abstract         background and objective: scientific evidence reveals that the density of skeletal muscle microcirculations decreases in the patients with chronic heart failure. therefore, this study aimed to determine the impact of submaximal aerobic exercise training on restoration of fast/slow-twitch muscle fibers microcirculation in rats with myocardial infarction.          methods: in thi...

We present a new approach for modelling musculoskeletal anatomy. Unlike previous methods, we do not model individual muscle shapes as geometric primitives (polygonal meshes, NURBS etc.). Instead, adopt volumetric segmentation where every point in our volume is assigned to muscle, fat, or bone tissue. provide an interactive tool the user controls via curves and visualize using rendering. Muscle ...

current research attempted to compare the effect of 10-day oral supplementation with saffron and indomethacin in the prevention of delayed onset muscle soreness (doms). thirty-nine healthy and inactive male students divided into three groups: saffron (300 mg), indomethacin (75 mg), and control groups. muscle soreness protocol performed with 80% of 1rm in four sessions and each session had 20 re...

determination of metal levels in muscle, liver and gill of common carp ( cyprinus carpio ) species caught from shirinsu wetland was done using icp-oes. the mean level of cu, pb and zn in muscle, liver and gill of fish were 0.01±0.002, 0.015±0.003, 0.007±0.001; 0.13±0.005, 0.006±0.001, 0.62±0.11 and 0.26±0.008, 0.009±0.002, 0.53±0.10 μg g −1 , respectively. metal levels in muscle were generally ...

increased metabolic activity in muscle secondary to excessive muscle activity during the uptake phase and shortly before fdg injection is a known phenomenon. we present fdg pet/ct findings in a young male, known case of carcinoma maxilla his scan showed diffuse increased metabolic activity in multiple skeletal muscle groups. there was history of unaccustomed, strenuous sports activity of skiing...

Crocin, a component of saffron, showed hypotensive which is perhaps due to vascular smooth muscle relaxant effect. The relaxant effects of saffron on tracheal smooth muscle also could be due to its constituent, crocin. In the present study, the relaxant effects of crocin and its possible mechanisms on rat tracheal smooth muscle were investigated. The relaxant effects of three cumulative concent...

the aim of this study was to determine and compare the concentration of copper (cu) in liver and muscle of two fish species squalius cephalus and capoeta capoeta gracilis. the fish were caught in four sampling sites along tajan river, mazandaran province, northern iran. the concentration of cu was determined using flame atomic absorption spectrometry. there were significant differences (p

although uncommon, traumatic optic neuropathy (ton) is an important cause of visual loss. different therapeutic approaches including different dosages of steroids, surgical decompression of optic canal and observation alone have been suggested but there has been no conclusive evidence to establish a standard approach to this devastating cause of visual loss. to determine the effectiveness of in...

spasticity is one of the common complications in upper motor neuron lesions and without appropriate treatment it causes disturbances in movement pattern. assessments of patients are effective in patient`s management. modified ashworth scale (mas) is one of the criteria in qualitative assessment of spasticity, and there are lots of controversies about its validity. the purpose of this study is t...

cobitis keyvani is recently described from the sourhern caspian sea basin. limited information is available about morphological features of c. keyvani , therefore this study was conducted to provide osteological characteristics and cranial myology of this species. for this purpose, nine specimens of c. keyvani were collected from the talar river. the specimens were cleared and stained with aliz...
