Morteza Bayareh Department of Mechanical Engineering, Young researchers Club, Lamerd Branch, Islamic Azad University, Lamerd, Iran Abstract The density ratio effects on the motion of a three-dimensional drop in Poiseuille flow are examined at finite Reynolds numbers using a finite difference front tracking method. The elliptic pressure equation is solved by a multi-grid method. For deformable d...

change and order have been the central subjects of masters of social thought and historical sociology in the modern age. moreover, explanation of these phenomena has evolved from a naturalistic perspective and negation of agency to an approach emphasizing agency and structure and their mutual interaction. based on a theoretical framework, this article aims to compare shahid motahari’s thought r...

Introduction: Shivering is a protective reaction. It increases the production of body temperature by muscular contraction. Post-surgery shivering is one of the prevalent side effects of anesthesia. This is usually accompanied with other problems such as oxygen consumption increase, intracranialpressureincrease, and other complications. Hence, this study compared the effect of various doses of k...

BACKGROUND/AIM Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the cause of 10% of hospital-acquired infections. The organisms are often multidrug- resistant, mediated mostly by antibiotic-resistant integrons. The aim of this research was to study integron carriage and its association with multidrug resistance in burn and nonburn clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 112 P. aeruginos...

Background: Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological disease. Measuring quality of life in these patients could be a useful tool for evaluation and prioritization of care services. The 39-item Parkinson’s Disease questionnaire (PDQ-39) is an acceptable measure to assess quality of life in these patients. Objectives: This study aims to assess the validity and reliability of the Persian ...

INTRODUCTION Identification of simple and measurable prognostic factors is an important issue in treatment evaluation of breast cancer. The present study was conducted to evaluate the prognostic role of vascular invasion in lymph node negative breast cancer patients. METHODS in a retrospective design, we analyzed the recorded profiles of the 1,640 patients treated in the breast cancer departm...

OBJECTIVE To identify Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) from the skin biopsy specimens in burn wound infections by multiplex polymerase chain reaction (M-PCR) and detection of antimicrobial susceptibility of isolates from culture. METHODS We conducted this cross-sectional study in 140 patients with wound infections who admitted to the referral burn center of Motahari, Tehran, Iran, durin...

BACKGROUND Acinetobacter baumannii is an important human pathogen with increasing notoriety in the recent years, as a causative organism of drug resistant nosocomial infections, particularly in immunocompromised patients hospitalized in burn centers. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determinate the role of efflux pump(s) in ciprofloxacin resistance of A. baumannii strains isolated from...
