Background & Aims: Abuse of topical anesthetic drops causes serious ocular complications. Obtaining information about the prevalence of anesthetic drops abuse among high risk groups specially welders is necessary for taking appropriate strategies for prevention. The present study aimed at determining the prevalence of anesthetic drops abuse among welders in Kerman. Methods: In this cross-se...

Background There is limited evidence detailing the cost-effectiveness of psoriasis treatments in the Asian region. Therefore, this study is aimed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of 3 psoriasis treatments tailored for moderate to severe psoriasis, namely topical and phototherapy (TP), topical and systemic (TS), and topical and biologic (TB) regimens, respectively. Me...

Summary A case of Cushing' s syndrome associated with application of topical clobetasol propionate (0.05%) is reported. Local application of clobetasol propionate is associated with adrenal suppression in normal subjects and on this basis, it has been recommended that less than 50 g per week be used. There have been sporadic case reports of cushing's syndrome associated with topical steroid bu...

The ramifications of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to emerge across all facets world work, including field human resource management (HRM). Sustainable HRM, drawing on triple bottom line elements economic, environmental and social pillars sustainability, provides an ideal basis from which understand intersection HRM. In this systematic literature review, we analyze peer reviewed articles publi...

Abstract When magnets are fashioned into nanoscale elements, they exhibit a wide variety of phenomena replete with rich physics and the lure tantalizing applications. In this topical review, we discuss some these phenomena, especially those that have come to light recently, highlight their potential We emphasize what drives phenomenon, undergirds dynamics system exhibits how can be manipulated,...

The Drosophila melanogaster alcohol dehydrogenase gene (adh) is under the control of two separate promoters (proximal and distal) which are preferentially utilized at the larval and adult life stages, respectively. A variant alcohol dehydrogenase allele (RI-42) isolated from a natural population contains a copia retroviral-like transposable element inserted 240 bp upstream from the distal (adul...

A significant fraction of Escherichia coli intergenic DNA sequences is composed of two families of repeated bacterial interspersed mosaic elements (BIME-1 and BIME-2). In this study, we determined the sequence organization of six intergenic regions in 51 E. coli and Shigella natural isolates. Each region contains a BIME in E. coli K-12. We found that multiple sequence variations are located wit...

The aim of the study is to evaluate the blood lead (Pb), total blood calcium (Ca) levels and blood zinc (Zn) levels among children. A cross-sectional study was designed to collect healthy children age 1-36 months (Mean ± SD: 1.4 ± 0.3 age, 55% boys) in the study from January 2012 to September 2013. The overall mean blood Pb, Zn and Ca levels were (41.18 ± 11.13) μg/L, (62.18 ± 13.33) μmol/L and...

      Topical and transdermal drug delivery systems are noninvasive and can be self-administered with the minimization of side-effects, have received increased attention during the past few years. Nanoemulsions, emulsions sized between 20-200 nm with narrow distributions, offer several advantages for topical and transdermal delivery of pharmaceutical agents including controlled droplet size, th...
