Yaaqoub, Enas M. Yaseen, Ruqiya S. TawfeekProblem statement: To compare the effects of both abdominal and laparoscopic diathermy (PCOS) on the ovulatory process. Design: Prospective study. Setting: Tikrit Teaching Hospital, Iraq. Approach: A total of 40 infertile patients, these patients were divided into two groups, each group of 20 patients. The first group was undergoing abdominal diathermy; while the second group undergoing laparoscopic diathermy. The ovulatory … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,133 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInterface Micromotion of Cementless Hip Stems in Simulated Hip ArthroplastyMohammed Rafiq Abdul Kadir, Nazri KamsahProblem statement: The design of hip prostheses has evolved over time due to various complications found after hip replacement surgery. The currently commercially available cementless femoral stems can be categorized into one of three major types, straight cylindrical, tapered rectangular and anatomical. Each type proposes a unique concept to achieve primary stability-a major requirement for bone healing process. Virtual analyses … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,321 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Adding Dexmedetomidine versus Fentanyl to Intrathecal Bupivacaine on Spinal Block Characteristics in Gynecological Procedures: A Double Blind Controlled StudySubhi M. Al-Ghanem, Islam M. Massad, Mahmoud M. Al-Mustafa et al.Problem statement: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the onset and duration of sensory and motor block as well as operative analgesia and adverse effects of Dex Metedo Midine (DXM) or fentanyl given intrathecally with plain 0.5% bupivacaine for spinal anesthesia. Approach: seventy six patients classified as American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) status I, II and III scheduled … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2009 · 14,172 accessesView PDFCite

It sounds to have different pattern and characteristics. The aim of the current study was to determine the characteristics and outcome of PTM in referral neurosurgery department in Iran. Approach: During 5 years period-2003-2008, all records from meningitis patients in neurosurgery department in the unique referral trauma center in … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,857 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMultiple Pulmonary and Multivesicular Interatrial Septum Hydatid Cysts in A Native Italian PatientA. Romano, S. Giordano, F. Follis et al.Multivesicular, pulmonary and cardiac hydatidosis are rarely observed and can give rise to serious complications. Cysts can remain asymptomatic for a long time, until they reveal themselves perforating into cardiac chambers and/or pulmonary arteries or the systemic circulation. A rare case of multivesicular interatrial septum hydatid cyst with multiple pulmonary involvement in a native Italian farm labourer is reported. Clinical, … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 6,896 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMutations in Tumor suppressor TP53 Gene in Formalin- Fixed, Paraffin Embedded Tissues of Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) of Lung CancerAbbas Mohammadi, Ali Vaziri Gohar, Mohamad Reza ShakibaieThe TP53 gene mutations have been extensively studied in lung cancer and have been used as a means to understand the origin(s) and mechanisms of these mutations in lung cancer development. TP53 gene mutations occur frequently in many human cancers. Analysis of TP53 gene mutations can also provide clues to the etiology of tumor formation. Formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissues … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,000 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFabrication of a Capacitance-Based Tactile Sensor with Biomedical ApplicationsAli Tavakoli Golpaygani, Siamak Najarian, M. Mehdi Movahedi, Goldis Darb EmamiehThe design, modeling, and testing of a flexible tactile sensor and its applications are presented. This sensor is made of polymer materials and can detect the 2D surface texture image and contact-force estimation. The sensing mechanism is based on the novel contact deflection effect of a membrane. We measure the amount of membrane deflection with measuring the change of capacitance … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2008 · 7,388 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental and Theoretical Analysis of a Novel Flexible Membrane Tactile SensorGoldis Darb Emamieh, Ahmad Ameri, Siamak Najarian, Ali Tavakoli GolpayganiIn this study, we report the development of a new multi tactile sensor, capable of detecting 2D surface texture image, measuring contact-force, and identifying the difference between stiffness of sensed objects. The designed tactile sensor consists of a chamber and a membrane with a mesa structure. The detecting principle is a combination of membrane deflection and piezoresistance effects. A major … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2008 · 7,184 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign and Modeling of a New Tactile Sensor Based on Membrane DeflectionAli Tavakoli Golpaygani, Siamak Najarian, Goldis Darb EmamiehThe designed sensor can detect 2D surface texture image, contact-force, and softness of the sensed object. It consists of a chamber for pneumatic actuation and a membrane with a mesa structure. The sensing mechanism is the contact deformation effect of a membrane. Determination of the contact force and softness of sensed object is based on the amount and variations of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2007 · 6,786 accessesView PDFCite
