Reactive oxygen species (ROSs) are often associated with damage to cellular functions. ROSs production is indicatives of oxidative stress during physical exercise. Oxidative stress occurs in those circumstances in which free radicals determine a tissue damage or production of toxic and dangerous compounds for tissues. In a relaxation state, antioxidant defense of body may hold under control fre...

Dust storms are catastrophic natural disasters that beside other disasters frequency occur in the arid and semiaridregions worldwide. Drought occurrence, climate aridity, dryness of the Hamoun Lake cause strong winds to below.These conditions have been prepared for dust storms in Sistan region. The damages to Sistan society have beenmeasured using different criteria. The result shows that, peak...

Earthquake, an unpredictable natural disaster, poses a significant threat to public health, causing physical, human, social, cultural, and economic damages [1]. Iran is among the world's top 10 earthquake-prone countries—remembering earthquakes cause the greatest human casualties. Preparedness and safe behavior before and during earthquakes are crucially important to reduce the damage of earthq...
