PURPOSE The Ocular Response Analyzer (ORA) proposes to measure corneal biomechanical properties in vivo by monitoring and analyzing the corneal behavior when this structure is submitted to a force induced by an air jet. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between corneal biomechanical properties and corneal-compensated intraocular pressure (IOPCC) measurements as obtained...

Since the anthropometric and biomechanical parameters role is effective in improving the quality of sports skills, researchers and sports scientists are interesting to identify and communicate between these factors. The purpose of this study was making relationship between some of anthropometrical and biomechanical parameter of girl swimmers in swimming breast strokes. Twenty girl Swimmers (mea...

Single dose (SD) of bleomycin induces acute alveolitis followed by a reparative process whilst a repeated dose (RD) results in progressive fibrosis, which may lead to distinct lung tissue biomechanical changes. To test this hypothesis, rats were intratracheally instilled with saline (n=11) or bleomycin (2.5 mgU/kg) once (SD, n=8) or three times (RD, n=9) one week apart, and sacrificed 28 days a...

in order to compare the performance of different weed mangement methods in spring and waiting planting of rainfed chickpea this experiment was carrid out as split plot in randomized complete block design with four replications at maragheh agricaltural research station during 2004–2005 crop season. the main factors were planting ِdates including the waiting and spring planting. sub plots were wee...

The authors summarize the progress made in the past decade toward making homeless assistance programs more accountable to funders, consumers, and the public. They observe that research on the costs of homelessness and cost offsets associated with intervention programs has been limited to people who are homeless with severe mental illness. But this research has raised awareness of the value of t...

background: there are few studies comparing the biomechanical properties of angled blade plate and locking compression plates in supracondylar osteotomy. in the current randomized study, we prospectively compared the clinical and radiological outcomes of supracondylar osteotomy using these two plates. methods: forty patients with valgus knee malalignment were randomly assigned to two equal numb...
