Introduction: It is important that biological and health effects from the induction of currents and fields in the body by extremely low frequency (ELF) fields are fully explored to determine the effects produced at the molecular, cellular and organ levels. The objective of this study was to evaluate the intensity of ELF electromagnetic fields and its probable relationship with hematological cha...

morphophysiological variations of field bindweed populations in tehran province was studied during 2006 and 2007 growing seasons using multivariate analysis methods. to determine the variations, 43 morphological and physiological characters were considered biometrically.  the main characters at principal component analysis (pca) consisted of leaf dry weight, shoot dry weight, and leaf area to i...

PURPOSE To make a preliminary assessment of the perceptions of health professions students about interprofessional cooperation. METHOD Health professions students (588 students from eight professions) at the Iowa Geriatric Education Center's partner institutions received a questionnaire of demographics questions and the Interdisciplinary Education Perception Scale (IEPS). The IEPS is an 18-it...

BACKGROUND The thermal and electrical effects of pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) for pain relief can be controlled by modifying the characteristics of the RF pulses applied. Our goal was to evaluate the influence of such modifications on the thermal and electric performance in tissue. METHODS A computational model was developed to compare the temperature and electric field time courses in tissue ...

The colorectal session was one of the most successful and well attended sessions at the Fifth Worldwide Clinical Robotic Surgery Association Congress because of the increasing interest and diffusion of robotic techniques in this specific field. This session was structured as follows: two technical focuses, one on rectal resection and the other on right colectomies; a journal club with two hot t...

The fault injection techniques have been recognized for a long time as necessary to validate the dependability of a system by analysing the behaviour of the devices when a fault occurs. Reconfigurable hardware is appropriate to implement and test prototypes by synthesizing descriptions in high-level languages such as VHDL. Run-Time Reconfiguration (RTR) is a wellknown technique that reconfigure...

The Free and Cued Selective Reminding Test (FCSRT) is a verbal episodic memory test used to identify patients with mild Alzheimer's disease (AD). The present study investigates the relationships between performance on FCSRT and grey matter atrophy assessed with structural MRI in patients with AD. Three complementary MRI-based analyses (VBM analysis, ROI-based analysis, and three-dimensional hip...

Purpose Medical societies are incorporating Twitter to communicate with their members and connect with patients. This study compares the online presence of 3 major oncologic societies. Methods and materials All available tweets in 2014 by the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO), American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), and Society of Surgical Oncology (SSO) were collected. We...

We designed a coupled resonator structure and studied its transmission properties through the tightbinding approach and the transfer matrix method. Based on the coupling of resonant modes and the electro-optic effect, some comb-channels with two orthogonal polarizations can be obtained. The total number of channels is two times the number of resonators. The orthogonal polarization channels cann...
