background: it is not clear whether the use of volumetric peristaltic infusion pumps, affect the quality of the erythrocytes during packed cell transfusion or not. in the present study in vitro quality of red blood cells was assessed after using this type of infusion pumps in a prospective study. materials and methods: in this study 60 units of packed red cells were examined before and after pa...

objective: this prospective study performed to evaluate blood biomarkers alterations with administration of propofol for maintenance of anaesthesia during long oral and maxillofacial surgeries in order to estimate the risk of propofol infusion syndrome (pris). this rare syndrome often would be happened in long duration or high dose infusion which is characterized by the combination of metabolic...

objective: hyperglycemia is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in diabetic patients following coronary artery bypass grafting. tight glycemic control in perioperative period can reduce these events. the goal of this study was to determine whether combination of continuous infusion and subcutaneous glargine as a basal insulin could improve glycemic control. material and methods: d...

Liposomes are widely used as drug delivery systems in different forms including osmotic pumps, infusion and IV injection. In spite of these, there is no data available about their behavior under convective flow (e.g. infusion or osmotic pumps) and upon stagnation in such drug delivery systems. As a part of a series of investigations in this area, the present study investigates the effects of vi...

abstract recent interest in teaching thinking has lead different researchers to examine different approaches in education to find effective methods and approaches for teaching thinking. through a qualitative case analysis, this study attempted to identify the effects of the infusion model of teaching thinking implemented through a dialogic approach on a phd candidate’s critical thinking skills....

background: anti-hla-antibodies are known to affect the allograft survival in transplant recipient patients. objective: the aim of this study was to evaluate the association between anti-hla antibodies and kidney allograft outcomes, particularly in recipients with concur-rent donor bone marrow cell infusion (dbmi). methods: between june 2006 and may 2007, forty living unrelated donor kidney tra...

background: adjuvants such as ketamine, promethazine and paracetamol could bring up patients satisfaction and control harmful effects of opioids besides lessening their needed doses, as seen by fentanyl/paracetamol and fentanyl/ketamine combination before. the current study headed to compare paracetamol and ketamine in addition to fentanyl applied by infusion pumps in order to pain relief follo...

Introduction: S100B is a protein released from astrocytes, which controls neuroglial relationship and probably plays a role in memory and synaptic plasticity. Study of the functional relationship between astrocytes and neurons is of great importance. The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of S100B infusion into the CA1 region of the hippocampus, on memory performance in male ...
