Background: Lateral epicondylitis affects people mainly in middle-aged groups. Despite numerous studies, it is still a poorly understood illness with no clear treatment guidelines. The goal of the study was to compare deep friction massage vs corticosteroid injection for management lateral epicondylitis. Methods: To outcomes, randomised controlled trial conducted. patients were divided into 2 d...

BACKGROUND Lateral epicondylitis is a common problem affecting 1-3% of the population. There has been much debate about the best treatment modality for this condition. There is, however, no conclusive evidence in support of any of the proposed treatment modalities. In this trial, we have studied the effect of corticosteroid injection (with or without splinting) with normal saline injection (wit...

The stability and compatibility of topotecan hydrochloride with common infusion solutions and containers were studied. During this study, the leaching of diethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), a major plasticizer of some polyvinyl chloride (PVC) materials was also investigated. A formulation of topotecan hydrochloride was added to 50 ml PVC infusion bags, polyolefin infusion bags and 150 ml glass bottl...

A series of static hybrid rocket firings were done in a laboratory scale motor using paraffin wax fuel with gaseous oxygen and nitrous oxide oxidizers. A five element swirl injector was used to inject the oxidizer at the head end of the motor. A pyrotechnic igniter was used to initiate the combustion. The combustion of fuel grain was carried out for a fixed duration and at different oxidizer in...

Durchgängige, automatisierte Prozesse können Prozesskosten um 30 bis 40 Prozent senken und Durchlaufzeiten signifikant verkürzen. Der vorliegende Beitrag zeigt anhand eines siebenstufigen Vorgehens, wie umgesetzt werden. Dazu werden die Stufen (wie Aufnahme, Optimierung, Automatisierung Monitoring) inklusive möglicher Methoden Technologien dargestellt. Neben Robotic Process Automation (RPA) kom...

OBJECTIVE To describe medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) levels among Kenyan depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) users in the FEM-PrEP HIV prevention trial, and to compare MPA levels between ARV for HIV prevention (treatment) and placebo groups. STUDY DESIGN We measured MPA in previously collected plasma samples from 63 Kenyan trial participants who used DMPA for one or two complete inter...

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...
