the mean noise levels were measured in the different sections of six representative mills in the isfahan area, and audiometric measurements were made in 282 male workers employed in these mills. the mean noise levels were on average 95 dba in the weaving sections and 88 d ba in the spinning sections. the audiometric findings showed a significant loss of gearing in the textile workers as compare...

background : fecal incontinence is defined as the involuntary loss of fecal material. fecal incontinence is a particularly embarrassing and distressing condition with significant medical, social and economic implications. the purpose of this article is to review the relevant the role of pelvic floor muscle dysfunction in fecal incontinence. materials and mthods : we performed a literature searc...

BACKGROUND Maxillary sinus floor augmentation procedures are currently the treatment of choice when the alveolar crest of the posterior maxilla is insufficient for dental implant anchorage. This procedure aims to obtain enough bone with biomaterial association with the autogenous bone graft to create volume and allow osteoconduction. The objective of this study was to histologically and histome...

We analyze a generalized Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) equation involving a paraboloidal trap potential in D space dimensions and generalized to a nonlinearity of order 2n+1. For attractive coupling constants collapse of the particle density occurs for Dn>/=2 and typically to a delta function centered at the origin of the trap. By introducing a special variable for the spherically symmetric solutions, ...

Braga street known as the old town historical area with colonial building style in Bandung. was an abandon poor environment and degradation a cause for concern. Many buildings unused most of this change its functions not expected that increase negative perception area. The effort have been made by Government concerned community organizations to restore existence area, accompaned legal cultural ...

Purpose To determine whether gross tumor volume of resectable gastric adenocarcinoma on multidetector computed tomography could predict presence of lymphovascular invasion and T-stages. Results Gross tumor volume increased with the lymphovascular invasion (r = 0.426, P < 0.0001) and T stage (r = 0.656, P < 0.0001). Univariate analysis showed gross tumor volume could predict lymphovascular inv...

OBJECTIVE To report two second-trimester ultrasound algorithms for trisomy 18 prediction. METHODS Femur length, gross anomaly, choroid plexus cysts, two-vessel cord, and maternal age were documented in pregnancies undergoing genetic amniocentesis. Stepwise logistic regression was used to identify 1) the significant markers for predicting trisomy 18 when gross anomaly was not considered (algor...
