In GRB 051221A, an X-ray afterglow flat segment lasting ∼ 10 seconds represents the first clear case of strong energy injection in the external shock of a short GRB afterglow. In this work, we show that a millisecond pulsar with dipole magnetic field ∼ 10 Gauss could well account for that energy injection. The good quality X-ray flat segment thus suggests that the central engine of this short b...

objective(s) sildenafil citrate is a new drug and has special properties that bring about nitric oxide effects on vascular smooth muscle. the aim of this study was to assess the effects of ovarian stimulation and sildenafil citrate injection on pinopode expression in mice. materials and methods thirty adult female mice were randomly divided into three groups: control, hyperstimulated and hypers...

introduction: the aim of this study was to evaluate the expression of pinopodes as animplantation marker after ovarian hyper stimulation and progesterone injection using scanningelectron microscopic studies. material and methods: three groups of nmri adult female mice were used in the experiment. the control group (group a) were untreated pseudopregnant mice. group b mice were made pseudopregna...

background: patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (gerd) unresponsive to proton pump inhibitor (ppi) therapy are often labeled as having refractory gerd. one of the probable etiologies of refractory gerd is delayed gastric emptying. refractory gerd associated with gastroparesis is a complex condition with no definitive treatment to date. we opted, for the first time, to test the hypothe...

AIMS Transthoracic murine echocardiography is a cornerstone of small animal research, but conventional methods cannot detect regional perturbations in cardiac function. Reliable assessment of regional cardiac function would be of value in transgenic models of myocardial disease. Until now automatized algorithms for achieving this suffers from a number of drawbacks. We developed a simple algorit...

Fault injection provides a method of assessing the dependability of a system under test. Traditionally fault injection is employed near the end of the design process after hardware and software prototypes have been developed. In order to eliminate costly re-designs near the end of the design process, a methodology for performing fault injection throughout the design process is described in this...

background: cataract extraction surgery remains the most commonly performed eye surgery by ophthalmologists. the maintenance of mydriasis is required throughout surgery to allow better visualization of the surgical field and a greater working space within the center of the eye. non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents (nsaids) have their effect in maintaining mydriasis by their ability to inhibit...

conclusions garlic powder consumption can reduce blood pressure, yet in this model, it did not have an effect on the interaction between renin angiotensin system and nitric oxide inhibition. results at the beginning and at the end of experiments, systolic blood pressure was higher in the hypertensive groups than the normotensive group. however, at the end of the study, diastolic blood pressure ...
