background:: hypercoagulability has been reported in primary brain tumors which can lead to thrombotic complications.hydroxyethyl starch (hetastarch) is a synthetic colloid solution with adverse effects on blood coagulation. the aim of this study was to evaluate the protective effect of hetastarch in reducing thromboembolic events in these patients. materials and methods: in a double-blinded cl...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of Comprehensive Hand Repetitive Intensive Strength Training (CHRIST) on upper limb function in children with cerebral palsy using motion analysis. METHOD The subjects in this study included 19 children (10 males, 9 females, mean age=8.8 years) with cerebral palsy. The experimental group (n=10) received CHRIST and general rehabilitation therapy. The control...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate, in a tube model, how the speed of a mucous simulant was influenced by angle and different types of oscillations. METHOD Using a repeated-measures study design, the primary outcome measure was the mucous simulant speed calculated from the time taken for the mucous simulant to travel a distance of 10 cm. Ultrasonic gel diluted to ...

Nighttime highway sign legibility distance was evaluated as drivers maintained speeds of 5 versus 60 MPH. Effective legibility distance fell by approximately 30% when driving at high speed (114.9 versus 81.2 m at 5 and 60 MPH, respectively; F(1,9) = 48.6, p < 0.001). This finding suggests that past research, usually conducted under static viewing conditions (i.e., less than 5 MPH), probably ove...

According with the purpose of this study, 15 professional male soccer players were recruited, and sprint Vmax 30 m measured in partials 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 100% intensity, using Global Positioning Systems devices (GPS). The protocol measurements was 2 days testing separated by a week. order randomized both subjects execution intensities. statistical analysis performed Student's T-test for paire...

More than 60% of accidents in Iran occur within 30 kilometers of cities entrance roads. Therefore the number of accidents per kilometer in these regions, in contrast to the other parts of roads is very considerable. The city of Tehran, as the capital of Iran, is the cross point of major arterials of passenger and freight transportation. Thus the evaluation of road safety, entering and exiting t...
