results gelatin films exhibited good tensile strength and elongation at break, water solubility, swelling, and water vapor permeability. incorporation of tam into the gelatin films caused a significant decrease in tensile strength and swelling, and a significant increase in elongation at break, water solubility, water vapor permeability and whiteness of the films. gelatin films exhibited low an...

introduction: gloves protect the dental healthcare worker from direct contact with microorganisms in the patient's mouth and on dental setting surfaces; they also protect the patient from potential pathogens on the hands of the clinicians. this study was performed to evaluate the permeability of three types of examination latex gloves after treatment of patients in pediatric department of mashh...

in this paper, a very efficient method, called single matrix block analyzer (smba), has been developed to determine relative permeability and capillary pressure curves from spontaneous imbibition (si) data. smba mimics realistically the si tests by appropriate boundary conditions modeling. in the proposed method, a cuboid with an identical core plug height is considered. the equal dimensions of...

introduction: health information plays a vital role in managers' decision making and planning. health information in the form of medical records is also useful for caregivers, quality assessment, financial payments, legal measures, education, research and planning. in this study, to examine the managers and personnel's viewpoints about the application of medical records. methods and material: i...

barrier properties are one of the most important factors in the edible film. in this study, edible mungbean films were prepared containing (0%, 15%, 30%, 45%) concentrations of rosemary aqueous extract. then the effect of rosemary was investigated on colorimetric and barrier properties (water vapor permeability, oxygen permeability). rosemary extract increased the absorption of color in the vis...

polyacrylonitrile (pan) membranes with nano-porous surface and high hydrophilicity were fabricated by addition of polyoxyethylene (40) nonylphenyl ether (igepal) as an additive in the casting solution. the membranes were prepared from pan/igepal/1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (nmp) via phase inversion induced by immersion precipitation technique. pure water was used as coagulation medium. the effects o...

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 ...

patients and methods blood pressure (bp) measurement was performed by the auscultation method, and abnormal glomerular permeability was assessed by dipstick testing of urine for persistent proteinuria and/or hematuria for ≥ three months in hypertensive children. results of 1,335 pupils aged 10.0 ± 2.4 (6.0 - 14.0) years, 33 (2.5%) were hypertensive. overall mean systolic/diastolic bp was 125.6 ...

The effect of dry material, glycerol and ratio of water to seed in alyssum homalocarpum films on their thickness, transparency, moisture content, tensile strength, elongation and water vapor permeability was investigated using mixture response surface methods. Dry material and glycerol were important factors influencing tensile strength, elongation and water vapor permeability. Ratio of water t...
