Determination of overall factor of safety of a design involves repeated calculation of factor of safety at critical points in the design. For a given stress state at a point, factor of safety is calculated by rst nding the principal stresses and then comparing them with the maximum safe stress that can applied without causing failure of the material according to an appropriate failure theory. I...

We present a 34-year-old man with combination of beta thalassemia intermedia and coagulation factor VII deficiency who was presented with pallor and irregular nose bleeding episodes. On physical examination, he had splenomegaly and yellow sclera. Pallor and splenomegaly could be reminder of thalassemic syndromes or hemoglobinopathies including thalassemia intermedia. Association with unusual bl...

Failure of gasping to bring about autoresuscitation from hypoxia-induced apnea has been suggested to play a role in sudden unexpected infant death. Little is known, however, about factors that influence the ability of gasping to restore life during severe hypoxia in newborns. Given that adenosine modulates cardiac function during hypoxia-induced apnea and that cardiac dysfunction plays a role i...

Hypertension is epidemic disease which post-exercise hypotension (PEH) is useful strategies for hypertension. The aim of present study was to investigate the effects of resistance exercise leading to failure (REF) and resistance exercise not to failure (NREF) on PEH phenomenon in trained men. Eight trained men (age: 22.12±1.81 yr; height: 179±3.44 cm; weight: 73.82±4.29 kg;...

BACKGROUND A stable assessment of cognition is of paramount importance for forensic psychiatric patients (FPP). The purpose of this study was to compare repeated measures of IQ scores in FPPs with and without intellectual disability. METHODS Repeated measurements of IQ scores in FPPs (n = 176) were collected. Differences between tests were computed, and each IQ score was categorized. Addition...
