intruduction: pattellofemoral pain syndrome (p.f.p.s) is the most common problem in knee joint. various authors have indicated that imbalance of muscle activity between vastus medialis oblique (vmo) and vastus lateralis (vl) might lead to p.f.p.s. the objective is to determine the effect of patellar taping on vmo/vl myoelectric activity ratio during maximal isometric contraction in open and clo...

Background: Venous ulcers are a major problem for patients with chronic venous disease (CVD) such as varicose veins. Its treatment is very complex and requires great care, such that inappropriate responses to various medical and surgical treatment could change this condition. This report aims to provide clinical experiences of Iranian traditional medicine that ...

We propose a robust optimization approach to minimize total propagated delay in the aircraft routing problem, a setting first developed by Lan et al. (2006) and then extended by Dunbar et al. (2012, 2014). Instead of minimizing the expected total propagated delay by assuming that flight leg delays follow specific probability distributions, our model minimizes the maximal possible total propagat...
