In order to formulate an efficient and durable mucoadhesive drug delivery system, careful consideration of formulation-related parameters is critical. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of the presence of various types and concentrations of surfactants within or outside Carbopol 934 (C934) as well as hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose (HPMC) solid compacts, on their duration of mucoa...

background: due to difficulty of obtaining a 24h urine (especially in children), a random urine calcium sample is recommended to detect of hypercalciuria. however, recent studies have shown that the urinary calcium/creatinine ratio varies with age and geographic areas. so, the aim of this study was determining the normal value of urinary calcium to creatinine ratio in healthy adolescent’s child...

introduction emerging hypotheses suggest a causal role for prenatal androgen exposure in some cases of autism spectrum disorders (asd). the ratios of the lengths of the bones of the 2nd to the 4th digits (2d:4d) are purported to be markers for prenatal androgen exposure and to be established early in gestation. ratio of second and fourth digits (2d:4d)  is usually used as a proxy for prenatal t...

it is well-known that the behavior of soil-structure systems can be well described using a limited number of non-dimensional parameters. this is the outcome of researches based on the premise that the foundation is bonded to the ground. here, it is shown the concept can be extended to systems with foundation uplift. a set of non-dimensional parameters are introduced which controls the main feat...

Background: Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), lymphocyte-monocyte ratio (LMR) and platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) have a prognostic value in several types of diseases such as cancers and they vary in different races. So, we aimed to evaluate the normal range of these markers among healthy people to determine the normal value in Iranian population. Methods: In the present study, cross-sectiona...
