Two studies compared marital communication behaviors of violent and nonviolent couples. In Study 1, violent distressed (VD) men reported more husband demand-wife withdraw than did nonviolent men. Distressed men reported less mutual constructive communication and more mutual blame and avoidance than did nondistressed men. Interactions of VD, violent nondistressed (VND), nonviolent distressed (NV...

introduction: the risk of morbidity and mortality increases in neonates admitted to the neonatal intensive care units (nicus). various factors contribute to the prognosis of these newborns. in the current study, we aimed to investigate the role of mode of delivery on short-term neonatal outcomes. methods: this retrospective study was conducted on 215 neonates admitted to the nicu of shohada-e-t...

Objective: The objective of this meta-analysis was to establish the rates levator ani muscle (LAM) avulsion in patients after forceps delivery (FD) and vacuum (VD) as assessed by 3D/4D transperineal ultrasound. Methods: A systematic search performed MEDLINE, PubMed, Google Scholar, Embase databases up December 31, 2021. Studies that studied primiparous women diagnosed with LAM ultrasound VD or ...

background: statistics indicate that the rate of cesarean section increased in recent years. as complications of hospitalizations and surgery would affect the life quality, the current study was carried out to evaluate the life quality of mothers after normal vaginal delivery (nvd) and cesareane. methods: this is an anterograde analytic study of cohort type. to fulfill the study, a specialized ...

STUDY OBJECTIVES The interaction among pulmonary mechanics, respiratory muscle performance, and ventilatory control in subjects with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus has so far received little attention. We therefore decided to assess the role of central factors and peripheral factors on the ventilatory response to a hypoxic stimulus in type I diabetic patients. SUBJECTS Eight patients in ...

In May 2008, a 21-year-old single, non-obese, diabetic lady was referred to our clinic for routine eye examinations. The patient had been diagnosed with diabetes mellitus three months earlier and was receiving 100 milligrams of metformin daily and 80 milligrams of gliclazide twice daily orally, consistently maintaining her blood glucose levels between 72-90 mg/dl. She had a positive family hist...

STUDY OBJECTIVES The putative role of the performance of inspiratory muscles and breathing pattern in inducing dyspnea has been recently assessed during hypoxic stimulation in patients with type I diabetes (IDDM). Compared to a hypoxic stimulus, a hypercapnic stimulus, which may differently affect the pattern of breathing, could therefore modulate the coupling between respiratory effort and ven...

We provide quantitative measurements of night vision device (NVD) halos formed by light sources as a function of intensity and distance, describe a method to simulate their effects in the lab and present results from psychophysical experiments designed to analyze haloinduced errors in slope estimation. The effective halo generating potential of a point source is presumed to be a function of amb...
