the effects of prolonged administration of methylthiouracil were studied on several physiological parameters pertinent to the thyroid function in dog. though the individual variations of the measured parameters were not consistent but the statistical differences of diminution of basal metabolism rate, respiration rate and erythrocyte count- were significant brief explanations for the mechanism ...

background and aim: low back pain is a common complaint in communities which has negative effects on different aspects of life. an effective method for reduction of low back pain complications is foot reflexology. foot reflexology has a positive effect in reduction of complications in low back pain. foot reflexology reduces respiratory rate, blood pressure and pulse rate. this study is an inves...

A model was developed to study stress in chickens. Continuous administration of adrenocorticotropic hormone was employed (ACTH) using physiological mini-osmotic pumps. A validation of controls for this procedure showed that nonhandled (NHCON), sham surgical procedure for pump implantation (SMCON) and surgical implantation of a pump delivering saline (SALCON) were all acceptable controls. Contin...

A mathematical model for solute distribution within the tissue due to combined processes of diffusion and convective transport through the tissue, through the capillary wall, and by lymphatic absorption, during the exchange of the solute between an organ and external medium is applied for the description of the transport of small, middle and macro molecules. The analytical solutions of the tran...

The level of the phobia condition and his progress is done by the evaluation that the doctor does of the patient, without having a certain control of the variables of measurement that show an indication of the medical evolution. The possibility of discovering some variables that might be measured and of being able to determine the evolution of the patient and the level of the illness, is an ins...

Background Thermal component of the atmospheric environment is an important issue which is related to human's health. Thermal environment includes both heat exchange conditions (stress) and the physiological response (strain). The aim of this study was to measure the association of heat indices (PSI, HSI, Humidex) especially subjective one (STI) with some physiological parameters (Blood pressur...

vaccination pain management in infants may prevent short-term and long-term physical and mental consequences in them. As a result, this study aimed to determine and investigate the effect of breastfeeding and sensorial saturation on physiological parameters of infants after administration of pentavalent vaccine at four and six months of age. Materials and Methods: This randomized controlled fie...
