PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the individual change of International prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and Overactive Bladder Symptom Score (OABSS) in each patient by temperature conditions. MATERIALS AND METHODS The severity of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) was explored using the IPSS and OABSS questionnaires that were completed by 2.486 subjects (923 males and 1.563 female...

in this study, we aimed to reconstruct the mean, maximum mean and ‎minimum mean temperature from the chronology of tree rings width of two ‎quercus persica sites in dena region, where efficient climatic data have a ‎short period (1982-2011). the duration of common chronology of the sites ‎is 131 years (1881-2011).considering the strong correlation between ‎climatic data and growth rin...

BACKGROUND Mortality increases as ambient temperature increases. Because cocaine affects core body temperature, ambient temperature may play a role in cocaine-related mortality in particular. The present study examined the association between ambient temperature and fatal overdoses over time in New York City. METHODS Mortality data were obtained from the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner f...

A recently advanced argument against the atmospheric greenhouse effect is refuted. A planet without an infrared absorbing atmosphere is mathematically constrained to have an average temperature less than or equal to the effective radiating temperature. Observed parameters for Earth prove that without infrared absorption by the atmosphere, the average temperature of Earth’s surface would be at l...

Tissue heating caused by exposure to RF radiation is a primary safety concern in MR imaging. Therefore, to determine temperature changes caused by high field strength MR imaging of the brain with a head coil, we measured body and skin temperatures in 35 patients immediately before and after clinical MR imaging. MR imaging was performed with a 1.5 T MR system using a 28-cm, open-bore RF transmit...

During the past two decades, there have been tremendous developments in near-field imaging and local probing techniques. Examples are the Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM), Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), Near-field Scanning Optical Microscope (NSOM), Photon Scanning Tunneling Microscope (PSTM), and Scanning Thermal Microscope (SThM).Results showed that the average reflectance for a dopant con...

the main objective of this study was to reveal the impact of nine climate indices on temperature changes and climate oscillations in golestan province along the southern coast of the caspian sea. climate indices data from across the atlantic-eurasian sector were collected from the ncep/ncar, the climate prediction centre (cpc) and the climatic research unit (cru) over a period of 40 years (1971...
