abstract background: the uterus continues to contract after childbirth. the pain caused by the contractions of the uterus can be as severe as labor pain. the study was aimed to evaluate the effects of ice massage applied to the large intestine 4 (li4) on postpartum pain during the active phase of labor. materials and methods: the study was designed as a randomized controlled trial with three gr...

Electroacupuncture (EA) at P5-P6 acupoints overlying the median nerve reduces premotor sympathetic cardiovascular neuronal activity in the rostral ventral lateral medulla (rVLM) and visceral reflex pressor responses. In previous studies, we have noted different durations of influence of EA comparing P5-P6 and S36-S37 acupoints, suggesting that point specificity may exist. The purpose of this st...

به کمک شبیه ­سازی دینامیک مولکولی می ­توان تحلیل کوتاه مدت در مقیاس زمانی چند ده پیکوثانیه ­ای را برای مواد آسیب دیده­ی تابشی مورد مطالعه قرار داد. بر همین مبنا این ­سازی، تعداد تعادلی عیوب نقطه بین ­نشین و تهی ­جای مختصات مکانی آن­ها آهن- آلفا دست آورده شد. سپس با استفاده از نتایج حاصل شده، مونت کارلوی جنبشی شیء منظور بررسی تأثیر بازپخت آلفای انجام نشان دادند که یکنواخت دیده­ ی تنها خوشه جای ب...

A stretchable Li4 Ti5 O12 anode and a LiFePO4 cathode with 80% stretchability are prepared using a 3D interconnected porous polydimethylsiloxane sponge based on sugar cubes. 82% and 91% capacity retention for anode and cathode are achieved after 500 stretch-release cycles. Slight capacity decay of 6% in the battery using the electrode in stretched state is observed.

INTRODUCTION Complementary and alternative medicines have been used to decrease labor pain for many years. Despite reports that some of these methods reduce pain, increase maternal satisfaction, and improve other obstetric outcomes, they have received limited attention in the US medical literature. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of LI4 acupressure on labor pain in the fir...
