introduction: this study aimed to compare the cytotoxicity of mta fillapex, ah-26 and apatite root canal sealers at different times after mixing. methods and materials: in this in vitro study, mta fillapex, ah-26 and apatite root canal sealer were spilled uniformly by 40 µm mesh in a 96-well plate. then, human fetal foreskin fibroblast cell line (hfff2) were added to each sealer cell culture me...

The fertile period for natural mating in dogs extends from before ovulation until day 5 post ovulation (PO) and involves a delay in oocyte maturation until 2-3 days PO and viability of secondary oocytes for 48-60 h or more. Spermatozoa do not enter the uterus after vaginal insemination in late oestrus. Cervical closure appears to occur on average 5 days PO, but conception may occur following in...

In 192 oocyte donation cycles performed between January 1993 and July 1996, we examined the width of 'the window for embryo transfer' using standard hormonal replacement methods. All transfers were performed within 48 h of insemination. We varied the day of embryo transfer with regard to the initiation of progesterone therapy and, thus, the duration of endometrial exposure to progesterone and a...

BACKGROUND The role of oximes for the treatment of organophosphorus pesticide poisoning has not been conclusively established. We aimed to assess the effectiveness of a constant pralidoxime infusion compared with repeated bolus doses to treat patients with moderately severe poisoning from organophosphorus pesticides. METHODS 200 patients were recruited to our single-centre, open randomised co...

The aim of the present study was to compare the efficacy of intra-articular magnesium sulphate and a saline placebo for postoperative pain control following total hip arthroplasty (THA). Sixty patients underwent THA and were randomly allocated into two groups to receive intra-articular injections of either 10 ml magnesium sulphate (100 mg/ml; magnesium group, n=30) or 10 ml normal saline soluti...

Background & Aims of the Study: Anaerobic baffled reactor (ABR) is one low-cost wastewater treatment systems; however, it has some limitations, such as insufficient standard nutrient outflow. Accordingly, should be studied and developed. This research aims to determine efficiency a five-sectional pilot upgrade with an integrated aerated media filter in (integrated reactor) for municipal tre...

Antenatal glucocorticoids are used to promote the maturation of fetuses at risk for preterm delivery. While perinatal glucocorticoid exposure has clear immediate benefits to cardiorespiratory function, there is emerging evidence of adverse long-term effects. To determine if antenatal betamethasone alters vascular reactivity, we examined isometric contraction of endothelium-intact coronary and m...
