background: initial studies have shown that low-energy ultrasound stimulates living tissue cells to reduce regeneration or speed up their recovery. the purpose of this study was to examine the effects of various ultrasound parameters on the speed of recovery in injured sciatic nerves. methods: nmri mice (n = 200) with injured left paw, caused by crushing their sciatic nerves, were randomly sele...

density functional theory (dft) calculations have been performed to investigating the effects of themolecular oxygen impurity on the quadrupole coupling constant (qcc) parameters of armchair and zigzagboron nitride nanotubes (bnnts). optimization processes have been performed to relax the original andimpure structures of the investigated bnnts. afterwards, the qcc parameters have been evaluated...

Using the ARGUS detector at the e+e storage ring DORIS II, we have measured the Michel parameters , , and for ! l  decays in -pair events produced at center of mass energies in the region of the resonances. Using ! as spin analyzing tags, we nd e = 0:68 0:04 0:08, e = 1:12 0:20 0:09, e = 0:57 0:14 0:07, = 0:69 0:06 0:08, = 1:25 0:27 0:14 and = 0:72 0:18 0:10. In addition, we report the combine...

In the presence of nuisance parameters, we derive an explicit higher order asymptotic formula to compare the expected lengths of conndence intervals given by likelihood ratio statistics arising from the usual proole likelihood and various adjustments thereof. Highest posterior density regions, with approximate frequentist validity, are also included in the study.

For hypotheses of the type H0 : θ = θ0 vs H1 : θ 6= θ0 we demonstrate the equivalence of a Bayesian hypothesis test using a Bayes factor and the corresponding classical test, for a large class of models, which are detailed in the paper. In particular, we show that the role of the prior and critical region for the Bayes factor test is only to specify the type I error. This is their only role sin...

abstract   background : although, different studies on end-to-side nerve repair, results are controversial. the importance of this method in case is unavailability of proximal nerve. in this method, donor nerves also remain intact and without injury. in compare to other classic procedures, end-to-side repair is not much time consuming and needs less dissection. overall, the previous studies in ...

Introduction: Nephropathy is defined as rational loss of renal function related with glomerulosclerosis and declining glomerular filtration rate. Inflammation and oxidative stress play a critical role in nephropathy. Plantago major has antioxidant effects. The aim of present study is the investigation of the effect of Plantago major hydro-alcoholic extract on the oxidative stress and renal func...
