What does the research say about androgen use and cerebrovascular events?
(2018)Many studies have investigated the benefits of androgen therapy and neurosteroids in aging men, while concerns remain about the potential associations of exogenous steroids and incidents of cerebrovascular events and ... -
What did Avicenna (Ibn Sina, 980-1037 A.D.) look like?
(2013)We present a reconstruction of Avicenna's face from the only photograph of his skull available today. The photograph is more than 50 years old, and was obtained during the exhumation of Avicenna's tomb in Hamadan for ... -
Web-based simulation of plasma drug concentration: An educational tool for clinical pharmacokinetics
(2010)The aim of present study was to develop an interactive web-based tool to teach medical students in clinical pharmacokinetics. The program was written in csharp (c#) language and its functionality was tested on Microsoft ... -
Web-based physical activity interventions: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
(2017)Objectives It was estimated that approximately 60% of the world's population is classified as inactive or insufficiently active. This meta-analysis investigated the effect of web-based interventions on different types of ... -
Wavefront-guided versus cross-cylinder photorefractive keratectomy in moderate-to-high astigmatism: A cohort of two consecutive clinical trials
(2012)Background: Although there have been many studies of the efficacy and safety of wavefront- guided (WF) and cross-cylinder photorefractive keratectomy (PRK), there are few studies on moderate-to-high astigmatism cases. The ... -
Weaning from ventilator and effect of Blender-Humidifier on outcome
(2014)Introduction The weaning procedure of mechanical ventilation in many patients is a difficult and long process and increases the time of mechanical ventilation. There are numerous ways to achieve this goal. One common way ... -
