Bioactive products from snail slime of “Helix” specie have potential applications in preventing and/or treating several human diseases and in cancer diagnosis. However, the poor pharmacokinetics characteristics of these natural compounds limit their use. Nanotechnology offers promising solutions for the enhanced formulation of these molecules through the synthesis of nanosized drug del...

objective: curcumin is extracted from curcuma longa and regulates the intracellular signal pathways which control the growth of cancerous cell, inflammation, invasion and apoptosis. curcumin molecules have special intrinsic features that can target the intracellular enzymes, genome (dna) and messengers (rna). a wide range of studies have been conducted on the physicochemical traits and pharmaco...

The application of natural polysaccharides in novel drug delivery systems to deliver the bioactive agents has been hampered by the synthetic polymers. The main benefits of the natural polysaccharides are their being biodegradable, biocompatible, non-toxic, richly available and less expensive. Because of the advances in drug delivery technology, natural polysaccharides are included in novel drug...

background: labor pain is one of the most severe pains which has ever evaluated and its fear is one of the reasons women wouldn't go for natural delivery. considering different factors which affect experiencing pain, this study aimed to explain women's experiences of pain during childbirth. methods: this was a qualitative phenomenological study. the study population was composed of 14 women in ...

Background: Painless delivery using IV sedation is a method in which the pain and anxiety delivery process will be reduced by IV injection of analgesic and sedative drugs to the mother. In this method the health of neonate is taken into account. Neonate’s health can be measured by Apgar score system. This research was carried out to study Apgar score of the minutes 5 and 10 in neonates born...

abstract background and purpose: maternal request for cesarean section is a major influential factor in the rising trend of this childbirth mode. lack of knowledge and negative attitudes toward natural delivery are the main causes of this issue. this study aimed to review the strategies to increase the knowledge and change the attitudes and request of iranian pregnant women for caesarean sectio...
