When intact roots of lentil (Lens culinaris Med.) are subjected to severe osmotic stress by treatment with a solution of low water potential, they immediately begin to shrink. Within 10 to 15 minutes, shrinkage ceases, and within 20 minutes, the roots resume growth. The time lag between application of osmoticum and resumption of growth varies from about 10 to 30 minutes over the range of extern...

AIM The aim of this study was to detect any relationship between serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), serum amyloid-associated protein (SAA) and N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels, and reversible myocardial ischaemia during cardiovascular exercise tests and to determine whether these biomarkers could predict transient myocardial ischaemia. METHODS Nine...

BACKGROUND We comparatively evaluated the protective effect of the immunophilin ligands cyclosporine A (INN: ciclosporin), FK506, and rapamycin on the spinal cord in a rabbit model of transient ischemia. Both cyclosporine A and FK506 inhibit calcineurin, whereas rapamycin does not. METHODS Thirty-six male New Zealand White rabbits were divided into the following 6 groups: group C, 15 minutes ...

For environmental and economic purposes, it is necessary to search for methods that reduce gas emission by flare from the oil refineries. It causes pollution warmup. All laboratory tests have been completed at Koya University, with contribution of Institute Technology in Koya, check some readings verify their accuracy. Increasing absorptivity gases heavy will expected improve burning characteri...

Methods A randomized-controlled trial was designed for colorectal abdominal surgery patients. Patients were randomized to either receive a 20 minute massage on POD 1 and 2, 20 minutes of ambulation, or a visit by the massage therapist (no massage). Baseline physiologic data (HR, SBP/DBP, RR) were collected 30 minutes prior to and after either intervention. A standardized assessment of patient p...

Introduction: Kisspeptin-13 (KP-13) is a novel endogenous factor, increases synaptic transmission and is involved in several behavioral functions such as anxiety, locomotion, epilepsy and avoidance learning. However, the role of this peptide on cognition has not been well clarified yet. Here we studied the effect of kisspeptin-13 pretreatment on spatial learning and also interaction with cholin...

OBJECTIVE To determine the efficacy of a stretching and strengthening exercise program using an upper extremity robot, as compared with a conventional occupational therapy program for upper extremity spasticity in stroke patients. METHODS Subjects were randomly divided into a robot-assisted therapy (RT) group and a conventional rehabilitation therapy (CT) group. RT group patients received RT ...

Background: To evaluate the preventive effect of different exercise programs on perinatal depression and to provide practical suggestions guide maternal daily plan. Methods: Nine electronic bibliographic databases were searched from inception until 18 January 2022. Meta-analysis all data was performed using RevMan 5.4. Results: Sixteen RCTs consisting 2233 cases included. Compared women in cont...

pain in neonates can be associated with various risks and it seems essential to find a simple and acceptable method for relieving pain. pharmacologic agents are not recommended in neonates for pain relief in minor procedures but orally administered glucose solution is found to be effective. the objective of this study was to assess the efficacy of oral 30% glucose during intramuscular injection...
