During pregnancy, infective endocarditis (IE) is quite rare but has a high mortality rate in terms of the mother and the fetus. In this article, a 24-year-old patient with a history of mitral valve prolapse (MVP) who was hospitalized due to IE and treated successfully is presented. On echocardiography, severe mitral valve prolapse, severe mitral regurgitation, and vegetation on the posterior le...

the present study was carried out to characterize the cervical mucus (cm) collected when inseminating holstein cows and to relate the secretion pattern with pregnancy. the mucus was collected from mid-cervix of 64 cows with spontaneus estrus (se) and induced estrus (ie). the quantity, pattern and consistency of the mucus, ph, arborization patterns and the sperm motility were observed. the level...

This study aimed to determine the aerosolization behavior of a nanodispersion of budesonide, prepared using microfluidic reactors. The size and morphology of budesonide nanoparticles were characterized by photon correlation spectroscopy (PCS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Processing/formulation parameters for formation of the nanoparticles were studied to determine their effects o...

vanillin is an interesting corrosion inhibitor because of its safe use and high solubility inwater. the effect of vanillin on the corrosion inhibition of carbon steel in 1.0 mhydrochloric acid solution has been studied using potentiodynamic polarization,electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (eis) and electrochemical noise (en) techniques.the effect of temperature on the rate of corrosion in th...
