background: recurrence rate of rotator cuff tears is still high despite the improvements of surgical techniques, materials used and a better knowledge of the healing process of the rotator cuff tendons. large to massive rotator cuff tears are particularly associated with a high failure rate, especially in elderly. augmentation of rotator cuff repairs with extracellular matrix or synthetic patch...

We have proposed a patch-based principal component analysis (PCA) method to deal with face recognition. Many PCA-based methods for face recognition utilize the correlation between pixels, columns, or rows. But the local spatial information is not utilized or not fully utilized in these methods. We believe that patches are more meaningful basic units for face recognition than pixels, columns, or...

The crystallization of mefenamic acid in transdermal patch is a major problem that makes the patch unstable and decreases the drug release. The additive was used to inhibit crystallization of a mefenamic acid. Among the different types of additives, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) K30 and PVP K90 were studied and found to be highly effective in inhibiting the crystallization of the drug. The PVP pre...

without doubt is one important aspects of sustainable forest management the continuing forest regeneration. identify and determine is effective dispersal and distribution pattern of regeneration patches in various types of forest and its evolution, in maintaining biodiversity in natural ecosystems. purpose was chosen of gorazbon district kheyrod forest for study, all patches regeneration were l...

the purpose of this work was to study the effect of various permeation enhancers on the permeation of salbutamol sulphate (ss) buccal patches through buccal mucosa in order to improve the bioavailability by avoiding the first pass metabolism in the liver and possibly in the gut wall and also achieve a better therapeutic effect. the influence of various permeation enhancers, such as dimethyl sul...

the aim of the present study was to develop and investigate the feasibility of delivering nebivolol as a transdermal patch by iontophoresis. the passive and electrically assisted transdermal delivery of nebivolol hydrochloride by iontophoresis will improve the therapeutic efficacy and overcome the difficulties raised in oral drug delivery. because of its extensive hepatic metabolism and low dos...

some soil physical and chemical characteristics were analyzed in order to reveal the relationship between forest soils and regeneration patches. gorazbon district of kheyrud was selected as a case study for the research area. all regeneration patches were recorded using gps device. to assess the spatial structure and to quantify the metrics of regeneration patches, analyzing of landscape metric...
