purpose : recession is the main surgical procedure in correction of eye deviation in duane’s syndrome. we evaluate the efficacy of botulinum toxin injection in the treatment of this type of strabismus instead of surgery or before it. methods : three patients with duane’s syndrome type i and one patient with type ii were selected at poostchi eye clinic from patients who diagnosed primarily and h...

Hypoparathyroidism (HP) is a disorder characterized by low levels of PTH which lead to hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, and low bone turnover. The most common cause of the disease is accidental removal of the parathyroid glands during thyroid surgery. Novel therapies for HP are needed, but testing them requires reliable animal models of acquired HP. Here, we demonstrate the generation of two mo...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Facial synkinesis and hyperkinesis commonly impair the outcome of facial nerve palsy. Botulinum toxin type A has shown positive results in the treatment of these symptoms. Our experience is reported in this article. STUDY DESIGN Prospective study. METHODS Forty-one patients affected by facial synkinesis and hyperkinesis due to facial palsy were treated. The etiology of...

The statistical properties of membrane protein random walks reveal information on the interactions between the proteins and their environments. These interactions can be included in an overdamped Langevin equation framework where they are injected in either or both the friction field and the potential field. Using a Bayesian inference scheme, both the friction and potential fields acting on the...

In a number of clinical conditions such as intoxication, bacteraemia or autoimmune diseases the removal of the disease-causing factor from blood would be the most direct cure. However, physicochemical characteristics of the target compounds limit the applicability of classical filtration and diffusion-based processes. In this work, we present a first in vivo magnetic blood purification rodent a...

This study explores the detoxification potential of Corymbia citriodora plant extracts against aflatoxin B1 and B2 (AFB1; 100 μg L(-1) and AFB2; 50 μg L(-1)) in In vitro and In vivo assays. Detoxification was qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed by TLC and HPLC, respectively. The study was carried out by using different parameters of optimal temperature, pH and incubation time period. Resu...

Experience with the aflatoxin problem may provide a useful guide in dealing with problems that may arise with other mycotoxins. Characteristics of mycotoxin situations are delineated. A multidisciplinary approach is needed in the following problem cases: (i) Identification of the fungus responsible and isolation and characterization of the mycotoxin(s). (iO Accurate analytical methodology for d...
