Background: establishing a regular respiratory condition in the infants is one of the basic considerations in NICU.  Newborns show noticeable breath alterations in response to even low concentrations of some fragrance. Aim: determining the effect of breast milk odor on oxygen saturation and respiratory rate in premature infants. Methods: In this four-group randomized clinical trial, 180 prematu...

Methods suggested for the determination of carbon monoxide in blood may be considered as belonging to either of these two classes: first, those in which the relative content of carbon monoxide in blood is measured; second, those in which the absolute quantity of carbon monoxide per given quantity of blood is determined. In the first class, the result is expressed as the percentage saturation of...

serum iron and total iron binding capacity anti percentage saturation were measured in 100 apparently normal individuals (50 men and 50 women) , the ages of the men were from ?2• 50 and of the women from 19-30, average serum iron in men was i33amgjloo ml and in women 112.5mg/ 100 ml, the average values for total iron binding ca paci ty were 306,?mg/ for men and ?90mg/ 100 rnl, for women, percen...

AIMS To investigate the clinical value and practice of reflective testing, a new term to describe the practice of adding on tests when reporting or clinically authorising results. METHODS A consultant medical biochemist collected over a calendar year (2001) copies of clinical biochemistry reports on samples to which he had added on either iron studies (iron, total iron binding capacity (TIBC)...

the simultaneous flow of oil and water in porous media is described by relative permeability curves, mainly derived from laboratory experiments. relative permeability is of paramount importance in predicting reservoir production performance and drive mechanisms and its value depends largely on the volume fraction of fluids present in the test samples. nowadays x-ray scanners are one of the most...

Purpose: To determine the usefulness of pulse oximetry in patients receiving iloprost infusion for treatment of critical limb ischemia unsuitable for revascularization. Material and methods: A total of 42 patients [28 male, mean age 61.80±5.81 years] were included. Patients were those who considered as unsuitable for revascularization based on angiographic study and received single-dose infusio...
