This pilot double blind randomised controlled study aimed to investigate whether the midvastus (MV) approach without patellar eversion in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) resulted in improved recovery of function compared to the medial parapatellar (MP) approach. Patients were randomly allocated to either the MV approach or the MP approach. Achievements of inpatient mobility milestones were record...

the applicability of hollow fiber-based liquid phase microextraction (hf-lpme) was evaluated for the extraction and preconcentration of loratadine prior to determination by hplc. in order to obtain high extraction recovery, the parameters affecting the hf-lpme including type of organic phase, ph of the source and receiving phases, stirring rate, extraction time and salt addition were studied an...

clomipramine is a tricyclic antidepressant. different methods for determination of clomipramine hydrochloride in plasma have been described. most of these procedures favor the use of acidic back-extraction in extraction procedure and hplc as the analytical technique. in this study, the clomipramine extraction procedure was modified and a direct injection to the column was performed to shorten t...

a simple, reproducible and rapid gas chromatographic method for precise determination of valproic acid (vpa) in human plasma has been developed. total time for sample preparation and gc analysis is less than 45 min. after plasma protein precipitation, vpa was extracted into chloroform with suitable recovery. by using stabilwax®-da capillary gc column, a symmetrical gas chromatographic peak was ...

background: platelet preparations have been used for a wide variety of clinical applications such as hemorrhage, tissue engineering and cellular therapy. platelet concentrates can be prepared by the apheresis method or from the whole blood using the buffy-coat or platelet-rich plasma methods. the purpose of this study was to compare four variations of platelet-rich plasma method based on double...

in the present paper axial distributions of plasma and floating potentials, electron and iondensities and eedf have been measured in the dl region of a hg discharge constriction. an attempt hasbeen made for the resolution of opposing charged layer structures in dl. excitation processes in theconstriction region are studied. using the linearization method for the nonstationary balance equationss...

axial distributions of plasma and floating potentials, electron number density and the electron energy distribution function (eedf) have been measured in the double layer (dl) region of an he discharge constriction. excitation processes in the constriction region are studied. using a linearization method for the nonstationary balance equations and choosing appropriate discharge conditions, the ...
