background tennis elbow (te) is a common myotendinosis. it was first described by runge in 1873; different modes of treatment are used in management of te. objectives this study aimed to report the results of autologous blood injection (abi) in the treatment of te. materials and methods a prospective case study was performed to evaluate the results of abi in the management of te. the level of p...

The activity of one of the metabolizing enzymes of - aminobutyric acid, (GABA), was determined in mouse hypothalamus after peripheral injections of cholecystokinin-8 (CCK-8) and caerulein (CLN). The activity of this rate-limiting enzyme, L-glutamic acid decarboxylase, (GAD), did not change thirty minutes after peripheral injections of either CCK-8 or CLN in doses of 50g/kg body weight. Howeve...

diastolic phase of cardiac function is associated with lower arterial flow and hence higher concentration of intra arterially injected drug is achieved at the site of injection. it is herein postulated that drugs show higher efficacy when injected during the diastolic phase of cardiac function. it is also postulated that this benefit cannot be achieved when the drug is injected with higher rate...

increase of environmental pollution and restricted emission legislations have forced companies to produce automobiles with lower air pollutants. in this respect, discharge of blowby gases into the environment has been prohibited and their recirculation into the combustion chamber is proposed as an alternative solution. in addition, using egr technique to control and reduce nitrogen oxides in in...

a typical iranian carbonate matrix block surrounded by an open fracture was modeled in order to understand the fracture-matrix interaction and realize how to model the interaction best. the modeling was carried out by using a fine-scaled eclipse model in the single porosity mode (the fractures were explicitly modeled). the model was extended to a stack of 6 matrix blocks to understand block-to-...

co2 injection is an effective technique for improved oil recovery in light oil reservoirs, especially for water flooding abandoned reservoirs. in this study, the lower part of es1 reservoirs in pucheng oilfield was introduced as the target reservoir. by studying the minimum miscible pressure in co2 flooding, the reservoir could achieve miscible flooding. long core displacement experiments prove...

The allocation of "choice" behavior provides a measure that may be useful in developing experimental models of clinical relapse. In the present experiments, indirect monoaminergic agonists [cocaine, 1-(2-[bis(4-fluorophenyl)methoxy]ethyl)-4-(3-phenylpropyl)piperazine (GBR 12909), desipramine, and citalopram], and dopaminergic D1 family agonists [(+/-)-6-chloro-7,8-dihydroxy-3-allyl-1-phenyl-2,3...
