Gender differences in the professional experiences of Iran specialists in American academia.

The work on gender differences in academic life spans a wide array of colleges and universities, scholarly disciplines, and countries. Using a survey conducted in 2016 to capture "the state of the field" in Iranian Studies as US-Iran relations were in a brief thaw, this paper draws on some of these perspectives and explores gender differences in the professional experiences of Iranian Studies scholars working in the USA. Iranian Studies has grown and diversified in the USA since the 1960s.

Polyol-mediated synthesis of nickel oxide nanoparticles through aqueous sol-gel route.

Background: In this work, nickel oxide nanoparticles were prepared by polyol mediated aqueous route of sol-gel process using nickel nitrate hexahydrate as precursor, a mixture of isopropyl alcohol and water as solvent and glycerol for making polyol medium followed by calcination at various temperatures ranging from 500 to 900 °C. Characterization was carried out using X-ray diffractometry, infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry-thermogravimetry and field emission scanning electron microscopy.

Results: The results confirmed the formation of face-cantered cubic structure of nickel oxide with its complete conversion after calcination at 900 °C; significant variation in the surface morphology was observed with the increasing calcination temperature.

Satisfaction With Telemedicine Consultation as Follow-Up Visit in Patients with Parkinsonism and Essential Tremor in during the Covid-19 Pandemic.

Background: Telemedicine (TM) consultations have shown to be feasible for the management of neurological conditions including movement disorders. In contrast, satisfaction with such consultations have been less studied.

Objective: To assess the satisfaction of persons with a movement disorder with a TM consultation in comparison to previous experiences in face-to-face visits.

D-Dimer as a Sensitive Biomarker of Survival Rate in Patients with COVID-19.

Objective: The global case fatality rate of coronavirus disease 2019 is 2.16% as announced by the World Health Organization. In Indonesia, according to the Ministry of Health, the number is even higher, reaching a 2.

Lymphocyte Levels in Predicting the Outcome of COVID-19 Patient: A Prognostic Study from Single Center in Indonesia.

Background: Several laboratory parameters have been linked to Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), with lymphocytes being one of the most important. Lymphopenia is frequently linked to a worsening of clinical symptoms and an increased risk of death in COVID-19. This study aimed to determine the role of lymphocyte levels in predicting COVID-19 patient mortality.
