| Paper ID | D0z5E |
| Keywords | Functional Independence, Stroke, Range of Motion Exercises, Quality of Life |
| Abstract |
Read more…Background: Exercising to increase functional independence after stroke, which is one of the leading causes of death and loss of functional independence in the world, also increases the quality of life. This study was conducted to determine the effect of a range of motion exercises applied to individuals who had a stroke on functional independence and quality of life. \nMethods: The study was conducted with 80 individuals, 40 of whom were in the intervention group and 40 in the control group, who received inpatient treatment in the neurology service of a regional city hospital, and met the inclusion criteria. Planned range of motion exercises were applied to the individuals in the intervention group 3 times a day for 2 weeks, and no application was made to the control group other than routine treatment. \nResults: It was determined that a range of motion exercises applied to individuals who had stroke increased their functional independence levels and quality of life. Moreover, it was found that there was a strong positive correlation between functional independence levels and the quality of life in individuals with stroke.\nConclusions: In line with these results, it is recommended to apply regular and planned range of motion exercise programs to individuals with a stroke as soon as the disease stabilizes |

| Title | Evaluation of flood water discharge with different return times and Assessment of urban surface water discharge channels: a Case study of Zanjan City |
| Paper ID | thA6c |
| Keywords | Flood, Return periods, Zanjan |
| Abstract |
Read more…Iran is located in the part of word which is considered as arid and semi- arid regions except Caspian Sea margin regions Because of this reason, primary cores of most cities of Iran are located at the sides of water rebasins like rivers. These cities are developed at the side of cities and are exceeded to the river limits or beds because of development. Most of Iranian rivers have turbulent or seasonal regimes and cities development in the river beds will cause much damage especially in the floods which have soon return period. Zanjan city is located and developed at the side of Zanjanroud(river of Zanjan). At the present time, eight Zanjanroud sub-basins and the main river bed are located in the city. In the future, many number of Zanjanroudsub-basin will be located in the city because of the city development. Lack of attention to the maximum produced discharge rate in building surface water discharge channels can result in much damage to the city in future. In this research, by determining the sub-basins which are located in the city, the researcher has tried to estimate the flood discharge volume in the return periods of 2, 10, 5, 25, 50, and 100 years and to investigate surface water discharge channels in the city and the critical channels are determined from this viewpoint. The research method is analytical. Topographies map, Air photos, and GIS are used as instruments. Synoptic station statistics of Zanjan is used for the relationship of intensity and precipitation period. The station is the only one in the research area. The result showed that there is much danger in the sub-basin channel of south of Safar Abad region and it has to be modified. |

| Title | International management in production of cereals and pulses crop |
| Paper ID | SjsUX/NA |
| Keywords | Cereals, green revolution, population, pulses |
| Abstract |
Read more…Cereals and pulses are the most important food sources for supplying protein, calories, and energy especially for those who live in the developing countries. Analysis and survey of changes’ trend of these two products in the past can assist researchers to have a better and efficient programming. It seems that production policies of agricultural products in different countries from 1970 to 2009 are various and this difference can have dissimilar reasons. This report shows that Europe’s policies in production of cereals and pulses differ with other continents. While four other continents are increasing the cultivation and production of these two products, Europe decreases it. Certainly this issue requires more survey. |

| Paper ID | R9m90/NA |
| Keywords | myocardial contusion, pulmonary contusion, acute coronary syndrome, multiple injury, hypovolemic shock, neurogenic shock |
| Abstract |
Read more…We present the case of a 30 years old patient (male) victim of a high speed car crush assisted by ED Craiova. Coma, severe head trauma, serious chest trauma with multiple rib fractures, bilateral lung contusions, pericardial fluid, multiple spine and pelvic unstable fracture, medullar injury, progressive shock, paroxysmal cardiac dysrhythmias. Increased levels of CKMB with atipical evolution for a myocardial contusion. Two cardiopulmonary arrest (asystole), both resuscitated.\nTaking into account the kinematics and severity of thoracic trauma, myocardial contusion was the first diagnostic hypotheses, but it was also considered the possibility of an acute coronary syndrome, toxicologic ethyology and the spinal cord damage as causes of cardiogenic shock and cardiac rhythm disturbance. \nThe association of neurotrauma, haemorrhage and pulmonary contusion limited treatment of an potential acute coronary syndrome, fast volume replacement and the possibilitys to assist ventilation, in context of shock and risk of secondary brain and spinal injury.\nSpecifying these contingencies determined the management orientation for both possible primary reperfusion and advanced management for neurotrauma. |

| Title | Relation between spinal column curvatures and VO2max in weightlifting and horse riding athlete |
| Paper ID | aMUiq/NA |
| Keywords | spinal column – sagittal alignment – weight lifting – Horse riding – Delmas index |
| Abstract |
Read more…Athletes are so sensitive to lose their physical fitness. It\'s not because athletes can understand pain better than normal people, the body of athletes\' works in a harmonic manner that the smallest distractive factor would be recognized at once, it is clear that this factor should be recognized and modified as soon as possible.\nThe aim of this study was the Relation between spinal column curves with Vo2max of horse riders and weightlifters. Elite athlete ranging from 18-29 participated in research tests. All measurements were taken in one phase. To analyze the finding, SPSS software and descriptive statistical methods were used. Then, the results, by using the t-test and Pearson correlational coefficient, were investigated as two extremes (α=0.05). The results of correlation showed that there is no meaningful relationship between functionally hyper Lordosis and hyper kyphosis of spinal column of the athletes with vo2max in these two sport fields. It appears that training and other features have more potential effect than body composition and spinal column curves on vo2max. |
