attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder is one of the most common mental disorders in childhood, and it continues to adulthood without proper treatment. stimulants have been used in the treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (adhd) for many years, and the efficacy of methylphenidate in the treatment of adults with adhd has been proven to be acceptable according to meta-analysis ...

background to evaluate the effectiveness of acupuncture and compare it with fluoxetine in treatment of fibromyalgia syndrome (fms). methods we conducted a prospective, randomized clinical trial. fifteen patients were treated with acupuncture and compared with a control group (n=15) of patients who received fluoxetine. visual analogue scale, fibromyalgia impact questionnaire (fiq) and determined...

When faced with unpredictable environments, the human motor system has been shown to develop optimized adaptation strategies that allow for online adaptation during the control process. Such online adaptation is to be contrasted to slower over-trial learning that corresponds to a trial-by-trial update of the movement plan. Here we investigate the interplay of both processes, i.e., online adapta...

background: childhood obesity is becoming a global problem and its incidence is increasing. the role of dietary intervention with fruits containing vitamin c and flavonoid to control obesity consequences in childhood has not been yet defined. lemon (citrus aurantifolia) peels contain flavonoid, pectin and vitamin c. we aimed to compare the effects of lemon peels and placebo on cardiometabolic r...

despite the role of oral corticosteroids in management of sever asthma, use of these drugs needs careful awareness of its many side effects. there are controversies about the role of methotrexate in lowering the need for corticosteroides in these patients. in this study an attempt has been made to determine methotrexate effects in corticosteroid dependent asthma. six patients were entered in a ...

The subspace Hamiltonian technique, introduced several years ago, has proved convenient for determining bound states and resonances associated with surfaces and defects. Here we discuss the extension of this technique to other problems, including total-energy calculations and real-time computer simulations. %e prove several theorems and report numerical calculations that help to explain the use...

Many problems in mathematics and science require the use of infinite-dimensional spaces. Consequently, there is need for an analogue of the finite-dimensional notions of ‘Lebesgue almost every’ and ‘Lebesgue measure zero’ in the infinite-dimensional setting. The theory of prevalence addresses this need and provides a powerful framework for describing generic behavior in a probabilistic way. We ...
