Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a common disorder. Although the etiology of PMS is not clear, to relieve from this syndrome different methods are recommended. One of them is use of medicinal herbs. This study was carried out to evaluate effects of ginger on severity of symptoms of PMS. This study was a clinical trial, double-blinded work, and participants were randomly allocated to intervention ...

Resident alveolar macrophages (AMs) and peritoneal macrophages (PMs), though they originate from common precursor cells, differ morphologically and functionally. The two types of macrophages residing in different tissues may respond differently to glucocorticoids. In the present study, we compared the effects of a synthetic glucocorticoid, dexamethasone (Dex), on rat AMs and PMs with regard to ...

Four mechanisms by which peritrophic membranes (PMs) potentially protect herbivorous insects from ingested allelochemicals are reviewed: adsorption, ultrafiltration, polyanion exclusion, and the capacity of PMs to act as antioxidants. Most of the research on the protective roles of PMs against ingested allelochemicals has focused on their impermeability to tannins. Adsorption of tannins by the ...

This study examines the effect of strategic performance measurement systems (PMS) on managers’ role clarity, psychological empowerment, job satisfaction and managerial performance. Data were collected using a survey of 83 strategic business unit managers from Australian manufacturing organisations. Consistent with the need to define the underlying theoretical properties of management accounting...

There is considerable interest in the role of management control systems (MCS) in enhancing innovation and performance in organisations. An aspect of MCS that has attracted recent attention is the role of performance measurement systems (PMS) in organisational innovation. However, as yet, there has been little consideration given to identifying the nature of the relationship between PMS and cre...

Mutations in the synaptic gene SHANK3 lead to a neurodevelopmental disorder known as Phelan-McDermid syndrome (PMS). PMS is a relatively common monogenic and highly penetrant cause of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and intellectual disability (ID), and frequently presents with attention deficits. The underlying neurobiology of PMS is not fully known and pharmacological treatments for core sympt...

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a common disorder of some women during their reproductive years, characterized by a range of cyclical physical and/or mood symptoms experienced during the last few days of each menstrual cycle. Several treatment approaches have been applied, but have shown limited success, as the exact cause and pathophysiology of PMS is still not fully identified. In this paper, ...

Among the research on patents, the applications of Patent Map to Patent Analysis have been gradually emphasized. For three years, the researchers have applied Patent Map Theory Model to establishing Patent Map System (PMS) assisting decision-makers in Patent Analysis. Based on the system requirements, relevant function components are planned, and UML technology is utilized for the design and es...

We present the results of an extensive search for periodic and irregular variable pre-main sequence (PMS) stars in the young (2–4 Myr) open cluster NGC 2264, based on photometric monitoring using the Wide Field Imager (WFI) on the 2.2 m telescope on La Silla (Chile). In total, about 10600 stars with IC magnitudes between 9.8 mag and 21 mag have been monitored in our 34 ×33 field. Time series da...
