Effect of diameter of pre-ovulatory follicle (POF) and body condition score (BCS) of buffaloes on pregnancy rate following ovsynch-TAI were studied in 100 post-partum anestrus buffaloes. The size of POF was determined through sonography on day 10 of protocol. BCS of buffaloes were estimated at the time of AI. Pregnancy was con rmed per-rectally on day 60 post-AI. Pregnancy rate in buffaloes wi...

OBJECTIVE To analyze left ventricle performance after myocardial revascularization associated to ventricular geometrics restoration by "pacopexy" in schemic myocardiopathy patients with significant ventricular dysfunction in whom ventricular restoration was obtained through special technique. METHODS Myocardial revascularization associated to ventricular geometrics restoration through special...

In this study, we aimed to evaluate changes in the acute toxicity of intraperitoneally administered silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) of varying sizes in BALB/c mice. Seven-week-old female BALB/c mice were intraperitoneally administered AgNPs measuring 10, 60, or 100 nm in diameter (0.2 mg/mouse) and then sacrificed 1, 3, or 6 h after treatment. In mice administered 10 nm AgNPs, reduced activity and...

INTRODUCTION The key to successful treatment of OSAS is to individually tailor such treatment. Thus, it is very important to determine the severity of OSAS, its pattern, and the extent of collapse, by gender, age, and BMI. OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to understand the characteristics of obstructive sleep apnea in postmenopausal women by comparing postmenopausal and premenopausal ...

BACKGROUND In regional anaesthesia, there is a risk of direct nerve injury. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the diameter of the applied needle is associated with the magnitude of nerve injury after needle nerve perforation. METHODS In five anaesthetized pigs, the brachial plexus were exposed bilaterally. Up to eight nerves underwent needle nerve perforation using a 24 G pen...

We aimed to compare the effectiveness and safety of hepatic resection and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for small hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) less than 5 cm in diameter. A total of 289 patients were diagnosed with a small HCC (a single tumor no larger than 5 cm). Among these patients, 133 underwent hepatic resection, and 156 received RFA. Demographic data, intraoperative data, post-operati...

estimating fetal weight in utero, for better management of pregnancy and appropriate timing of delivery especially in high-risk pregnancies is necessary. our purpose to evaluate a simple method in estimating fetal weight in iranian pregnant patients and also to compare was with a previous western study. this study was carried out in arash hospital, tehran university of medical sciences in 1996-...

the rehabilitation of sandy desertified land in various dryland ecosystems by different management practices has a great potential to increase aggregate stability and improve soil quality. however, plants in general may have a different ability to sustain soil. the objective was to determine the effects of reclamation practices including haloxylon ammodendron and atriplex canescens plantation o...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the effectiveness of two restorative materials for reinforcing thin-walled roots and their microtensile bond strengths to root canal dentin. METHODS Twenty-one decoronated maxillary central incisor roots were root filled and the canals enlarged to leave approximately 1.0 mm thick dentin walls. The roots were distributed randomly to three equal groups. Group 1 (contro...
