BACKGROUND Oral anticoagulant therapy is effective for the prevention of arterial thromboembolism in various patient groups. The increased risk of hemorrhage remains the major drawback to this therapy and is associated with the intensity of anticoagulation. Finding the optimal intensity at which the overall incidence rate of both bleeding and thromboembolic events is minimized represents a way ...

nanocomposite materials have recently attracted increasing interests in the field of modelling. finite element modelling can be used for computation of bulk properties of polymer/clay nanocomposites. in this study, by   considering the structure of a nano-composite material, a quasi real model is proposed. the model has been used to predict the elastic constants by selection of suitable element...

external and internal changes in fruits during storage time are affected by the various factors that some of them can by studied by measuring the qualitative parameters (physical and mechanical). the effects of storage time on some physical and mechanical properties of valencia orange were investigated. the experiment was performed as factorial based on completely randomized design. analysis of...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Appropriate use of sedatives and analgesics is essential to keep critically ill patients comfortable and to prevent prolonged mechanical ventilation time and length of stay in ICU. Aim of this study was to analyse the long-term effect of an algorithm-based individual analgesic-sedative protocol on mechanical ventilation time and ICU length of stay in critically ill patients ...

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a heterogeneous myocardial disease characterized by hypertrophy, mechanical and electrical activity obstacles. This study aimed to explore the relationship between YAP2 (Yes-associated protein 2) HCM clarify signaling path about pathogenesis of HCM. Our confirms that can promote cell hypertrophy at molecular level (myocardial lineage H9C2), organ (clinical s...

Evaluating the Effect of Injected Dose 99mTc- MIBI on Quantitative Parameters Myocardial Perfusion Imaging

introduction: although left ventricular(lv) function parameters measured by gated myocardial perfusion spect (gspect) have been validated, experimental data have revealed that the calculated the lv function parameters using gspect are affected by patient populations as well as particular acquisition and processing conditions. we tried to determine the normal values of gspect in an iranian popul...
