background: pain originating from intramuscular (im) injection should not be underestimated, because it can damage the nurse–patient relationship. this research aimed at answering two main questions, whether acupressure is effective on pain severity dueto im injection or not and whether pain severity in two groups is different or not. materials and methods: this research was performed in govern...

this study determined the clinical effect of subconjunctival administration of bevacizumab in patients with primary and recurrent pterygium. the study was an off-label, single-dosing, interventional case series involving 22 patients with primary and recurrent pterygium. they received subconjunctival bevacizumab (0.2cc). pterygium vascularity and thickness was graded. the size of the pterygium (...

The VIRGO injection system, designed to provide a stable single-frequency 20 W laser to the VIRGO interferometer, is under commissioning. All functions have been demonstrated to work close to requirements, and the integration of all of them is in progress.

Interferons (IFNs) are now in use worldwide for the treatment of chronic viral hepatitis. Unfortunately, various side effects of IFNs have been reported. Because cytokines, which include IFNs, can affect endocrine function, endocrinological abnormalities are sometimes observed in patients treated with IFNs. We examined the effects of IFN-beta on peripheral levels of pituitary and adrenal hormon...

conclusions our results have shown that indirect mr arthrography had greater diagnostic accuracy in regards to the sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values than conventional mri in knee pathologies. results in all of the pathologies studied, the sensitivity, specificity, and the positive and negative predictive values were evaluated. a high rate of accuracy was foun...

between these pathways. To do so we need to observe the activity of the direct and indirect pathway spiny projection neurons in “behaving” animal models (1). However, it is difficult to distinguish direct and indirect spiny projection neuron firing using electrophysiological recordings and antidromic stimulation is unreliable and difficult due to “cross talk” between axons of both pathways (1)....

Abstract Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) are among the best-motivated dark matter candidates. In standard scenario where freeze-out happens well after end of inflationary reheating, they in tension with severe experimental constraints. Here, we investigate thermal WIMPs occurring during while inflaton ϕ coherently oscillates a generic potential ∝ n . Depending on value and spin dec...

A theoretical link between reasoning and mathematical ability has been supported by some recent empirical evidence. We argue that some of this evidence is indirect and measure selection may have influenced this relationship. We report one study in which mathematical ability was measured using a fluency and a calculation measure (Wood-cock Johnson-III, 2001) and reasoning ability was measured us...
