nearly just a decade ago, olive leaf moth, palpita unionalis, was identified as an exotic pest from an olive grove in roodbar, iran. in order to plan an ipm programme regarding olive, a series of laboratory and field studies were carried out during 2001-2003 in qazvin province. to study the emergence time, number of generations, feeding behaviour and developmental periods at field, five trees (...

background: asphyxia is a perinatal accident with a high mortality rate, therapeutic hypothermia in both head or whole body was suggested as effective therapeutic methods. in this study, we compare these methods in neonates with asphyxia.methods and materials: 16 neonates with asphyxia in two hospitals including alzahra(head hypothermia) and taleghani hospital (total body hypothermia) went unde...

introduction: developmental changes in atrioventricular nodal conduction time and refractoriness have been shown in several studies. prevalence of atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (avnrt) is clearly age-dependent. the purpose of this study was to determine developmental changes of basic and frequency-dependent electrophysiological properties of the atrioventricular node (av-node) in...

objectives: the aim of this research is to compare cognitive flexibility and adjustment between two groups of students with developmental coordination disorder (dcd) and typically developing students. methods: for this purpose, 50 students with dcd and 50 typically developing students were chosen among 12 primary schools. the developmental coordination disorder questionnaire (dcd-q), adjustment...

purpose: this study aimed to investigate the effect of sports activities on behavioral-emotional problems of students with intellectual disability. methods: research method was quasi-experimental with pretest-posttest design and the control group. the study population consisted of all students with intellectual disability in farashband city, iran who were studying in 2013. the sample comprised ...

breastfeeding plays a pivotal role in the promotion of health and prevention of psychological problems in children. this study aimed to compare the effects of breastfeeding educational programs on the development of infants aged 1-3 months based on the model of belief, attitude, subjective norm, and enabling factors (basnef) and application of acupressure on the gb-21 point. methods: this quasi...

objective(s): anti-epileptic drugs (aeds) have the potential to affect fetal development throughout pregnancy. considering the broad therapeutic indications of pregabalin (pgb), its potential teratogenic effects and the levels of homocysteine have been studied.   materials and methods: timed-pregnant mice received one of three doses of pgb (20, 40 or 80 mg/kg/day) or the vehicle control during ...

Current research in developmental biology aims to link developmental genetic pathways with the processes going on at cellular and tissue level. Normal processes will only take place under specific sequential conditions at the level of the pathways. Disrupting or altering pathways may mean disrupted or altered development. This paper is part of a larger work exploring methods of detecting and ex...
