BACKGROUND Avoidance behavior against positive allergens detected by using multiple allergen simultaneous test (MAST)-immunoblot assay in patients with urticaria has been rarely reported. OBJECTIVE We aimed to assess the avoidance behavior of patients with urticaria against positive allergens detected with a MAST. METHODS One hundred and one urticaria patients who showed positivity to at le...

background: psychological problems of infertility can be a contributory factor in intensity of infertility. the aim of this study was to estimate the effectiveness of coping techniques training on coping strategies of infertile women in kermanshah. methods: among the women who visiting infertile clinic, 40 volunteer women had been chosen and randomly divided equally into two experimental and co...

Detecting threats and escaping before serious confrontations are important for animals to avoid danger and death. Transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1), a member of the TRP superfamily, is expressed in a subset of sensory neurons and mediates nociception evoked by pungent chemicals. Using behavioral testing, we found that TRPA1 knockout mice failed to avoid entering a chamber filled wi...

introduction: knowledge of the anatomic location and dimension of the molar pulp chamber may preserve healthy pulp during operative procedure and reduce risk of perforation of chamber during access preparation. a review of literatures regarding the morphology of pulp chamber however revealed very little information; so the aim of this in vivo study was to measure the dimensions of first molar p...

Sound source localization has numerous applications such as detection and localization of mechanical or structural failures in vehicles and buildings or bridges, security systems, collision avoidance, and robotic vision. The paper presents the design of an anechoic chamber, sensor arrays and an analysis of how the data acquired from the sensors could be used for sound source localization and ob...

Background: Neurohormones like testosterone and estrogen play important roles in learning and memory. Estrogen receptors, densely expressed in the CA1 region of rat hippocampus, mediate the effects of estrogen on learning and memory. Estrogen receptors belong to a family of transcription factors, the nuclear receptor super family, and have two subtypes, estrogen receptor α and estrogen receptor...

Two different measures of the retention of avoidance conditioning, frequently used in the investigation of retrograde anmesia (RA), were examined. Rats were given a single training trial on either passive or active avoidance in a conventional black-white discrimination apparatus and step•through latencies were recorded. Task sequence, footshock and hypothermia were experimentally varied across ...

This paper presents the development of a complete mobile fog chamber system, which encompasses the aspects of electronic instrumentation, video recording, fog generation system, high-voltage source, data acquisition system and monitoring instrument. The chamber has all the basic features to conduct type-tests on insulator of ceramic and nonceramic type in an environment of artificially polluted...

purpose: to compare anterior segment and ocular biometric parameters of unaffected fellow eyes of patients with a previous attack of acute angle closure (aac), primary angle closure suspect (pacs) eyes, and normal eyes; and to assess the risk of developing aac in pacs. methods: in this prospective comparative observational case series, 16 unaffected fellow eyes of patients with a previous attac...
