Effect of perineal massage on the rate of episiotomy and perineal tearing
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2015)
Objective: To examine the effects of perineal massage during active labor on the frequency of episiotomy and perineal tearing. Methods: A randomized controlled study was conducted at a center in Sivas, Turkey, between ...
The effect of Momordica charantia intake on the estrogen receptors ESR alpha/ESR beta gene levels and apoptosis on uterine tissue in ovariectomy rats
(SPRINGER, 2015)
Estrogen or combinational hormone therapy can protect to menopausal symptoms but exogenous estrogen therapy has some potential risks which in turns lead to the appearance of various diseases. In recent years plants with ...
Evaluation of Serum Perforin, Caspase-3, sFasL and M-30 Levels as Apoptotic Markers in Children With Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2015)
Background: Apoptosis is a main regulator in responses of cellular immunity throughout systemic viral infections. Perforin, soluble Fas ligand, caspase-3 and caspase-cleaved cytokeratin-18 (M-30) are mediators of apoptosis. ...
Determination of Fatty Acid Profiles and Esterase Activities in the Gills and Gonads of Vimba vimba (L., 1758)
(SPRINGER, 2015)
The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the gills and gonads of Vimba vimba in terms of fatty acid composition, esterase activity, and esterase band patterns by native-PAGE method. In this context, C16:0 and C18:1n-9 ...
Environmentally Sensitive Hydrogels: N-isopropyl acrylamide/Acrylamide/Mono-, Di-, Tricarboxylic Acid Crosslinked Polymers
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2015)
Environmentally sensitive hydrogels responsive to various stimuli such as temperature, pH, ionic strength of the medium and the solvent were prepared by using N-isopropyl acrylamide (NIPAM), acrylamide (AAm) and monomers ...
Generalized statistical convergence and some sequence spaces in 2-normed spaces
(HACETTEPE UNIV, FAC SCI, 2015)
In this work, we first define the concepts of A-statistical convergence and A(J)-statistical convergence in a 2-normed space and present an example to show the importance of generalized form of convergence through an ideal. ...
Laminar Mixed-Convection Heat Transfer in a Lid-Driven Cavity with Modified Heated Wall
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC, 2015)
In this numerical study, steady laminar mixed-convection heat transfer in a two-dimensional square lid-driven cavity with a modified heated wall is investigated over a range of Richardson numbers, including 0.01, 1, and ...
A new equation for calculation of chemical hardness of groups and molecules
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2015)
Chemical hardness is considered to be a useful theoretical descriptor in many experimental and theoretical studies and this concept has several important applications in chemistry. In this study, an equation for atomic ...
Modeling of reflectance properties of ZnO film using artificial neural networks
(NATL INST OPTOELECTRONICS, 2015)
A ZnO thin film was prepared on a p-Si (100) substrate by using a pulsed filtered cathodic vacuum arc deposition system (PFCVAD). Specular reflectance, a nondestructive technique, can be used to measure thickness, refractive ...
