There are many evidences confirming that a_ BMI more than 25 will significantly increase the risk of cardiovascular problems and related diseases. BMI more than 30 will dramatically raise mortality rate. An increase in BMI will lead to an increase of mean blood pressure and blood cholestrol, and a decrease in HDL levels. In men with morbid obesity the risk of hypertemion and/or elevated cholest...

OBJECTIVES Multiple systematic reviews have evaluated fluorides for caries prevention in children, but a need to review the literature regarding supplemental fluoride use in adults still remains. The purpose of this systematic review is to evaluate the research regarding professional and/or supplemental self-applied fluoride for preventing and remineralizing caries in moderate and high caries r...

Bacterial vaginosis is a polymicrobial, superficial vaginal infection involving reduction in the amount of hydrogen-peroxide-producing Lactobacillus and an overgrowth anaerobic Gram-negative or Gram-variable bacteria. Risk FactorsThe current predictors BV have been limited to race, sexual activity, socioeconomic status, perhaps douching. The reported prevalence among pregnant women ranges from ...

in this paper the effectiveness combination of bed sill and collar in reduction of local scour depth at cylindrical piers under clear water flow condition was investigated (v/vc=0.9). in the first of experiments, the bed sill was located in downstream and different distances from the piers. results indicated that minimum distance of the bed sill from the piers in downstream has maximum reductio...

The effects of aluminium and aluminium-citrate on some serum parameters related to carbohydrate metabolism in male Wistar rats were investigated. Daily intraperitoneal administrations of 1 mg/kg body weight of aluminium or aluminiumcitrate (1: 1) for 50 days led to the elevation of serum insulin by 24 or 40 percent respectively, with the concomitant decrease in serum glucose concentrations ...

PURPOSE Women with a BRCA1 mutation (BRCA1(mut)) need risk reduction options beyond mastectomy and oophorectomy. We evaluated the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of hormonal chemoprevention with a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHA) with low-dose add-back steroids in BRCA1(mut) carriers. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN The 12-month open label clinical trial used the GnRHA deslorelin, ultra-...

in this research, the chemimechanical pulps (cmp) with different yields were prepared by using the mixtures of constant raw materials comprising iranian hardwood species such as hornbeam (44%), poplar (31%), maple (15%) and salix (10%). this research was aiming to study cmp pulp properties variations in yields lower than standard limit (85%). four different yields (84, 80, 73 and 67%) were achi...

Trichotillomania is a functionally impairing, often overlooked disorder with no Food and Drug Administration-approved medications indicated for its treatment. The ability of clinical trials to detect the beneficial effects of pharmacologic treatment in trichotillomania has been hampered by the high placebo response rate. Very little is known about baseline demographic and clinical characteristi...
