introduction: the a im of this study is the evaluation of the effect of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy with radachlorin on staphylococcus aureus and escherichia coli. new windows are open in the antimicrobial field so-call photodynamic therapy that incorporates a nonpoisonous photosensitizer (ps) with innocuous special wavelength photons to excite the ps. methods: two strains of bacteria us...

purification of extra-cellular cellulolytic enzymes from c e l l u l o mssp. strain 0, isolated from forest soil in the north of iran , was studied by using gel filtration and ion-exchange chromatography. two endo-glucanases (endo-i & endo-ii) and one exo-glucanase (exo-i) were purified to hornogenity . the purified enzymes had molecular weights of about 39.000,70.000 and 90.000 daltons for end...

INTRODUCTION Post-operative outcomes may be improved by the use of flow related end-points for intra-venous fluid and/or low dose inotropic therapy. The mechanisms underlying this benefit remain uncertain. The objective of this study was to assess the effects of stroke volume guided intra-venous fluid and low dose dopexamine on tissue microvascular flow and oxygenation and inflammatory markers ...

Endovascular intervention has become the first-line therapy for aortoiliac occlusive disease because of lower operative mortality and morbidities. However, there is little data comparing outcomes prolonged complex endovascular procedures with those open bypasses. In this study, we asked whether longer time adversely affects cases at what point long negates benefits over The American College Sur...

Lymphangioma circumscriptum is a congenital lymphatic malformation that results in gradual dilatation of lymphatic vessels and development of lymphatic cisterns. The treatment of choice is radical surgery. Other treatment methods including cryotherapy, sclerosing agent injections, radiation therapy and CO2 laser were suggested. We report successful treatment of a 14-year-old boy affected with l...

objective: low-level laser therapy (lllt) has been increasingly in use over the last few decades in both medicine and dentistry. it has been suggested that lllt may be helpful in pulpal wound healing following pulp exposure. the purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of lllt and formocresol (fc) application in healing of remaining pulp following pulp amputation in primary molars...
