introduction: this study was conducted to investigate the side effects of closed reduction method as a treatment modality of unilateral condylar fractures of the mandible in patients referred to shahid beheshti university hospital (babol, iran) over than one decade (2002 to 2012). materials and methods: to accomplish this study, patient’s data were collected referring to their files in shahid b...

conclusions as the results showed, the trend of activities was encouraging and some additional activities could be included to future programs relying on early-onset preventions. results summarizing the data led to three distinguished sections: 1) drug supply reduction activities; 2) drug demand reduction activities; 3) harm reduction activities. evidence acquisition in this report, authors gat...

we present a case of infantile intussusception treated successfully using hydrostatic reduction, highlighting the importance of non-surgical techniques as the first line of management for this entity. physicians should strive for mastery over such techniques by extensive training to prevent unwanted surgical procedures in such cases.

hiv/aids epidemic is concentrated among injecting drug users in iran. like many other countries with hiv/aids concentrated epidemic, prisons are high risk areas for spreading hiv/aids. the aim of this paper was to study the trend of hiv/aids prevalence and related interventions administered in prisons of iran during a 13 years period.this cross sectional study was conducted using the data colle...

introduction: one of the major problems in the development of nuclear medicine images is the presence of noise. the noise level in nuclear medicine images is usually reduced by the analysis of imaging data in a fourier transform environment. the main drawback of this environment belongs to low signal to noise ratio in high frequencies because removing noise frequencies may remove data and times...

the difficult to handle and store zinc borohydride, zn(bh4)2, is stabilized by supporting it on polyvinylpyridine. this new mild, efficient, selective, and regenerable polymer supported borohydride reducing agent reduces a variety organic compounds such as, aldehydes, a-b-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, acid chlorides, epoxides, disulfides, as well as reductive acetylation of carbonyl compounds...

background: humerus fractures include 5% to 8% of total fractures. non-:union: and delayed :union: of gt (gt) fractures is uncommon; however they present a challenge to the orthopedic surgeons. significant controversy surrounds optimal treatment of neglected fractures. the purpose of this article was to perform a comparative study to evaluate the outcomes of open reduction and internal fixation...

antenna structures with low side lobe levels are normally the main goal during antenna design. in this paper, a new method for reduction of radiation pattern side lobe level in phased array antenna with uniform and non-uniform weighting is presented. in this method, by changing the array elements weight or adding several elements, such as slc technique, the pattern with low side lobe level can ...

photocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide to formaldehyde was investigated on four semiconductor photocatalysts (fes, fes/fes2, nio and tio2). the reaction was carried out in continues flow of co2 gas bubbled into the reactor. semiconductor photocatalysts were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd) and diffuse reflectance spectroscopic (drs) methods. sulfide ion was used as hole scavenger. t...
