. After a review of current literature, it was found that there is no proof that these two respiratory methods are comparable. This study aimed to determine if OP swabs are an acceptable alternative surveillance method to endotracheal aspirates for A. baumannii. Methods: Endotracheal aspirates and OP swabs were collected from random patients with artificial airways (i.e. endotracheal tubes and tracheotomies) in the medical and surgical ICUs. A. baumannii was identified by standard lab protocol and susceptibility was performed using CLSI guidelines. Results: Sample...
