in this paper, grafting of acrylic acid monomer on gum tragacanth was performed. variable of experiment included concentration of initiators and monomer, time, and temperature. grafting efficiency was measured in the term of percentage of grafting (%g) and percentage of grafting efficiency (%e). effectiveness of grafted gum in ferrous ion removal at different condition was assessed. according t...

BACKGROUND Some pregnant women discontinue iron supplements consumption due to Gastrointestinal (GI) complications, whereas pregnancy induces the same complications physiologically. OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study was to assess GI complications of ferrous sulfate in pregnant women. PATIENTS AND METHODS This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial was performed on...

There are isolated case reports of Trichinella spiralis infestation in animals from India. We report the first case in man from India. The nematode was discovered incidentally during drainage of psoas abscess.

purpose : to report a patient with orbital tuberculosis (tb) without any history of systemic involvement case report : a 41-year-old afghani man who presented with progressive painless swelling in lateral side of the left upper eyelid and diplopia. he did not have history of fever or pulmonary disease. histopathology revealed a granulomatous inflammation with caseation necrosis. microbiological...

OBJECTIVE Ferrous iron is a major source inducing oxidative stress after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Divalent metal transporter1 (DMT1) is the important and well-known plasma membrane transport protein which was proved to be involved in the transport of free ferrous iron in mammals. Ferroportin 1 (FPN1) is the unique exporter of ferrous iron from mammalian cells. The role of DMT1 and FPN1 i...

Ferrous fumarate (Fersamal) and ferrous carbonate (Ferrodic) may produce false-positive results with the orthotolidine tablet tests (Occultest and Hematest) if administered to patients being investigated for alimentary bleeding. Misleading results are also likely if the benzidine test is employed as a filter-paper procedure. Ferrous sulphate, gluconate, succinate, iron and ammonium citrate, and...

background and objectives: in the original in vitro method for evaluation of iron bioavailability using caco-2 cell model, ferritin formation by cells is considered as a functional indicator of both absorption and utilization of iron. however, as iron is measured in the tested material and then ferritin concentration is measured in caco-2 cell lysate, it is almost impossible to have a concrete ...

Demodex folliculorum, commonly known as the follicle mite is a parasite of man in all parts of the globe. It was discovered independently by He:Qle (1841) and Berger (1845). Simon (1842) described it as Acarus folliculorum. Owen (1843) reevaluated the genus as Demodex. According to Akbulatova (1963) there are two subspecies namely Demodex folliculorum longus and Demodex folliculorum brevis, syn...

A dural arteriovenous fistula was discovered incidentally in a 58-year-old man with activated protein C resistance who underwent routine outpatient cerebral angiography for workup of multiple intracranial aneurysms.
