objective: cell vital function has correlation with mechanical loadings that cell experiences. here, effects of in-vitro combined cyclic-static stretch on proliferation of human mesenchymal stem cell (hmsc) were evaluated. materials and methods: hmscs were cultured on gelatin coated elastic membranes, and exposed to stretch loading. four different regimes of cyclic, static, combined cyclic-sta...

Daily energy restriction more effectively reduces body fat content than alternate-day fasting, with no evidence of fasting-specific health benefits.

fasting and diabetes has been on my radar from a local perspective for years. as a dietitian many of my patients chose to fast with the goal to promote better health. most recently, my perspective on fasting became global as working with the managing diabetes during ramadan initiatives.in april 2016, international diabetes federation (idf) and the diabetes and ramadan (dar) international allian...

the aim of this study was to assess public knowledge about the effects of ramadan fasting on various aspects of health and its association with fasting decision-making. this cross-sectional study was conducted on 600 subjects. the association between fasting and participants’ knowledge and attitudes toward ramadan fasting, anthropometric measurements, physical activity, depression, anxiety, str...

Fasting is known as a migraine trigger for migraine. We aimed to study the impact of fasting The Holy month Ramadan on episodic

Abstract Intermittent fasting blunts inflammation in asthma and rheumatoid arthritis, suggesting that may be exploited as an immune-modulatory intervention. However, mechanisms underpinning anti-inflammatory effects of remain poorly characterized. Here, we show humans is sufficient to blunt CD4+ T helper cell responsiveness. RNA-seq flow cytometric immunophenotyping peripheral blood mononuclear...

Finite affine groups are given by groups of translations and di- lations on finite cyclic groups. For cyclic groups of prime order we develop a time-scale (wavelet) analysis and show that for a large class of non-zero window signals/vectors, the generated full cyclic wavelet system constitutes a frame whose canonical dual is a cyclic wavelet frame.

experimental study of the cyclic behavior of unsaturated materials is more complex than that of the saturated materials due to the required equipment, experience and time. furthering investigations in the field of unsaturated materials is necessary to better understand its complexity and sensitivity of unsaturated cyclic parameters to different determinants such as suction path, stress path, lo...

the islamic fast during the month of ramadan is strictly observed worldwide by millions of muslims. ramadan is the 9th month of the islamic lunar calendar and fasting during ramadan is the religious duty of all healthy adult muslims. a whole month of intermittent fasting, from dawn to dusk, every year is particular only to islam and considering that islam has over 1.5 billion followers worldwid...
