Regressive electric-shock in schizophrenics refractory to other shock therapies.

The effect of physiologic dose of intravenous hydrocortisone in patients with refractory septic shock: a randomized control trial

Objective: Septic shock is a response to infection and tissue hypoperfusion which does not respond to fluid therapy and eventually leads to organ dysfunction. Aggressive treatment of a broad-spectrum antimicrobial and supportive measures are the cornerstones of successful treatment. In addition to the main treatment, there are adjunctive therapies. Steroids are one of the treat...

THERMAL SHOCK OF REFRACTORIES

Being brittle and having low thermal conductivity, refractories suffer damage and sometimes fail in service as a result of thermal shock. While the approach of those making fine-grained technical ceramics is to make their products sufficiently strong to withstand thermal stresses the refractory technologist is more cunning. He uses, often little known, devices to provide resistance to thermal s...

تاثیر الکتروشوک برآترزی فولیکولی تخمدان در مراحل مختلف چرخه استروس موش سوری بالغ

Background and purpose: Follicular atresia is a natural phenomenon throughout growth and development, but in excessive cases it causes disorders in the ovarian function which is the commonest cause of infertility. Outbreak of depression in women is twice as much as men. Electric-shock therapy could be used in the treatment of depression resistant to drugs. However, it has some side-effects. T...

Successful Treatment of Aluminium Phosphide Poisoning: A Case Report

Aluminium phosphide (AlP) is used to kill rodents in grain storage. It produces phosphine gas which is toxic for mitochondria. The exact mechanism of action is unclear, but phosphine is thought to produce toxicity by blocking cytochrome-c oxidase, which inhibits oxidative phosphorylation and result in cell death. This poisoning has a high mortality, and survival is unlikely if more than 1.5 g i...
