Indole-3-carbinol (I3C) is a plant compound derived from glucosinolates, found in cruciferous vegetables. Researchers have indicated that I3C shows great promise as a cancer preventative and hormone-balancing agent. HyperChem 7.5 software was used for quantum mechanical calculations. The geometry optimization was carried out using Ab Initio method. QSAR parameters were generated with semi empir...

We study the tidal evolution of a binary system consisting of a 1.4M⊙ compact object in elliptic orbit about a 10M⊙ uniformly rotating main sequence (MS) star for various values of the initial orbital parameters. We apply our previously published results of 2D non-adiabatic calculations of the non-radial gand r-mode oscillations of the uniformly rotating MS star, and include the effects of reso...

Within a rather general tight-binding framework, we studied the magnetic properties of Nin clusters with n = 9 through 60. In addition to usual hopping, exchange, and spin-orbit coupling terms, our Hamiltonian also included orbital correlation and valence orbital shift of surface atoms. We show that orbital moment not only contributes appreciably to the total moment in this range of cluster siz...

blow out fracture is a common disease in oculoplastics clinics. one of indication for surgical intervention is entrapment of inferior rectus muscle in the fractured site. in this article authors represent two cases with this disease who underwent surgery for the entrapment of perimuscular fascia without inferior rectus muscle involvement. the results of treatment in both cases were excellent. t...

introduction: fractures of the orbital floor, which are caused by various mechanisms, result in the herniation of periorbital tissue into the paranasal sinuses and its subsequent complications. early diagnosis using various techniques and reduction of fractures are necessary to preserve ocular function and esthetic. use of an endoscope has been associated with some advantages, including a decre...

UNLABELLED Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant inherited disease. Some stigmata of NF1 occur in the orbital region. The aim of this study was to reveal whether alterations of the orbital rim visible on plain radiographs may indicate the presence of a plexiform neurofibroma (PNF), a tumour almost exclusively diagnosed in NF1. MATERIAL AND METHODS The plain orbital radiograp...

The set of radial velocity measurements of the HD 160691 has been recently published by Jones et al. (2002b). It reveals a linear trend that indicates a presence of the second planet in this system. The preliminary double-Keplerian orbital fit to the observations, announced by the discovery team, describes a highly unstable, self-disrupting configuration. Because the observational window of the...

purpose: to report a case of enophthalmos secondary to complete globe dislocation into the maxillary sinus due to orbital fracture. patient and findings: an 18-year-old man was referred to labafinejad hospital, one week after a car accident. at initial examination, the globe was not seen within the right orbit. a large floor fracture and globe luxation into the right maxillary sinus were confir...
