background : although many studies have been performed on occupational and industrial musculoskeletal disorders in iran, small scale industries have been less studied and evaluated. the purpose of this study was to perform an ergonomic assessment of handicraft workers in isfahan, iran, using the assessment of repetitive tasks (art) tool in 2015. methods: this descriptive-analytical and cross-se...

objective(s):  the role of the apoptosis repressor with caspase recruitment domain (arc) in apoptosis and in certain hypertrophic responses has been previously investigated, but its regulation of endothelin-1 induced cardiac hypertrophy remains unknown. the present study discusses the inhibitory role of arc against endothelin–induced hypertrophy. results:in present study endothelin treated card...

The present study was made to investigate the role of high doses aspartame used as sweeteners instant beverages (Tropicana Slim) for inducing gross malformations and histopathological lesions in liver white mice their embryos, furthermore embryos these mice. For this purpose (25) pregnant were which divided into five equal groups (one control four experimental groups). Aspartame given single da...

although rare, synovial sarcoma is the most common malignant non-rhabdomyosarcomatous soft tissue sarcoma in children and adolescents. synovial sarcoma typically involves the soft tissues of the extremities, especially near large joints, but it can occur anywhere in the body in locations far from joint spaces. although this tumor typically affects adults in their fourth decade of life, nearly h...

This study investigated the comparative effects of audio-visually prompted collaborative dialogue on the listening comprehension development of symmetrical, asymmetrical, and asymmetrical teacher-fronted EFL learner groups. Besides, it explored the attitude of the participants of the groups concerning the effectiveness of collaborative dialogue for their listening comprehension improvement. The...

Remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting edema (RS3PE) is a rare but well-reported clinical entity. It is classically described as symmetrical involvement of both upper extremities. Asymmetrical involvement had also been reported, but unilateral presentation is very rare. We hereby report a case of unilateral RS3PE in a patient of seronegative rheumatoid arthritis which was ini...

In this journal in 1958 Donald Teare reported the pathological findings in a series of eight unrelated young adults who died suddenly and who at necropsy had manifested gross asymmetrical hypertrophy of the heart.' In a footnote, he noted the recent sudden death of the brother of one of the original cases, thus identifying the familial nature of this condition. The subsequent report2 of two gen...

OBJECTIVE To explore the pattern of left ventricular hypertrophy caused by hypertension and to compare it with idiopathic hypertrophiccardiomyopathy. METHODS The retrospective study was conducted at the echocardiography lab of Rashid Hospital, Dubai, from January 2009 to January 2010. Cases of 11 patients with significant left ventricular hypertrophy (septum > 15 mm) due to underlying hyperte...

While hypertension is known to cause left ventricular and vascular hypertrophy, the relationship between alterations of vascular and cardiac structures in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy has not been fully clarified. We measured intima-media thickness of carotid arteries by ultrasonography in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (n = 16), normotensive subjects (n = 358), and hype...
