background: allergens are mostly composed of glycoprotein structures. it is believed that glycan-specific antibodies may lead to false-positive reactions in immunoassays. in this study we investigated the glycosylation state of grape allergens as well as the presence of antibodies to cross-reactive carbohydrate determinants (anti-ccds) in sera from grape-sensitive individuals. methods: grape ex...

background: hospital health is release to all acts for making healthy environment in hospital to prevent the prevalence of factors that cause disease out of the hospitals. at present, hospital infections are the main result of these factors and one of the most important reasons of patients' mortality. this matter directly or indirectly causes considerable increasing of hospital costs and making...

the catalytic acvtivity of dimeric and monomeric ortho-palladated complexes [pd{c6h2(ch2nh2-(ome)2,3,4}(µ-cl)]2)2) and [pd{c6h2(ch2nh2-(ome)2,3,4}cl(pph3)](3), was investigated in heck cross-coupling reaction. these complexes are more active and efficient catalysts for heck cross-coupling reaction. the palladium complexes 2 and 3 is employed in the heck cross-coupling reaction between styrene a...

background: corneal collagen cross-linking with riboflavin, also known as collagen cross-linking (cxl), involves the application of riboflavin solution to the eye that is activated by illumination with ultraviolet a (uva) light. we survey here the topographic corneal changes one year after cxl in patients with corneal keratoconus. materials and methods: this prospective randomized clinical tria...

conclusions within the limitations of this study, disinfectants were able to completely eliminate microorganisms carried by the alginate impressions. however, more efficient disinfection methods are needed to eliminate the risk of cross contamination by condensational silicone impressions. background dental impressions often carry microorganisms that may cause cross-infection from patients to d...

children need to learn to use the roads safety. road safety is essential for children’s freedom, development and exercise. when walking near a road it is a good idea to: 1. hold your child's hand. 2. don't let them run ahead. 3. look out for and encourage your child to be aware of hidden entrances or driveways crossing the pavement. 4. put reins on a younger child if they're not ...

purpose: to compare the efficacy and safety of xalatan(r) with generic latanoprost (xalabiost) in glaucoma. methods: in this randomized crossover study, 17 patients with primary open angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension were randomized into 2 groups. group a received xalatan for 6 weeks followed by xalabiost for 10 weeks. group b received xalabiost for 6 weeks which was then crossed over to xa...

abstract cisplatin was the first of the platinum drugs. second-generation platinum derivative was carboplatin that its efficacy in the treatment of many malignancies is equal to cisplatin, and its toxicity profile is more favorable. here we report on a 50-year-old woman with a history of cervix cancer who developed a severe hypersensitivity reaction (hsr) to carboplatin. she was admitted to the...

the cross efficiency evaluation is used to performance measurement of decision making units in data envelopment analysis concept. one of the most important shortcoming of this method is existing alternative optimal solution and therefore, the efficiency scores are not unique. we are going to summarize the pervious models proposed by researchers and suggest an alternative secondary goal approach...
