Objective: Type 2 diabetes is amongst the most common chronic illnesses in Iran. Its prevalence is increasing and it has significant economic importance. The aim of this study was to estimate direct therapeutic and non-therapeutic costs of type 2 diabetes Patients Referred to the Diabetes Research Center of Yazd in 2012. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out on 250 ...

In this paper, the general solution of steady-state two-dimensional non-axisymmetric mechanical and thermal stresses and mechanical displacements of a hollow thick cylinder made of fluid-saturated functionally graded porous material (FGPM) is presented. The general form of thermal and mechanical boundary conditions is considered on the inside and outside surfaces. A direct method is used to sol...

the main goal of this paper is the study of the generalized hyers-ulam stability of the following functionalequation f (2x  y)  f (2x  y)  (n 1)(n  2)(n  3) f ( y)  2n2 f (x  y)  f (x  y)  6 f (x) where n  1,2,3,4 , in non–archimedean spaces, by using direct and fixed point methods.

the largest class of algebraic hyper structures satisfying the module like axioms is the v h -module. in this paper, we consider the category of v h -modules and prove that the direct limit alwaysexists in this category. direct limits are defined by a universal property, and so are unique. the mostpowerful tool in order to obtain a module from a given v h - module is the quotient out procedure....

background: the healthcare and socio-economic burden resulting from influenza a (h1n1) pdm09 in spain was considerable. our aim was to estimate and compare the management (resource utilization) and economic healthcare impact in an at-risk group of unvaccinated pregnant women with an unvaccinated group of non-pregnant woman of childbearing age (15-44 yr old). methods: we addressed this question ...

The direct F.A. Method has been used for diffe­rentiation of virulent and avirulent lines of influenza viruses. A positive fluorescence was obtained indi­cating the level of virus in the tissues, sorbing with dried mouse powder helped to reduce non-specific staining. The virulent line showed the greatest num­ber of fluorescent cells with the peak at 10 hours. the non-virulent lines showed a gra...

objective: the out-of-field/non-target effect is one of the most important phenomena of ionizing radiation that leads to molecular and cellular damage to distant non-irradiated tissues. the most important concern about this phenomenon is carcinogenesis many years after radiation treatment. in vivo mechanisms and consequences of this phenomenon are not known completely. therefore, this study aim...

background: blastocystis is one of the most common parasites, reported from both human and animals. this parasite is more prevalent in regions with low levels of hygiene, close contact with animal and unsuitable disposal systems. the aim of the study was to subtype blastocystis sp., isolated from diarrheic and non-diarrheic patients using sequencing of 18s ribosomal dna. methods: totally, 300 s...
