metabolic alkalosis is characterized by high hco3- as it is seen in chronic respiratory acidosis, but ph differentiates the two disorders. there is no characteristic symptom or sign. orthostatic hypotension may be encountered. weakness and hyporeflexia occur if serum k+ is markerdly low. tetany and neuromuscular irritability occur rarely. we report the results of retrospective data analysis of ...

Introduction: It was shown in a previous study, that MCPIP, a cilostamide derivative, increased atrial contraction force without changing contraction rate. To improve this property, two new derivatives of cilostamide were synthesized and their effects on PDE3 activity and isolated rat atria contraction were investigated. Methods: The inhibitory effect of each compound on PDE3 enzyme was dete...

In this paper, we present a new concept of random contraction and prove a coupled random fixed point theorem under this condition which generalizes stochastic Banach contraction principle. Finally, we apply our contraction to obtain a solution of random nonlinear integral equations and we present a numerical example.

background: accidents are the second reason for mortality and morbidity in iran. among them, brain injuries are the most important damage. clarification of the effects of brain injuries on different body systems will help physicians to prioritize their treatment strategies. in this study, the effect of pure brain trauma on the cardiovascular system and lungs 24 hours post trauma was assessed. m...

background: there is much debate about effects of medicinal plants such as saffron (crocus sativus) on human health. women are highly involved in farming and processing of this plant. this study is aimed at evaluating the saffron impacts on miscarriage rate of female farmers working in saffron fields. methods: this was a prospective case-control study on pregnant female farmers during harvestin...
