results the overall prevalence of right, left, bilateral and total absence of the palmaris longus were 4.1%, 5.2%, 3.9% and 13.2%, respectively. there was no significant difference in its absence with regard to the body side or gender (p > 0.05). background the palmaris longus is a degenerating weak flexor muscle in the anterior of the forearm. many techniques for clinically determining the pre...

Background & Aims: The Plantaris muscle is located in the superficial posterior compartment of the leg and is absent in some individuals. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the absence variation of Plantaris muscle and its possible relation with Palmaris longus and fifth superficial flexor digitorum of the hand. Methods: 83 fresh cadavers, referred to legal medicine center, Kerman, Ir...

background and aims. with availability of hydrophilic sealers, drying of the canals before endodontic obturation is still a matter of debate. the aim of this study was to compare the apical micro-leakage of ah26, excite dsc, mta fillapex, and zoe sealers in dry and moist root canals. materials and methods. this experimental study was performed on 90 extracted maxillary central incisors. rotary ...

Today, the use of natural polymers and their replacement with synthetic polymers in various fields of science has attracted much attention. Reducing the associated risks, easy access, and being cost-effective are among the advantages of using natural polymers compared to the synthetic polymers. In this research, the destruction of amylopectin in the presence and absence of titanium dioxide nano...

Background & Aims: Sonography has enjoyed much attention as a noninvasive diagnostic tool for carpal tunnel syndrome in recent years. The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of anatomic variations of existence or absence of palmaris longus and fifth superficial flexor tendons on the sonographic measurement of median nerve surface area in healthy individuals’ wris...

Interaction between DNA and histone H, was investigated in the presence and absence of sodium-n-dodecyl sulphate (SDS) and dodecyl trimethylammonium bromide (DTAB) at temperatures of 27 and 37?C, in 2.5 mM phosphate buffer, pH 6.4 by UV spectrophotometry, equilibriumdialysis and titration. The presence of 1.33 mM SDS caused histone H to fold and to further contact DNA. Binding data were use...

in this study, the effect of recrystallization of naproxen in the presence of hydroxypropyl cellulose (hpc) on the release rate of drug was investigated. crystals were generated by the anti-solvent approach using the hpc solution in water as the anti-solvent. the samples were subjected to various physicochemical evaluations such as crystal size, scanning electron microscopy, fourier transform i...

Surfactant molecules are used as interesting tools to study the structure, function and stability of proteins. Protonation states of amino acids may be changed in the presence of surfactants. In this work, using experimental observations and molecular dynamic simulation, the effects of sodium dodecyl sulfate on the acid dissociation constants of tryptophan was examined. The acid–base equilibriu...
