The birth weight of a newborn is a significant determinant of neonatal and postnatal infant mortality. Maternal weight gain during pregnancy is one of the significant factors that influences on birth weight. Our purpose of this study is that to determine the effect of maternal eight gain on neonatal birth weight. This descriptive study is done on women who delivered in Mahdieh Hospital since M...

BACKGROUND Microdeletions of the Y chromosome are one of the most frequent genetic causes of spermatogenic failure in infertile men. But their role in gaining weight is unclear. The present study investigated the possible association of these partial microdeletions and obesity. METHODS In a case-control study, 180 males were selected. The prevalence of microdeletions was assessed using PCR in...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of anemia on perinatal outcomes as preterm delivery (PTD) and low birth weight (LBW) in the different stages of pregnancy. METHODS Medical records of 39,587 Turkish pregnant women who delivered between January 2011 and September 2014 were reviewed. Anemia during pregnancy was defined as hemoglobin (Hb)< 11 g/dl, low birth weight was defined as birth weight ...

We present Group Ratio Round-Robin (GR), the first proportional share scheduler that combines accurate proportional fairness scheduling behavior with O(1) scheduling overhead on both uniprocessor and multiprocessor systems. GR uses a simple grouping strategy to organize clients into groups of similar processor allocations which can be more easily scheduled. Using this strategy, GR combines the ...

We have recently demonstrated that gastrin stimulates growth of mouse colon cancer (MC-26) in vivo by regulation of gastrin receptors (GR). In the present study, we have tested the effect of proglumide (PGL), a GR antagonist, on the trophic and GR-regulatory effects of gastrin on MC-26 tumors. Four groups of 12 mice each were inoculated with 5 X 10(4) MC-26 cells and given injections of either ...

In this paper, bounds are derived on the minimum homogeneous distance of the image of a linear block code over the Galois ring GR(p, m), with respect to any basis of GR(p, m). These bounds depend on the parameters of GR(p, m), the minimum Hamming distance of the block code, and the average value of the homogeneous weight applied on the base ring Zpr . Examples are given of Galois ring codes tha...

Introduction: Assessment of fetal weight is a vital factor in antenatal care, not only in the management of labor and delivery but also in identifying fetal weight disorders. Objective: This study compares the accuracy of clinical methods and ultrasonography in Estimating Fetal Weight (EFW) with Actual Birth Weight (ABW) in term pregnant women. Materials and Methods: This diagnostic test eval...

BACKGROUND Advancements in medical care for peptic ulcer disease (PUD) have reduced the need for invasive surgical procedures such as gastric resection (GR). Community-based PUD studies from a large sampling of PUD patients designed to analyze hospital resource use and outcomes after different surgical procedures have been rare. We aimed to exhaustively reappraise the risk factors and patient d...

Seeds of bean (Phaseolus vulgaris cv. Vernel) were collected throughout their development on the plant and dried at 15 degrees C and 75% relative humidity to a final moisture content of about 16% (fresh weight basis) to determine whether the onset of tolerance to this drying condition was related to changes in soluble sugars or the activities of the main antioxidant enzymes, namely superoxide d...
