to describe and compare the clinical outcome of infants born to mothers with gestational and pregestational diabetes mellitus, this study was conducted between january 2000 to january 2002 in tehran vali-e-- -asr hospital. among 4472 deliveries, we found 107 infants born to diabetic mothers out of whom 6 were twins. the prevalence of diabetes in total deliveries was 2.39%. mean age of gestation...

Introduction: Reverse osmosis (RO) is best known for its use in desalination (removing the salt from seawater to get fresh water), but since the early 1970s it has also been used to purify fresh water for medical, industrial, and domestic applications. The aim of this research was the performance study of reverse osmosis plants for water desalination in Bandar-Lengeh, Iran. Materials and Meth...

For many years the research community has attempted to model the Internet in order to better understand its behaviour and improve its performance. Since much of the structural complexity of the Inter*Work performed while Egemen K. Çetinkaya, Andrew M. Peck, and Justin P. Rohrer were at the University of Kansas. Egemen K. Çetinkaya Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Missouri Univ...

A bundant, well-accepted evidence demonstrates a complete tissue renin-angiotensin system (RAS) within the kidney that plays many roles in the control of the intrarenal vasculature, as well in the control of glomerular and tubular processes (1). Substantial clinical and experimental data suggest that the intrarenal RAS is important, if not central, to the development and progression of diabetic...

Human papillomavirus (HPV) E2 proteins regulate viral replication by binding to sites in the upstream regulatory region (URR) and by complex formation with the E1 origin recognition protein. In the genital HPV types, the distribution and location of four E2 binding sites (BS1 to BS4) which flank a single E1 binding site are highly conserved. We have examined the roles of these four E2 sites in ...

Background: For many diseases, specialized care (i.e., care rendered by a specialist) has been associated with superiorquality care (i.e., better outcomes). We examined associations between physician specialty and outcomes in a populationbased cohort of elderly ovarian cancer surgery patients. Methods: We analyzed the Medicare claims, by physician specialty, of all women aged 65 years or older ...

Sympatric speciation has been fascinating and controversial because the evolution of two distinct gene pools is hampered by sexual reproduction, which tends to homogenize genetic variation among individuals. However, there is not a simple mapping between the spatial pattern of sympatry (literally, being in the same place) and the processes of gene flow and recombination. As a consequence, inves...

We investigate whether the completeness of a complete orthonormal sequence for L2(IT, 77) is preserved if the sequence is perturbed by multiplying a portion of it by a fixed function. For the particular sequence i(277)-1/2emxi we show that given any xb £ L°°(-77, 77), except lb = 0 a.e., there is a nontrivial portion of Í (2rr)-^ einx\ which will maintain completeness under this perturbation. W...
