Background: Intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) is the most disabling and least treatable form of stroke. Its risk factors include old age, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolaemia, smoking and high alcohol intake, which are also associated with arterial stiffness. The aim of the present study was to determine the prognostic value of high

Healing is a mysterious process. It may come instantly or gradually, or it never happens. Healing may come in the simplest forms, such as a smile, specific words, love etc. It can also come through many mediums or techniques. disease can be defined as the state of not being at ease, and not beiing in alignment. According to one Al-Hadith "Every

Objective To implement and determine the effectiveness of an objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) to assess fourth-year pharmacy students' skills in a clinical pharmacy course. Design A 13-station OSCE was designed and implemented in the 2007-2008 academic year as part of the assessment methods for a clinical pharmacy course. The br

Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) has grown over the last few decades from a novelty to a mainstream anufacturing process. Though, EDM process is very demanding but the mechanism of the process is complex and far from completely understood. It is difficult to establish a model that can accurately predict the performance by correlating the proces

In this paper, a new reliable algorithm based on an adaptation of the standard homotopy-perturbation method (HPM) is applied to the Chen system which is a three-dimensional system of ODEs with quadratic nonlinearities. The HPM is treated as an algorithm in a sequence of intervals for finding accurate approximate solutions to the Chen system.We shal

In this paper, approximate and/or exact analytical solutions of the generalized Emden–Fowler type equations in the second-order ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are obtained by homotopy-perturbation method (HPM). The homotopy-perturbation method (HPM) is a coupling of the perturbation method and the homotopy method. The main feature of the

In this paper, the homotopy analysis method (HAM) is compared with the homotopy-perturbation method (HPM) and the Adomian decomposition method (ADM) to determine the temperature distribution of a straight rectangular fin with power-law temperature dependent surface heat flux. Comparisons of the results obtained by the HAM with that obtained by the

Porous tri-calcium phosphate, well-known for its use as artificial bone, was prepared via sponge polymeric method by the application of low cost polyurethane (PU) foam as a structural guide. In this experiment, fractions of tri-calcium phosphate (TCP) are controlled at 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16 grams and mixed with distilled water (fixed at 25 grams) t

Polymorphisms within Beta2-adrenergic receptor (β2AR) gene have been repeatedly linked to hypertension. Among the β2AR polymorphisms detected, Arg16Gly and Gln27Glu codons were considered the two most important variations. Arg16Gly especially, has been found to be significantly associated with hypertension in Caucasian and black subjects. The ami

In this paper, the solution of Cauchy reaction-diffussion problems is presented by homotopy-perturbation method (HPM). Reaction-difussion equations have special importance in engineering and sciences and constitute a good model for many systems in various fields. The HPM yields an analytical solution in terms of a rapidly convergent infinite power
