background: mammographic density has been recognized as a risk factor for breast cancer,  but  the  association between  potential  effective factors and  mammographic density has not been fully studied in asian women. we conducted a study to investigate the association of mammographic breast   density with several menstrual and reproductive characteristics. m ethods: screening  mammography  wa...

conclusions these findings suggest that lean mass was the most important predictor of bmd in both genders. physical activity appears to positively impact on lean mass and needs to be considered in physical education and health-enhancing programs in iranian school children. background body weight is made up of lean and fat mass and both are involved in growth and development. impression of these...

Background & objectives: Work-related illnesses account for a large number of social problems. According to occupational therapists, occupational diseases are considered as life-threatening factors for workers. The aim of this study was to measure air pollution to suspended particles and to assess the health risk of PM2.5 and PM10 exposure in the textile industry. Methods: This analytical-cros...

Background: Celiac disease (CD), as an autoimmune disease has initiated since ingestion of food containing gluten. Constant intolerance to gluten causes damages of the small intestinal mucosa. One reason of mal-absorption in children and infants is CD. Additionally, about 75% of newly identified patients with CD have low bone mineral density (BMD). Many factors have role in metabolic bone disea...

Recall that Ew is the lattice of Muchnik degrees of nonempty effectively compact sets in Euclidean space. We solve a long-standing open problem by proving that Ew is dense, i.e., satis…es 8x8y (x < y ) 9z (x < z < y)). Our proof combines an oracle construction with hyperarithmetical theory.

Bulk Ni-W alloys having composite-like microstructures are processed by spark plasma sintering (SPS) route of Ni and W powder blends as reported in a recent study of Sadat et al. (2016) (DOI of original article: doi:10.1016/j.matdes.2015.10.083) [1]. The present dataset deals with determination of mass density and evaluation of room temperature compressive mechanical properties as function of t...

This study was undertaken to assess the frequency of decreased bone mineral density and its risk factors as well as its impact on the quality of life during childhood among hemophiliac patients. Materials and Methods: Thirty seven children with severe hemophilia A and B, referred to Mofid Children’s Hospital during 2010, were selected. For all patients the joint score, body mass indexes, bone...
