Background: Most research on autonomic dysfunction of diabetes mellitus is conducted on ganglions innervating gastrointestinal (GI) tract and there are limited works focusing on cervical sympathetic ganglia. The effects of diabetes mellitus (DM) on the neurons of superior cervical sympathetic ganglion (SCSG) are investigated by stereological methods. Material and Methods: Female rats (n=72) ran...

background : tea consumption has been known mostly as a well-drink after water in the world. tea drink can affect balance of fluids and renal function. in addition, it can cause loss of many viruses in the stomach and can increase or decrease gastrointestinal movements. this research was done to determine the effect of tea on increasing enteral feeding tolerance in icu patients in alzahra hospi...

the purpose of this study is numerical modeling of temperature variation of phases in a two phase regime in fluidized bed dryers including particles belonging to group d of geldart classification. the mass transfer between phases is not taken into consideration in this modeling which has been assumed in three- dimensional, unsteady, and two-phase regime.to verify the modeling we consider the do...

in this paper, an enhanced computational code was developed using finite-volume method for solving the incompressible natural convection flow within the cylindrical cavities. grids were generated by an easy method with a view to computer program providing. an explicit integration algorithm was applied to find the steady state condition. also instead of the conventional algorithms of simple, sim...

in this work, the steady and laminar mixed convection of nanofluid in horizontal concentric annulus withrotating inner cylinder is investigated numerically. the inner and outer cylinders are kept at constanttemperature ti and to respectively, where ti>to. the annular space is filled with alumina-water nanofluid.the governing equations with the corresponded boundary conditions in the polar coord...

background: stroke is the third leading cause of death. hypothermia has been recognized as an effective method in reducing brain injury. in this study, we assessed the effects of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (g-csf) as a neuroprotective agent and mild hypothermia on mortality, behavioral function, infarct volume, and brain edema in wistar rats. methods: forty male rats were used in fiv...
