We present a comprehensive study of the effects of third-order dispersion (TOD) on dispersion-managed (DM) solitons. The two main effects of TOD are creation of asymmetry of the DM soliton’s profile and generation of continuum radiation. Considering these two effects, we derive a conservative bound on the magnitude of TOD below which it will not have a significant detrimental effect on DM solit...

It is known that cardiovascular complications plays important roles in the development of diabetes mellitus (DM) and platelet dysfunction is one of the key reasons which led to microangiopathy. This study was designed to investigate the mitochondria function changes of platelet in DM rats and DM patients. The results showed that the platelets viability, platelet adenosine triphosphate (ATP) con...

Background: A number of former studies have shown that tuberculosis (TB) is higher in diabetes mellitus (DM) patients than non-diabetics. Both DM and TB are major public health problems in Iran, and because of the lack of investigation in this field in the region, we conducted this study to evaluate the prevalence of DM in admitted pulmonary tuberculosis patients. Methods: The medical files of...
