purpose: to evaluate the ability to predict visual outcome after penetrating keratoplasty (pkp) in patients with pseudophakic or aphakic corneal edema (pce or ace). methods: medical records of 34 patients (34 eyes) who underwent pkp for pce or ace during 1994-2004 in ahvaz were retrospectively analyzed for variables in the history and ocular examination before pkp and visual outcome after pkp. ...

the aims of this study were to determine some major biochemical alterations observed in first calving cows with udder edema during the periparturient period and to detect some associations between dietary factors and the disease. for that, the concentrations of some electrolytes (na+, k+, cl, ca2+, p and mg2+), lipid (triglycerides and cholesterol) markers and lipoproteins (hdl, ldl and vldl) a...

in this paper by using the notiαon of anti fuzzy points and its besideness to andnon-quasi-coincidence with a fuzzy set the concepts of an anti fuzzy subalgebrasin bm-algebras are generalized and their inter-relations and related propertiesare investigated.

Background: Lead (Pb) is a heavy metal that has devastating effects on many animal tissues. In this study we investigated the effects of orally-dosed lead acetate II on osteocalcin gene (osteocalcin) expression in mesenchymal stem cells grown in an osteogenic medium. Osteocalcin is an abundant bone matrix differentiation protein. Methods: Twelve male Wistar rats were divided into three groups ...

introduction: multiple sclerosis (ms) has been recognized as a common neurodegenerative disease that occurs after an auto reactive t cells against myelin antigens.  demyelination and inflammation are the main features of this disease. the anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective roles of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (bm-mscs) have been considered as a suitable treatment against autoi...

We are grateful to Peter Thompson for pointing out an error in [1, Lemma 3.5, p. 1848]. The original proof worked only under the assumption that θ ̂ $\hat{\theta }$ is a vector of constants. However, some components $\hat{\bm{\theta }}$ could be states dynamic consideration, and lemma was used such setup (i.e., with involving states) later Proposition 3.4]. give more explicit version statement p...

In the first part, we prove that the number of (1, β)-BM relations is 3 ·5 · . . . · (2β+1), which was conjectured by Jason Kimberley. In the second part, we construct two isomorphisms between certain (2, 2)-BM groups. This completes the classification of (2, 2)-BM groups initiated in [4].
