This clinical note describes a typical case of dynamic varus deformity of the hind part of the foot in a head injured adult. Gait analysis objectified, by kinematic data, the perturbed movement of the rear foot in the frontal plane and identified, by dynamic electromyography, the overactive muscle (posterior tibialis) involved in the deformity. The diagnosis was confirmed by a motor point block...

Block copolymer nano-micelles are especially important in cancer treatment because of their fine dimensions. In this article, three systems of amphiphilic copolymers with similar lengths and different ratios of the hydrophobic and hydrophilic chains are studied using implicit-solvent coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations. The factor fphil is defined as the ratio of the number...

the vast expanse of the urban distressed areas in the country and multiple damages that their inhabitants face on economic, social and cultural aspects remind the need for higher attention to these constructions. meanwhile, tehran's distressed areas with more than 3268 hectares (5.3% of the area of ​​tehran) has a population of one million and three hundred thousand people in it, is one of...

Abstract Introduction Cardiac arrhythmia and heart block in particular is commonly found association with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Here we describe real-time responsivity of 2nd degree to treatment OSA positive airway pressure (PAP) during a titration study. Report case(s) Our patient 70-year old man without significant cardiovascular disease. He presented loud snoring excessive daytime s...

Simple upper bounds for the spectral radius of an H-matrix and a block H-matrix are presented. They represent an improvement over the bounds in [T.Z. Huang, R.S. Ran, A simple estimation for the spectral radius of (block) H-matrices, Journal of Computational Applied Mathematics, 177 (2005), pp. 455–459].

Introduction: Balance in the elderly is one of the important issues, and imbalance can create irreparable problems for the elderly. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Frenkel balance exercise and aerobic exercise (walking) on improving the balance of elderly patients in Kerman province in 2016-2017.   Methods: We used a randomized block design, with 4 participants in each ...

Block fading is a popular channel model that approximates the behavior of different wireless communication systems. Automatic-repeat request (ARQ) protocols are used to provide reliable communication in wireless networks. In this paper the throughput of the basic selective-repeat (SR) ARQ in block fading environments is derived. Single-antenna ARQ systems employing both coherent BPSK and QPSK a...

Background. Continuous Training (CT) is often considered an effective way to reduce obesity. However, recently, a popular protocol called High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) has shown up as an alternative to CT. There is another factor affecting obesity named UCP2 45-bp Insersion/Deletion genetic marker. Objectives. This research aims to determine the effect of the UCP2 45-bp I/D gene as a...
