purpose: to determine whether adding 2% topical cyclosporine (csa) to local and systemic steroids in treatment of endothelial corneal allograft rejection improves the outcome. methods: a prospective randomized treatment trial was carried out on 40 consecutive corneal graft recipients, presenting with the first episode of endothelial graft rejection in two groups. group one (20 patients) receive...

In this work, several machine learning techniques are presented for nanofiltration modeling. According to the results, specific errors are defined. The rejection due to Nanofiltration increases with pressure but decreases with increasing the concentration of chloride ion. Methods of machine learning represent the rejection of nanofiltration as a function of concentration, pH, pressure and also ...

The criteria for selecting materials railway pavement (particle size distribution, California Support Index, and physical indexes) are not suitable evaluating the hydraulic behavior of tropical soils under unsaturated conditions, often resulting in rejection with good mechanical performance. trackbed is exposed to precipitation, allowing water infiltration into layers consequently leading moist...

An easy method to prepare hydrophilic PES membranes with anti-fouling properties was developed by UV-polymerization of poly vinyl pirrolidone (PVP) on membrane surfaces. The modified surfaces were analyzed ATR-FTIR, and the new nature determined contact angle measurements. novel prepared using Rhodiasolv® Polarclean as a green solvent compared control membrane, without exposure at hydrophilizat...

backgrounds and aims: methylglyoxal (mgo) is an –α, β dicarbonyl aldehyde inevitably produced from triose-phosphate intermediates of glycolysis, and amino acid. increased mgo in blood leads to alterations in coagulation, clot permeability and thus, atherosclerosis in children with diabetes; however, the precise mechanism is not clear. the present study aimed to compare different concentrations ...
