We have studied the extent to which buoyancy e€ects in horizontal pipe ̄ows of drag-reducing viscoelastic ̄uids cause distortions to both laminar and turbulent temperature pro®les. In the case of laminar ̄ows, these distortions may lead to variations in Nusselt numbers that are larger than those seen for Newtonian pipe ̄ows under similar conditions. In the case of turbulent drag-reducing ̄ows, ...

introduction & objective: adequate and proper hydration during surgery is one of the duties of anesthesiologist. based on the different effects of dextrose–containing fluids and dextrose-free fluids on the level of blood sugar, we decided to evaluate the effects of these fluids on the blood sugar level after short-term surgeries. materials & methods: one hundred patients who were scheduled for ...

glutathione, considered to be the master antioxidant (ao), is the most-important redox regulator that controls in therapeutic considerations for the adjunctive use of glutathione in management of periodontitis, in limiting the tissue damage associated with oxidative stress, and enhancing wound healing cannot beunderestimated, but need to be evaluated further through multi-centered randomized co...

introduction: postoperative pain is an acute pain related to size and site of operation, patient's psychologic and physiological condition, degree of manipulation and damage of tissues. pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage. administration of opioids is one of the common techniques for postoperative pain management, but com...

PURPOSE To compare the outcomes such as postoperative nausea/vomiting, analgesic requirements, and hospital stay following the use of topical oxybuprocaine hydrochloride 0.4% or intravenous (IV) fentanyl in children undergoing strabismus surgery. METHODS This was a prospective cohort study. Children operated under general anesthesia for strabismus were given topical oxybuprocaine hydrochlorid...

Six dogs were surgically prepared with a right carotid loop and with the left common carotid artery ligated low in the neck. Respiratory frequency (f) and body temperature (Tb) were measured while the animals were at rest in a warm chamber (36-40 degrees C) in four separate experiments: 1) right intracarotid infusion of hypertonic NaCl; 2) right intracarotid infusion of isotonic NaCl; 3) intrav...

bstract—Cystatin C is distributed in all human tissues and uids with a particular abundance in the cerebrospinal fluid. ystatin C is a strong endogenous inhibitor of lysosomal ysteine proteases, such as cathepsin B, L, H and S, that are nvolved in various biological processes such as degradation f cellular proteins and regulation of enzymes, as well as in athological processes. Pharmacological ...

The article titled “Intravenous Leiomyoma with Extension to the Heart: A Case Report and Review of the Literature” [1], published in Case Reports in Obstetrics and Gynecology, has been retracted as it is found to contain a substantial amount of material, without referencing, from the published article titled “Surgical management of intravenous leiomyoma with cardiac extension. Do we need total ...

Earlier studies proved the success of using chemically functionalised multi-walled carbon nanotubes (f-MWNTs) as nanocarriers to the brain. Little insight into the kinetics of brain distribution of f-MWNTs in vivo has been reported. This study employed a wide range of qualitative and quantitative techniques with the aim of shedding the light on f-MWNT's brain distribution following intravenous ...

71/F presented with left sided headaches and neck pain with nuchal rigidity progressively worsening over 3 weeks with no other neurologic symptoms. Odontoid osteomyelitis with epidural abscess was discovered on further workup with neuroimaging. Concurrent jugular vein and transverse sinus venous thrombosis was also found and suspected to be secondary to the pyogenic odontoid osteomyelitis. Pati...
