Background Celiac disease (CD) is a systemic autoimmune disorder due to immune response triggered by ingestion of gluten in the diet. Treatment with lifelong gluten-free diet may impact negatively on the health-related quality of life and may lead to psychological disturbances. The purpose of study was to evaluate quality of life, depression and anxiety in children with celiac disease. Material...

In the present study, cadmium (Cd) accumulation capabilities of aquatic macrophytes Ceratophyllum demersum, Bacopa monnieri and Rotala rotundifolia were determined after treating both individual and triple macrophytes. The macrophytes were treated with Cd at 0, 0.1, 1 and 10 mg/L concentrations in a controlled chamber for 12-days. Cadmium accumulations increased with increasing Cd concentration...

The K-shell X-ray absorpt ion spectrum of a Cd s i n g l e c r y s t a l has been measured a t temperatures from 4 t o 300K with the c rys t21 i n two or ien ta t ions one optimizing EXAFS from the f i r s t Cd d i s tance (R1 = 2.97A), t h e o t h e r optimizing EXAFS from the second Cd dis tance (R2 = 3.291). Clear evidence is obtained f o r R2 although i ts v i s i b i l i t y var ies g r e ...

To assess the diagnostic efficacy of diffusion-weighted MR imaging (DWI) for evaluating inflammatory activity in patients with Crohn's disease (CD). A total of 47 CD patients underwent MR enterography (MRE) and DWI using 3 b values of 50, 400, and 800 s/mm. Apparent diffusion coefficients (ADCs) of inflamed and normal bowel wall were calculated. The conventional MRE findings and DWI signal inte...

A number of methods have been proposed to automate air traffic conflict detection and resolution (CD&R), but there has been little cohesive discussion or comparative evaluation of approaches. This paper presents a survey of 68 recent CD&R modeling methods, several of which are currently in use or under operational evaluation. A framework that articulates the basic functions of CD&R is used to c...

The following result was proved by Bárány in 1982: For every d ≥ 1 there exists cd > 0 such that for every n-point set S in R d there is a point p ∈ R contained in at least cdn d+1 −O(n) of the d-dimensional simplices spanned by S. We investigate the largest possible value of cd. It was known that cd ≤ 1/(2(d+ 1)!) (this estimate actually holds for every point set S). We construct sets showing ...

Forty-eight male subjects who met the DSM-IV (APA, 1994) criteria for conduct disorder (CD) were assessed for psychopathy level using a modified version of the Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R, Forth, Hart, & Hare, 1990). Rorschach variables associated with self-perception, affects, and object relations, early behavioral problems and history of violence were compared between psychopathic an...

During the copy-editing of your paper, the following queries arose. Please respond to these by marking up your proofs with the necessary changes/additions. Please write your answers on the query sheet if there is insufficient space on the page proofs. If returning the proof by fax do not write too close to the paper’s edge. Please remember that illegible mark-ups may delay publication. Many tha...

heavy metal accumulation in the aquatic ecosystems is a main concern which threats human health. in this study two commercial fish species, rutilus kutum and chelon aurata were selected for assessing heavy metal (cd, pb, zn) concentrations in gill and liver tissues at babolsar’s coast, the southern caspian sea, iran. babolsar is one of the important fishery stations in the southern caspian sea....
