We addressed the question how long salivary oxytocin levels remain elevated after intranasal administration, and whether it makes a difference when 16 or 24 IU of oxytocin administration is used. Oxytocin levels were measured in saliva samples collected from 46 female participants right before intranasal administration (at 9:30 a.m.) of 16 IU (n = 18) or 24 IU (n = 10) of oxytocin, or a placebo...

background and aims. there are several known sedative drugs, with midazolam and ketamine being the most com-monly used drugs in children. the aim of this study was to compare the effect of intranasal and oral midazolam plus ket-amine in children with high levels of dental anxiety. materials and methods. a crossover double-blind clinical trial was conducted on 23 uncooperative children aged 3‒6 ...

Objective- This study aimed to compare sedation efficacy in intranasal administration of xylazine, diazepam and midazolam with or without ketamine in Chough. Design- To determine the sedation efficacy, an experimental in vivo study was employed. Animals- Seven healthy Choughs were examined in the current study. Procedu...

patients with allergic rhinitis (ar) show increased production of the th2-related cytokines. almost always, intranasal corticosteroid (inc) and antihistamine are used as routine therapy of ar. this study was performed to determine the in vitro secretion of cytokines profiles of pbmcs in patients with ar sensitive to chenopodium album (ch.a) pollens before and after treatment with inc (fluticaso...

a down-flow hanging sponge (dhs) reactor has been developed for sewage treatment, mainly in developing countries. this novel reactor employs polyurethane sponge material as a support medium, which promises a proliferation of a large amount of biomass, offering excellent pollutant removal capability. three types of sponge medium were evaluated with respect to water distribution and oxygen mass t...

With an aim of improving bone regeneration, chitosan sponge containing platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) were developed. For fabrication of chitosan sponge, chitosan solution was freeze-dried, crosslinked and freeze-dried again. PDGF-BB was incorporated into the chitosan sponge by soaking chitosan sponge into the PDGF-BB solution. Release kinetics of PDGF-BB, cell attachment, prolifer...

conclusions since wetting of umbilical cord during tub bathing delays the separation of umbilical cord, sponge bathing is recommended for newborns until the umbilical cord falls off. results the time of separation of umbilical cord in babies who were given sponge bathing (6.1 ± 1.4) was shorter compared to those given tub bathing (8.3 ± 2.5) (p < 0.005). patients and methods this quasi-experime...
