Pre-neutron fragment-yield distributions are calculated for the U(n, f) and Pu(n, f) reactions using a time-dependent fully microscopic approach. These yields are calculated as a function of incident neutron energy from thermal to 5 MeV. We show that our calculations are in good agreement with experimental results, and competitive in accuracy with more phenomenological approaches. Further impro...

PURPOSE To evaluate the effects of isoxsuprine and nicotine on TRAM. METHODS Forty eight 48 Wistar rats distributed into four Groups (n=12). All rats received medication managed daily for 20 days: saline solution (SA), nicotine solution (NI), isoxsuprine solution (IS) and nicotine solution (NI) + isoxsuprine solution (IS). On day 21st the rats were submitted to the caudally based, right unipe...

PURPOSE To evaluate the influence of hypothyroidism in tracheal wound healing process. METHODS A controlled study was designed with 48 male Wistar rats, divided into two groups: study and control groups. In the first one hypothyroidism was surgically induced and 10 weeks after, a tracheal opening followed by suture was performed in both groups, subdivided into 7, 14, and 21 days in accordance...

Rapamycin (RAPA) or cyclosporine (CsA) was administered intravenously, daily for 60 days, to rabbits with heterotopic heart transplants. Groups of 5 rabbits were randomly assigned to receive RAPA at 0.05, 0.1, 0.5 or 1.0 mg/kg/day or CsA at either 5.0, 10.0 or 15 mg/kg/day. Drug vehicle and saline controls were also included. Animals were examined daily and the cervical allografts assessed by p...

Formocresol is common treatment in exposed pulp of primary teeth at caries, trauma and damaged with cavity preparation. Although, clinical and radiographic success and good clinical results are observed, dentistry societies are still searching for materials interchangeable with formocresol. Suab1 is a phytochemical agent that was selected because of its anti- bleeding effect. In this study, we ...

Polyacrylamide hydrogel (PAAG) was initially considered to be a compatible, non-toxic, non-biodegradable material. However, recent studies have shown that numerous adverse events occur after using this permanent filler. The incidence of complications following PAAG injection has been reported to be about 6.7%.Herein, we report a 32-year-old female who developed an infla...
