church bell; and (c) the outline of the upper abdomen is protuberant, while the outline of the lower abdomen is normal. (2) A soft tissue radiograph may have located the low lying placenta. Other methods of radiological diagnosis such as: (a) measuring the distance between the head and sacral promontory with the patient partially reclining and measuring the distance between the symphysis pubis ...

The current study presents volumetric reconstruction of the tympanic cavity obtained from micro-CT scans which pixel size was 18 μm. Thanks to this, osseous components of the tympanic cavity were shown in high optical resolution, causing that their morphological appearance was clearly demonstrated. Particular attention was paid on imaging the medial wall of the tympanic cavity, because its stru...

background and aim: the normal response of h-reflex depression (hd) was reduced in chronic spinal cord injury (sci) patients. the reduction of this normal response can lead to increase the muscle tone and spasticity. the purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of tripolar cathodal stimulation on hd in sci patients.   materials and methods: this study was conducted in 10 volunteered s...

In this study, the authors reported a case of woman with severe compulsion who became pregnant during the Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation. We carried out Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and behavior therapy simultaneously after repeated medications' refraction. The patient received 20 sessions 1 Hz Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in right dorsolateral pref...

background: acceptance of uterus and reaction between endometrium and embryo has an important role for implantation. muc1 an integral membrane mucin is expressed on the apical surface of uterine epithelial cells and could have effects on its receptivity. objective: the aim of this study was to evaluate the changes in muc1 expression of gravid mouse endometrium with and without hyperstimulation ...

background: the primary goal of antenatal testing is to identify fetuses at risk of intrauterine neurologic injury or death so that these adverse outcomes can be prevented. we want to assess nonstress test (nst) results and some parameters before and after vibro-acoustic stimulation and acupressure. we did a randomized controlled clinical trial in shahid-beheshti hospital in isfahan in 2011. ma...

introduction: considering high prevalence of epileptic disease and considering that 40 percent of epileptic patients are resistant to drug therapy, it needs more researches to find new therapeutic ways. lfs is among the new methods for epilepsy treatments. one possible mechanism involved in the anticonvulsant effect of lfs is increased adenosine. therefore, in this study the role of adenosine p...

results in the control group, barthel and fugl-meyer indices showed significant improvement (p = 0.01, p = 0.00), while in the experimental group, significant improvement in barthel and fugl-meyer indices and dynamometers has been observed (p = 0.01, p = 0.00, p = 0.007). conclusions rtms can improve hand muscle force and functions of patients with chronic hemiplegia, while conventional treatme...

Two well-developed late Pleistocene dune fields have been identified on the western and eastern side of Akrotiri promontory (Lemesos, Cyprus). The extend immediately from low level their source beaches onto higher ground (>48 m amsl). Geomorphic observations supported by OSL dating sedimentological data provided evidence development for palaeogeographic reconstruction area. Relative sea chan...
