INTRODUCTION The technique most commonly used for penile lengthening is the release of the suspensory ligament in combination with an inverted V-Y skin plasty. This technique has drawbacks such as the possibility of reattachment of the penis to the pubis, a hump that forms at the base of the penis, in addition to alteration in the angle of erection. AIM In this work, we describe a new techniq...

Because of their high nutritional value, the demand for scallops is increasing year by year. In process improving people’s living standards, ready-to-eat characteristics and dry sales this product make its shelling particularly important in production process. However, mechanism ultra-high pressure has not yet been clarified. Therefore, in-depth study structural change scallop connection interf...

Highly-stretchable self-standing curdlan (1,3-?-d-glucan) hydrogels were prepared via chemical cross-linking using various cross-linkers, including ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether, 1,4-butandiol and 1,6-hexanediol ether. Tensile testing of the revealed that had good elongation properties with 600%–900% strain from their original length regardless cross-linker length. Stretched-dried-gel films ...

Severe cutaneous adverse drug reaction (SCAR) is considered to be a multifactorial drug side effect. This study was designed to investigate the epidemiology and human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A and -B gene polymorphisms in pediatric patients with SCAR admitted in tertiary referral center, southwestern of Iran from 2013 to 2017. Demographic data, past allergy and autoimmune history, clinical pres...

Electrically-induced behaviuor was compared in the non-stretched and uniaxially stretched poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylenechlorofluoroethylene) terpolymer a member of the relaxor polymer family that exhibits fast response speeds, a giant electrostriction, high electric energy density and a large electrocaloric effect. Although the temperature dependence of the low-field dielectric con...

Results: Coverage for BCG, OPV3, DPT3 & Measles were 92.04%, 85.23%, 83.71% & 82.20% respectively. BCG scar was seen in 83.95% of children out of those who received BCG. The proportions of fully immunized children were 79.55%. Unimmunized children were 4.16%. Dropout rate was 9.05% for BCG-DPT3, 10.69% for BCG-Measles & 7.53% for DPT1-DPT3. Compared to NFHS3 (2005-06) as well as DLHS3 (Gandhina...
