Background The conventional ovarian stimulation protocol aims to provide the maximum number of oocytes for fertilization which is lead to several embryos for selecting to transfer. There are some complications in this case like; OHSS, Multiple gestation, Time consuming, Patients discomfort, High costs, Emotional distress and Reduced implantation rate due to the embryo- endometrial asynchrony. R...

background headache is one of the most prevalent investigated complaints in the neurology clinics and is the most common pain-related complaint worldwide. stress is a significant factor that causes and triggers headaches. since healthcare practitioners experience a lot of stress in their careers, they are more prone to headaches. objectives this study was designed to evaluate and compares the e...

conclusions the application of 5-ht1a, 5-ht2, 5-ht3, 5-ht4, 5-ht6 and 5-ht7 receptor antagonists, applied at concentrations lower than 1.0 µm did not modify the efs-induced contraction and relaxation responses, whichsuggests the unlikely involvement of endogenous 5-ht in mediating responses to efs in the described test conditions. materials and methods segments taken from the rat duodenum, jeju...

background: functional electrical stimulation (fes) is the most commonly used system for restoring functions after spinal cord injury (sci). objective: in this study we investigated feedback pid and feedforward-feedback p-pid controllers for regulating the elbow joint angle. methods: the controllers were tuned based on a nonlinear muculoskeletal model containing two links, one joint with one de...

overactive bladder (oab) is a disabling disorder. treatment of cases with oab includes behavioral, pharmacological, surgical interventions and peripheral electrical stimulation. the goal of this study was to determine effects of posterior tibial nerve stimulation on sexual function and pelvic disorders in women with overactive bladder (oab). fifty women were randomly assigned to ptns (posterior...

background and purpose: multiple sclerosis (ms) is a chronic disease that gives rise to a number of unpleasant symptoms that can be difficult to manage by conventional means. there are some aspects of ms-related disability which can be improved by using deep brain stimulation (dbs); particularly movement disorders, such as tremor. the research aim is to study the effect of dbs on ms tremor with...

mechanoreceptors of foot sole likely contribute in the reflex regulations. stimulation of these receptors in the lateral aspect of the foot is corresponded to the lateral plantar division of the tibial nerve. therefore, it was hypothesized that repetitive low threshold afferents stimulation would have an inhibitory effect on the soleus h-reflexes. methods: sixteen normal subjects voluntarily pa...

Previous studies indicate that Matricaria chamomilla (MC), a folk remedy plant, is very useful in the treatment of spasmogenic bowel diseases but the way of its action is not clear. For this purpose, we studied the effect of MC extract on the electrically activation in Guinea-Pig ileum in an invitro model. We used guinea pig in this study. After of kill, we brouhght out a piece of ileum and fix...

A "Qi" feeling (a kind of comfortable sense) during and after acupuncture is one of the important determinants to decide quantity (trial number) of acupuncture stimulation. It has been reported that various autonomic responses were evoked when patients felt "Qi" and when acupuncture stimulation had significant effects on EEGs. However, quantitative relationships among acupuncture stimulation, E...
