OBJECTIVE To assess the visual quality of life in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), and to observe whether this parameter could be correlated to the findings of the ophthalmologic examination. METHOD The translated and validated 25-Item National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire (VFQ-25) was used to assess the visual quality of life. Clinical data on MS, visual acuity, visual f...

background: finding the safe location of spinal cord for cerebrospinal fluid (csf) during surgical procedures is very important due to its various nature for each patient as well as its potential peripheral nervous system hazards. the aim of this study was to find the relationship between the location of conus medullaris (cm) and gender, age and body mass index (bmi) in order to minimize the po...

We analyse a high-resolution, fully cosmological, hydrodynamical disc galaxy simulation, to study the source of the double-exponential light profiles seen in many stellar discs, and the effects of stellar radial migration upon the spatio-temporal evolution of both the disc age and metallicity distributions. We find a “break” in the pure exponential stellar surface brightness profile, and trace ...

background & aim: low back pain is the most debilitating condition, and can lead to decreased physical function, compromised quality of life, and psychological distress. several studies have been conducted to recognize the risk factors of low back pain, but despite of strong relationship between obesity and low back pain, the underlying mechanisms are unclear. the aim of this study was to evalu...

The Colour-Magnitude Diagrams (CMDs) from the microlensing projects provide valuable information, to improve our understanding of galactic structure. A description is given of the extinction along the line of sight. The MACHO and OGLE microlensing candidates ([1],[19]) are used to tune up the population model and to determine the contribution from various stellar populations in the CMD. About 5...

The field experiment was conducted during the fall agricultural season 2021-2022 in Department of Horticulture and Gardens, Al-Kut municipality; completed on 15 February. 2022, to study effect cultivar, fulvic acid, their interaction some broccoli's physical chemical properties. included two factors: cultivars, MATSURI, DOMO, JASSMINE, second factor has four concentrations which are: (0, 1, 2, ...

background & aim: low back pain is the most debilitating condition, and can lead to decreased physical function, compromised quality of life, and psychological distress. several studies has conducted to recognize the risk factors of lbp, but despite of strong relationship between obesity and lbp, the underlying mechanisms are unclear. the aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship betwe...

We investigate in this paper the effect of gas drag on the dynamics of the dust particles in the edge-on β Pictoris disc in order to derive an upper limit on the mass of gas in this system. Our study is motivated by the large uncertainties on the amount of gas in the β Pictoris disc currently found in the literature. The dust particles are assumed to originate from a colliding annulus of planet...

Background & Importance: Disc herniation is defined as the prolapsed of material disc into the spinal canal. If the disc fragment is free in spinal canal, it is called sequestration disc fragment. Occasionally, alteration in sequestration disc fragment makes the diagnosis of the disc herniation, challenging. Case Presentation: We reviewed a rare case of the cervical sequestrated disc...

We examine the jets and the disc of SS 433 at super-Eddington luminosities with Ṁ ∼ 600Ṁc by time-dependent two-dimensional radiation hydrodynamical calculations, assuming α-model for the viscosity. One-dimensional supercritical accretion disc models with mass loss or advection are used as the initial configurations of the disc. As a result, from the initial advective disc models with α =0.001 ...
