Making use of mathematical model we have attempted to classify the various agents modifying the rat paw edema. In the preceding paper (2) we described a model , which showed fairly good fitness to some selected cases of experimental edema in rats . The model is constructed on an assumption that the swelling volume is the reflection of the dynamic balance between the swelling force evoked by the...

In order to reveal the influence of ammonium salts on rare earth leaching process weathered crust elution-deposited ores, acetate, chloride, and sulfate were used as agents. The effects agent efficiency expansion, dissolution, transformation behavior clay minerals in studied. results showed that followed acetate > chloride sulfate, with values 90.60%, 85.96%, 84.12%, respectively. swelling r...

After the demonstration by Harris (1) that mitochondris in intact cells are sensitive to changes in osmolarity and the work of Claude (2) which showed that isolated mitochondria swell in hypotonic sucrose, a number of investigators (3-14) have studied the changes in water content produced when mitochondria are exposed in vitro to various media. In particular, Raaflaub (7-10) has investigated t,...

Therapy Against Brain Swelling in Stroke Patients • The effectiveness of cerebral antiedema agents in stroke has been questioned. Animal and clinical work is inconclusive about steroids and osmotic drugs. A retrospective study of a continuous series of 227 stroke patients treated in the acute stage (some with dexamethasone alone, some with dexamethasone plus hyperosmotic mannitol infusions, and...

OBJECTIVE To describe an unusual case of bilateral masseter and pterygoid muscle hypertrophy. CLINICAL PRESENTATION AND INTERVENTION A 53-year-old female patient presented with a bilateral, painless swelling at the parotid areas without improvement after using antibiotics/systemic corticosteroids/nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents. Her medical history included thyroid nodules, but no denta...

B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) is the frequent pediatric malignity. Chemotherapy is the most practical approaches to deal with such malignancies. Microtubule-targeted agents are one of the most strategic drugs which formerly use in chemotherapy.Although,colchicine-binding anti-tubulin agents exhibited promising effects in clinical trials, their exact mechanism of action is not fully und...
