methods this randomized, crossover study with parallel design was conducted in 45 patients who required maintenance hemodialysis due to end-stage renal failure. four patients with known bleeding disorders, receiving anticoagulant drugs and receiving drugs which could affect heparin activity were excluded. all patients were randomly assigned to receive either enoxaparin sodium (0.7 mg/kg) or sta...

Iron deficiency anemia is one of the most prevalent nutritional deficiency worldwide. The commonly used cut-off values for identifying iron deficiency are extrapolated from older children and may not be suitable for infants. Therefore, our study aimed to establish appropriate cut-off values for the evaluation of iron status in Chinese infants. Pregnant women who delivered at ⋝37 gestational wee...

OBJECTIVE Insulin resistance (IR) and associated metabolic abnormalities are increasingly being reported in the adolescent population. Cut-off value of homeostasis model of assessment IR (HOMA-IR) as an indicator of metabolic syndrome (MS) in adolescents has not been established. This study aimed to investigate IR by HOMA-IR in urban Indian adolescents and to establish cut-off values of HOMA-IR...

comin the case of pharmaceutical processes, the presence of preservatives can be problematic and the quantity is subject to stringent standards. so, the aim of this study is to quantify the removal of glycerin contained in ultrafiltration flat sheet membranes by filtration and soaking. this is carried out over a wide range of membranes with different characteristics. the selected flat sheet mem...

Background : Birth weight has been accepted as the most important reliable index of the health status of the community and is an indicator of neonatal morbidity and mortality. In India weight at birth is not recorded because almost 80% of the deliveries take place at home or at rural health centre where weighing scales tend to be either non available or defective. Objective: To find the best su...

the effects of salicylic acid (sa) and putrescine (put), on cut gladioluswas studied. sa (0, 150, 300 and 450 mg l-1) and put (0, 100, 200 and 300 mg l-1), their combinations were tested as preservative mixture. this study was conducted in a factorial experiment with complete randomized design on 192 gladioluscut flowers in horticulture laboratory of agriculture faculty of islamic azad universi...

the effects of salicylic acid (sa) and putrescine (put), on cut narcissus was studied. sa (0, 100 and 200 mg l-1) and put (0, 150 and 300 mg l-1), their combinations were tested as preservative mixture. this study was conducted in a factorial experiment with complete randomized design on 108 narcissus cut flowers in horticulture laboratory of agriculture faculty of islamic azad university, jiro...

Several forward osmosis (FO) experiments were carried out using aqueous solutions of sodium chloride (NaCl) in different concentrations, as draw solution (DS), and freshwater, feed water (FW). The conducted at a constant temperature ~20°C symmetric cellulosic membrane two grades their values the molecular weight cut-off (MWCO), which is related to mean pore diameter. This study investigates eff...

The manifold array of saccharide linkages leads to a great variety polysaccharide architectures, comprising three conformations in aqueous solution: compact sphere, random coil, and rigid rod. This conformational variation limits the suitability commonly applied molecular weight cut-off (MWCO) as selection criteria for ultrafiltration membranes, it is based on globular marker proteins with narr...

In this study, pure tetragonal zirconia (t-ZrO2), with an average size of approximately 7 nm, was prepared by a modified hydrothermal method using zirconium nitrate (Zr(NO3)4) as the source and glycerol additive. The effects pH content on phase morphology ZrO2 were investigated, mechanism is discussed herein. gradually increased increase in pH, while grain powder decreased. effect addition crys...
