background: post-operative nausea and vomiting (ponv) following surgical operations requiring general anesthesia are common and distressing. the incidence of ponv may be as high as 70% during the first 24 hrs of tonsillectomy.   objective: this study determines the effects of intraoperative well-hydration on postoperative nausea and vomiting.   methods: 90 asa i patients with age of 6-12 years ...

gypsum-bonded particleboard panels were made from various mixture of bagasse (saccharum ossicinarum l.) and wheat (oryza sativa l.) straw particles bonded with different ratio level of particles/gypsum. this study examined possible feasibility of bagasse and wheat straw particles in the production of gypsum-bonded particleboard (gbpb). one-layer experimental gbpb with density of 1.05 and 1.20 g...

Objective(s): The aim of present study is to formulate mefenamic acid transdermal gel based on vesicular drug delivery approaches.Materials and Methods: For the preparation of mefenamic acid transdermal gel, transfersomes were selected as colloidal carriers. Transfersomes were prepared by hand shaking and thin film hydration techniques. The obtained transfersomes were characterized for vesicula...

Infection is the primary source of mortality in burn patients. One of the main treatment methods of burn wound infections is topical antimicrobial therapy, in which drugs have to permeate a dead tissue called eschar. Unfortunately, most antimicrobial agents can not permeate eschar in therapeutic levels. Surprisingly, permeation properties of this barrier and effects of chemical or environmental...

Extract of Taraxacum platycarpum (AF-343) has been reported to have several biological properties such as skin hydration and anti-inflammatory effects. Although clinical evidences of skin hydration and antiinflammatory effect were proven in clinical trial, precise mechanism of skin hydration was not fully understood yet. In this study, we have focused skin hydration mechanism related filaggrin,...

  ABSTRACT Dolomite refractories have a good production potential in Iran due to the existence of high-quality dolomite ore in many regions of the country, particularly in Isfahan and Hamedan. The basic problem associated with the production and use of this type of refractories is inherent tendency to hydration of calcined dolomite. One of the methods to overcome this problem is to increase the...

Mirror-image asymmetric molecules, i.e., chiral isomers or enantiomers, are classically considered as chemically identical. Recent studies, however, have indicated that parity violation by the nuclear weak force induces a tiny energy difference between chiral isomers. Upon combination with a massive amplification process, expansion of this difference to a detectable macroscopic level may be ach...

The primary aim of this study was to quantify the relationship between corneal structure and hydration in humans and pigs. X-ray scattering data were collected from human and porcine corneas equilibrated with polyethylene glycol (PEG) to varying levels of hydration, to obtain measurements of collagen fibril diameter, interfibrillar spacing (IFS) and intermolecular spacing. Both species showed a...
