Objective: To assess the role of Insulin growth factor-I (IGF-I) in females selected for assisted reproductive technique (ART).Methods: In this cross-sectional study 133 infertile females were recruited for Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).The antral follicle count (AFC), pre-ovulatory follicle count (PFC), total doses of follicle stimulatin
The mechanism underlying the pathogenesis of schizophrenia remains poorly understood.The hyper-dopamine and hypo-NMDA receptor hypotheses have been the most enduring ideas.Recently, emerging evidence implicates alterations of the major inhibitory system, GABAergic neurotransmission in the schizophrenic patients.However, the pathophysiological role
Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is an important computer-aided diagnosis technique with rich pathological information.The factor of physical and physiological constraint seriously affects the applicability of that technique.Thus, computed tomography (CT)-based radiotherapy is more popular on account of its imaging rapidity and environmental simplic
The study is devoted to the problem of counterfeiting electronic devices.The constantly increasing requirements for the characteristics and functionality of electronic components for critical equipment (spacecraft, dual-purpose and special-purpose equipment, transport, etc.) lead to the use of foreign-made commercial products.Thus, there is a risk
This study uses machine learning methods to model different stages of the calcination process in cement, with the goal of improving knowledge of the generation of CO2 during cement manufacturing.Calcination is necessary to determine the clinker quality, energy needs, and CO2 emissions in a cement-producing facility.Due to the intricacy of the calci
