General thermo-mechanical behavior of composites reinforced by shape memory alloy fibers is predicted using a three-dimensional analytical micromechanical method to consider the effect of fibers activation. Composite due to the micromechanical method can be exposed to general normal and shear mechanical and thermal loading which cause to activate the shape memory alloy fibers within polymeric m...

objective(s):global cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury causes loss of pyramidal cells in ca1 region of hippocampus. in this study, we investigated the possible neuroprotective effects of the ethanol extract of cyperus rotundus (eecr) on a model of global transient ischemia in rat, by evaluating the pathophysiology of the hippocampal tissue and spatial memory. materials and methods: treatment ...

objective: the spice zingiber officinale or ginger possesses antioxidant activity and neuroprotective effects. the effects of this traditional herbal medicine on 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (mdma) induced neurotoxicity have not yet been studied. the present study considers the effects of zingiber officinale on mdma-induced spatial memory impairment and apoptosis in the hippocampus of male...

two omega-3 fatty acids including docosahexaenoic acid (dha) and eicosapentaenoic acid (epa) are essential for the physiologic function of neuronal cell membrane. normal function of neuronal cell membrane requires appropriate composition of fatty in its structure. present study was designed to compare the effect of short-term and long-term pretreatment with omega-3 fatty acids on scopolamine-in...

the aim of the study was to find whether there is an association between subjective memory complaint and memory impairment and probable underlying psychological conditions. a total of 90 patients with subjective memory complaint enrolled in this study. short history and demographic information were obtained and then the patients underwent memory and mental health assessments, using wechsler mem...
