Plasma 25-hydroxy-cholecalciferol (25-OHD) was measured serially in two groups of preterm infants receiving either 400 IU or 1000 IU oral vitamin D3 daily. All the babies were able to absorb and hydroxylate vitamin D3 adequately by 36 weeks' gestational age. The higher daily supplement had no advantage over the lower dose.

background: ct is a diagnostic imaging modality giving higher patient dose in comparison with other radiological procedures, so the calculation of organ dose in ct exams is very important. while methods to calculate the effective dose have been established (icrp 26 and icrp 60), they depend heavily on the ability to estimate the dose to radiosensitive organs from the ct procedure. however, dete...

Antibiotics are highly successful in controlling bacterial infection but they have many toxic effects, sometimes very fatal. Aim of the present study was to evaluate subchronic toxicity of fixed dose combination of ceftriaxone-vancomycin in mice. Male and female mice were divided into four groups depending on dose of ceftraixone-vancomycin (0, 10, 100 and 500 mg/kg i.m.). Hematological, biochem...

Background: Mixed gonadal dysgenesis is a rare congenital and challenging condition, characterized mainly by 45,X/46,XY karyotype mosaicism, asymmetrical development various internal external genital anatomy. Because of frequent disorder higher risk germ cell neoplasia, management these patients complex requires multidisciplinary approach.Case: We present mixed patient diagnosed with gonadoblas...

Low-lying singlet and triplet electronic excited states of ClOOCl are presented. Calculations of the excitation energies and oscillator strengths are reported using excited state coupled cluster response methods, as well as the complete active space self-consistent field method with the full Breit-Pauli spin-orbit operator. These calculations predict that for ClOOCl there should be a weakly abs...

Laparoscopic orchiopexy (LO) was used in place of open surgery in 10 patients for diagnosing cryptorchidism in our department. In this method a large abdominal incision was not given in search of intra-abdominal testes. Anorchia was diagnosed in four patients, which was shown to be bilateral in one. In one subject with ambiguous genitalia, revealing the presence of intra-abdominal gonads e...

Introduction: Coronary angiography and angioplasty procedures lead to significant radiation exposure of patients. In the current study, the average radiation dose to patients during angiography in the Angiography Department of Shahid-Madani Hospital was determined. Materials and Methods: An image intensifier based angiography unit (Philips BH 3000) was used for angiography procedures. The accur...
