LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE of the heart has received little attention in the past but its potential importance has been recognized recently by several investigators.1-5 Review of studies of cardiac lymphatics4' 6 shows that many details of the anatomy of the system are still unknown, largely because of limitations of the technics of investigation. The small size and delicate structure of peripheral lym...

Phenotypic differences in analgesic sensitivity to codeine (3-methoxymorphine) results from polymorphisms in cytochrome P450-2D6, which catalyzes O-demethylation of codeine to morphine. However, O-demethylation reportedly is not required for analgesic activity of the 7,8-saturated codeine congeners dihydrocodeine, hydrocodone, and oxycodone. This study determined the potency and efficacy of the...

Rosa damascena as a holy ancient plant with modern uses in perfumery and therapeutic processes, should be more investigated due to its utilization food ingredients, preclinical clinical studies, cosmetics industry. Here, we have evaluated the proline content, total phenol of sepal petal, oil essential (EO) composition different damask rose ecotypes [(Oroumieh; OR), (Golab; GB), (Oskou; OS), (Lo...

Mobile technologies and more precisely apps have disrupted technology scenario. Bring your own application (BYOA) is a new trend that has emerged after the “bring your own device” (BYOD) vogue. However, and in spite of its intrinsic benefits, the trend presents also several caveats and Enterprise app stores are seen as a way to tackle these risks. In this paper, authors present ModEAS, a system...

Social reformers such as John Stuart Mill and John Dewey have long expressed concern about a tension between democratic principles and organizational practices that appear undemocratic.' More recently, a substantial body of academic literature advocating changes in organizations to make them more democratic has been produced.2 Change has been advocated on a variety of normative grounds. In a no...

in this paper, surface and piezoelectric effects on the vibration behavior of nanowires (nws) are investigated by using a timoshenko beam model. the electric field equations and the governing equations of motion for the piezoelectric nws are derived with the consideration of surface effects. by the exact solution of the governing equations, an expression for the natural frequencies of nws with ...

statins are most effective pharmacologically agents to decrease total plasma cholesterol level by competitive inhibition of hmg-co a reductase. apart from the well-known ldl and cholesterol lowering effect, statins have been postulated to exert other beneficial effects also called pleotropic or non-lipid effects. better understanding of various pleotropic effects of statins has prompted a new s...
