PURPOSE To investigate the presence of subgroups in chronic whiplash-associated disorders (WAD) based on pain thresholds for pressure (PPT), cold (CPT), and heat (HPT) and to compare these subgroups with respect to symptomatology, disability, and health aspects. METHODS Two groups of female subjects - patients with chronic WAD (n = 28) and healthy controls (CON; n = 29) - were investigated. Q...

Objective(s) We determined the effect of a high fructose diet either alone or in combination with Iranian shallot or garlic extract on cognitive functions, plasma lipid profile, and the intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test (IPGTT). Materials and Methods Following induction of insulin resistance in fructose-fed rats (Fru-fed), they were randomly assigned to three subgroups. The first subgro...

Let G be an Abelian group of order A >NoIt has been shown [4, Theorem 9 ] that there exist 2A subgroups of G of order A, and that the intersection of all such subgroups is 0. In this paper, this result is improved to the following: If b$0^B^A and ^4>N0, then an Abelian group of order A has 2A subgroups of index B, and the intersection of all such subgroups is 0. In addition, it is shown that th...

If a group ( G ) of order pm contains only one subgroup of order pa, a > 0, it is known to be cyclic unless both p = 2 and at = l.f In this special case there are two possible groups whenever m > 2. The number of cyclic subgroups of order pa in G is divisible by p whenever G is non-cyclic and p > 2. J In the present paper we shall consider the possible types of G when it is assumed that there a...

All maximal finite (absolutely) irreducible subgroups of GL(S, Z) are determined up to Z-equivalence. Moreover, we present a full set of representatives of the Z-classes of the maximal finite irreducible subgroups of GL(n, Z) for n < 9 by listing generators of the groups, the corresponding quadratic forms fixed by these groups, and the shortest vectors of these forms.
