OBJECTIVE We performed this study to investigate the effect of blood pressure control in ultra-early basal ganglia intracerebral hemorrhage. PATIENTS AND METHODS 120 patients with ultra-early basal ganglia intracerebral hemorrhage were randomly divided into experimental group (strengthened antihypertensive) and control (normal antihypertensive). Each group consists of 60 patients, whose contr...

purpose the aims of the present study were to investigate (i) the changes in participation and performance and (ii) the gender difference in triple iron ultra-triathlon (11.4 km swimming, 540 km cycling and 126.6 km running) across years from 1988 to 2011. methods for the cross-sectional data analysis, the association between with overall race times and split times was investigated using simple...

background: the possible role of cochlear function in tinnitus generation is still a matter of debate. to assess the role of outer hair cell dysfunction in tinnitus and its possible relationship with ultra-high frequency (uhf) hearing sensitivity, transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (teoae) and uhf hearing thresholds were investigated in normal hearing individuals with and without tinnitus. ...

regarding many disadvantages of traditional method to produce concentrated yoghurt, several attempts have been done for mechanization of process in industrial scale. using membrane systems especially ultra filtration is one of these methods. in this survey, method to produce direct concentrated yoghurt, fresh milk was concentrated to 19% snf by ultra filtration method then diluted to 13 and 16 ...

objective: to compare the outcome of patients with up to 60% total body surface area (tbsa) thermal burns undergoing ultra-early and early excision and grafting. methods: this historical cohort study was performed in two referral burn centers of shiraz during a 1-year period from 2015 to 2016. we included those patients with thermal burns up to 60% tbsa who underwent ultra-early (48-72 hours) a...

the ultra-nanocrystalline diamond (uncd) was synthesized by the detonation of a high explosive mixture in water confinement. the presence of a diamond phase was revealed by x-ray diffraction (xrd) and transmission electron microscopy (tem). x-ray line broadening (xrlb) was used to evaluate the peak profiles of diamond nanoparticles and their corresponding average crystallite sizes. the micro st...

BACKGROUND The use of left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) has gained significant importance for treatment of end-stage heart failure. Fast-track procedures are well established in cardiac surgery, whereas knowledge of their benefits after LVAD implantation is sparse. We hypothesized that ultra-fast-track anesthesia (UFTA) with in-theater extubation or at a maximum of 4 h. after surgery is f...

in this paper, vector ultrametric spaces are introduced and a fixed point theorem is given forcorrespondences. our main result generalizes a known theorem in ordinary ultrametric spaces.

background the treatment of onychomycosis is a challenge and infections are typically more severe and difficult to treat in toenails than in fingernails. objectives the current study aimed to investigate the fungicidal effect of ultraviolet radiation on the growth of dermatophytes isolated from nails. patients and methods samples from patients with clinical manifestations of onychomycosis were ...
