background: data suggest that v. arctostaphylos, b. thunbergii var. atropurpurea, e. angustifolia and l. acanthodes may prevent gastric ulcers induced by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (nsaids). objective: to explore the ulcer-protective potential of these plants in indomethacin-induced gastric ulcers in rats. methods: saline, hydro-alcoholic extract of each plant (100, 400, 800 mg/kg) a...

in order to investigate effect of organic manure and super absorbent on physiological and biochemical traits of potato (solanum tubersum, cv marfona), a split plot experiment was conducted as randomized complete block design with three replications at research farm, agriculture college, university of razi in 2010. main factor included two levels of super absorbent a200 (0 and 70 kg/ha,) and spl...

abstract in order to study the effects of irrigation regimes on physiological traits, yield and water use efficiency of potato (solanum tuberosum l.) in mashhad weather condition, an experiment was conducted in 2009 at research field of the college of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad, using factorial experiment based on randomized complete blocks design with 3 replications. experimen...

indoor air quality is a general concept that specifies to air quality of buildings and is related to health and relaxation in there. this index contains removal of all contaminants for example microbial, gas types, particles, etc., and suggests remedial approaches toward refreshing the building air and air circulation in these constructions. in this article we study indoor air quality index (ia...

Background: Vision plays an important role in supporting efficient locomotion. The present study aimed to measure the physiological cost index (PCI) and some kinematic parameters of preferred walking and jogging in blind and sighted students.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among blind (n=18) and sighted (n=27) students aged 8-16 years. The following parameters were measured...

The purpose of this article is to examine the applicability of Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) index as an innovative index for evaluating of occupational heat stress in outdoor environments. 175 workers of 12 open-pit mines in Tehran, Iran were selected for this research study. First, the environmental variables such as air temperature, wet-bulb temperature, globe temperature, relative ...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW There are several commercially available electroencephalogram-derived devices for monitoring anaesthesia depth. This article reviews all published studies describing their use in children; first assessing studies of performance in measuring anaesthesia depth in observational, physiological studies and then describing relevant outcome studies. There is also a brief discussion o...
