background and objectives: pulse oximetry is the most common technique for monitoring hemoglobin oxygen saturation (spo2). different colors and brands of nail polish may cause disturbance in the reading and interpretation of oxygen saturation. the aim of this study was to determine the effect of different colors of nail polish on oxygen saturation measured by pulse oximeter. methods: thirty hea...

objective: in electrochemotherapy (ect), there is an unpleasant sensation of muscle contraction when using a low frequency (1 hz). therefore, by increasing the pulse frequency above the tetanic frequency this painful sensation can be reduced. the aim of the present study is to compare the treatment efficiencies of low and high frequency ect, and estimate the effect of its repeated sessions. mat...

comparison of the effects of two substrates and additives on pulse current electrodeposition of au nanoparticles showed that using indium-tin oxide instead of cu and cysteine instead of potassium iodide can improve morphology, current efficiency, photocatalytic effect and increase the number of nanocrystals. the examinations using the field-emission scanning-electron-microscope (fe-sem) showed ...

Abstract* Introduction: Chronic morphine exposure can cause addiction and affect synaptic plasticity, but the underlying neural mechanisms of this phenomenon remain unknown. Herein we used electrophysiologic approaches in hippocampal CA1 area to examine the effect of chronic morphine administration on short-term plasticity. Methods: Experiments were carried out on hippocampal slices taken f...

Watt’s bath and pulse reverse (PR) electrodeposition is used to produce spherical nickelmultiwall carbon nanotubes (Ni-MWCNT) of 2.00, 0.93, 1.63 and 6.71 μm diameter and a variety ofsize distributions. For 60 cycles, an absolute electrodeposition current of 18 A/dm2 is applied atcurrent ratios of ii = idissolution/ideposition = 0, 0.077, 0.200 and 0.368. A simple exponential equation isfitted ...

pulse irrigation is consisted of an irrigation phase and a resting or non-operative irrigation phase. water intermittent use causes that advance front with less volume water over continuous irrigation is completed, which it effect on the pattern of soil moisture. another important subject in trickle irrigation is water distribution in non- operative irrigation that called redistribution. amount...
