Chronic stress contributes to preterm birth (PTB), through direct physiological mechanisms or behavioral pathways. This review identified interventions to prevent PTB through decreased maternal stress. Studies were grouped according to intervention: group prenatal care (11 studies), care coordination (8 studies), health insurance expansion (4 studies), expanded prenatal education/support in the...

Pre-stress techniques tend to increase cross-sectional capacity and optimize design. Such features have made these techniques rather popular. Over time, these structures tend to fail, and the reduction of pre-stress force over the lifetime of the structure is said to be one of the most significant destructive factors in these structures. This decrease in force occurs due to various reasons. In ...

nitric oxide (no) is thought to be involved in spatial learning and memory in several brain areas such as hippocampus. this study examined the effects of post-training intrahippocampal microinjections of 1400w as a selective inos inhibitor on spatial memory, in anesthetized and non-anesthetized situations in rats. in the present work, 4-day training trials of animals were conducted. spatial mem...

introduction: an efficient method of tomographic imaging in nuclear medicine is positron emission tomography (pet). compared to spect, pet has the advantages of higher levels of sensitivity, spatial resolution and more accurate quantification. however, high noise levels in the image limit its diagnostic utility. noise removal in nuclear medicine is traditionally based on fourier decomposition o...
