BACKGROUND Emergence agitation is common after nasal surgery. We investigated the effects of intraoperative dexmedetomidine infusion on emergence agitation and quality of recovery after nasal surgery in adult patients. METHODS One hundred patients undergoing nasal surgery were randomized into two groups. The dexmedetomidine group (Group D, n=50) received dexmedetomidine infusion at a rate of ...

We studied four electrophysiological variables (bispectral index (BIS), 95% spectral edge frequency (SEF), median frequency (MF) and auditory evoked potential index (AEP index) in 10 patients during emergence from anaesthesia. We compared correlation of the signals with gradually decreasing calculated blood propofol concentrations, and evaluated the signal differences between preinduction and e...

in order to evaluate the effects of drought stress and planting method on some physiological and biochemical characteristics of two chickpea cultivars (cicer arietinum l.) an experiment was conducted at the research station of college of agriculture, shiraz university using a split factorial based on randomized complete block design in four replications. the main factor was stopping irrigation ...

1- introduction crop development is qualitative changes planned that led the plant to ripening. factors such as water available, nitrogen and photosynthetic materials are affected growth and development. under irrigated conditions expected that all of factors except climate elements be controlled. thus, only climate elements able to change of plant growth and development and under these conditi...

The study was undertaken to compare the efficacy of an estradiol-17β + CIDR based protocol with the conventional ovsynch + CIDR based protocol for synchrony of wave emergence and ovulation in Murrah buffalos. In group I (n=25), on day 0 (beginning of experiment), buffaloes were administered a CIDR device (1.38 g P4) and concurrently received 1.5 mg E-17β. On day 9, the CIDR was removed and a pr...

recently, increase in crop production depends on better seedling establishment, emergence rate and uniformity. thus, an experiment was carried out in a randomized complete block design with 8 fertilizer treatments and 4 replications in 2008 at sari agricultural sciences and natural resources university. the aim of this research was to evaluate effect of vermicompost (vc) on bush bean seedling e...

The aims of this study were to evaluate the effects of light and temperature on seed germination and the effect of light on seedling emergence of Clausena excavata, an invasive exotic species. Seeds were incubated at constant temperatures (10 to 40 ºC), under continuous white light and darkness. Seedling emergence was evaluated under full sun and canopy shade. There was no significant differenc...

abstract main objective of this paper is to evaluate supportive policies of beef producers during the first, second, third and fourth terms of economic, social, and cultural development plans (1989 - 2008).to evaluate the policies, the producers support estimate(pse) index and other indicators (pse %, npc & nac) were used. furthermore, percentages of pse were calculated in different scenarios o...
