Background: Functional ovarian cysts include follicular, corpus luteum, and theca lutein cysts are the most common adenexal masses (about 50%) in women of reproductive age. Treatment with the combined monophasic oral contraceptives reduces functional ovarian cysts. Yaz (drospirenone/ethinyl estradiol) is a low-dose combined oral contraceptive pill containing 20 μg ethinyl estradiol and 3 mg dro...

Kasabach-merritt syndrome is a rare life-threatening syndrome associated with vascular tumors such as tufted angioma and kaposiform hemangioendothelioma. For this syndrome, there exist a few treatment modalities with variable results. For many years, corticosteroids have been employed in the first-line therapy. Nowadays, on the other hand, β blockers such as propranolol have been used owing to ...

many studies have been conducted focusing on the effects of friction coefficient or texture depth on the highway accident risk. however, combined effects of these parameters have not been still addressed. in this research the interaction between friction coefficient, texture depth and accident rate in 30 freeway sections were examined. the accident data were gathered and an apparatus was design...

In this article, a new approach to tidal harmonic analysis is introduced. This approach incorporates more constituents in the least squares method for a fixed duration of noise-free tidal record and results in a more accurate tidal prediction. Moreover, it is demonstrated that 135 days of hourly data, which is significantly less than 369 days data in the Rayleigh criterion, is sufficient for th...

Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most prevalent causes of gastroenteritis worldwide. Knowing the precise boundary for the growth/no growth interface of S. aureus and also determining the period of time needed for bacterial growth initiation is necessary for food safety risk assessment. This study was designed to examine the combined effects of temperature, acetic acid, inoculum level and NaC...

the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of 8 weeks of combined station training on the adiponectin and hs-crp in overweight women. 22 overweight women (mean ± sd, age 26.04±4.43 years; weight 73.10±6.56 kg; body mass index 29.35±2.53) were voluntarily selected and randomly divided into control (n=11) and combined station training (n=11) groups. the subjects of combined station training...

This article brings an overview of mycotoxin co-occurrence in foods in Croatia and neighbouring countries and experimental data from mycotoxin interaction studies involving Fusarium toxins, ochratoxin A (OTA), and aflatoxin B(1) (AFB(1)). Only a few studies of combined mycotoxin toxicity have employed a mathematical/ statistical design, while others have used common statistics in order to compa...
