background programs to improve the pain and health status in illnesses with pain such as headache are still in their infancy. mindfulness-based stress reduction (mbsr) is a new psychotherapy that appears to be effective in treating chronic pain. objectives this study evaluated efficacy of mbsr in improving pain severity and mindful awareness in patients with tension headache. conclusions mbsr c...

conclusions bosworth screw and tension band wiring are both useful procedures in patients with acj dislocation, but each should be used in the selected patients with special indications. both methods had good results during follow-up period. there was not statistically meaningful difference in the articular stability, range of motion, oss score and vast score between the two groups (p > 0.05). ...

in this work, artificial neural network (ann) has been employed to propose a practical model forpredicting the surface tension of multi-component mixtures. in order to develop a reliable modelbased on the ann, a comprehensive experimental data set including 15 ternary liquid mixtures atdifferent temperatures was employed. these systems consist of 777 data points generally containinghydrocarbon ...

objective: young’s schema theory provides a theoretical basis that relates coping styles to early maladaptive schemas. this research aimed to identify maladaptive coping strategies including avoidance and over compensation strategies associated with migraine and tension headaches.  methods: the present research was of cross sectional and correlational study type. the measures included headache ...

the present investigation entails a procedure by which the surface tension and viscosity of liquids could be redicted.to this end, capillary experiments were performed for porous media by utilizing fifteen different liquids and powders. the time of capillary rise to a certain known height of each liquid in a particular powder was recorded. two artificial neural networks (anns) were designed and...

the purpose of this study is to survey cross section changes of the animal brain samples during the tension and compression tests and comparison of the experimental results for three animals: bovine, sheep, and rabbit. a linear elastic theory with considering the necking in tension and barreling in compression has been considered for brain tissue. bridgman method for tension and cross section u...

are compared with the experimental results. In these test results the shape memory alloys behavior as: super elasticity under various temperatures, loading rate effects, asymmetry in tension and pressure, various loops of loading and unloading, hydrostatic pressure effects, different proportional tension-shear biaxial loading and unloading, and also deviation from normality due to non-proportio...

objectives: there are some comorbidity between migraine, tension headaches, and some psychological  factors including early maladaptive schemas (emss). this research aimed to identify the emss  associated with migraine and tension headaches.  methods:  the present study was of cross sectional and correlational studies. the measures included  headache disability inventory and young early maladap...

conclusions potato peels were proved to be potentially useful substrates for biosurfactant production by b. pumilus dsvp18. the strain possessed a unique property to reduce surface tension of the media from 72 to 28.7 mn/m. in addition, it showed a stable surface activity over a wide range of temperatures, ph, and saline conditions and had strong antimicrobial activity. this potential of the id...
