objective: for decades, exercise has been considered as a cornerstone for managing diabetes. the current study aimed to determine the effects of short-term exercise on blood glucose, lipids and hba1c in type-2 diabetes mellitus. materials and methods: a total of 61 diabetic patients were randomly selected. later, subjects with capability of doing exercise took part in a special four-week exerci...

The present study was designed to evaluate kinematic response of sperm cell to low-density lipoproteins (LDL) in fresh diluted, short-term (4°C) or long-term (-196°C) stored semen. Four healthy bucks of similar age and weight were selected as semen donor. The semen was collected twice a week using artificial vagina. The semen after initial evaluation was pooled and divided into three aliquots, ...

Working memory is considered a well-established predictor of individual variation in reading comprehension in children and adults. However, how storage and processing capacities of working memory in both the phonological and semantic domain relate to reading comprehension is still unclear. In the current study, we investigated the contribution of phonological and semantic storage, and phonologi...

A review of the history of working memory (WM) studies finds that the concept of WM evolved from short-term memory to a multi-component system. Comparison between contemporary WM models reveals: (1) consensus that the content of WM includes not only task-relevant information, but also task-irrelevant information; (2) consensus that WM consists of phonological and visuospatial components; (3) co...

background: patellar mal tracking is responsible for pain and disability in patellofemoral pain syndrome (pfps). patellar kinesio taping may have different effects on short and long term usage. the aim of this study is to compare the effect of short term and long term patellar kinesio taping in patellar position on women with patellofemoral pain syndrome using magnetic resonance imaging (mri). ...

objective: administration of amoxicillin and metronidazole along with scaling and root planning (srp) is an effective adjunctive therapy for chronic periodontitis. studies have shown that administration of azithromycin is also effective for treatment of chronic periodontitis. this study aimed to compare the effect of short-term and long-term azithromycin regimen with amoxicillin and metronidazo...

The capacity to briefly memorize fleeting sensory information supports visual search and behavioral interactions with relevant stimuli in the environment. Traditionally, studies investigating the neural basis of visual short term memory (STM) have focused on the role of prefrontal cortex (PFC) in exerting executive control over what information is stored and how it is adaptively used to guide b...
