some otolaryngologists administer topical phenylephrine for bleeding control in adenoidectomy surgery. absorption of this drug from surgical site can lead to increase in blood pressure due to vasoconstriction and then bradycardia related to baroreceptore reflex.  our case was an intraoperative arrest of a 9-yrs-old girl related to administration of topical phenylephrine during adenoidectomy how...

For determination of breath-alcohol concentration (BrAC) the examined subject has to perform a breath test with forced expiration. During this test essential physical quantities change continuously. Ethanol concentration, breath temperature, and breath flow are such important quantities. Significant results can only be obtained if concentration (BrAC) and temperature have reached final values a...

conclusions combination therapy with tretinoin plus topical corticosteroids is safe and effective and provides an alternative in the treatment of patients with vitiligo. objectives recent studies suggest that administration of topical tretinoin, with a corticosteroid, diminishes skin atrophy without impacting the steroid’s anti-inflammatory effects. patients and methods a placebo-controlled, pa...

We describe the use of reverse Monte Carlo refinement to extract structural information from angle-resolved data of a Bragg peak. Starting with small-angle neutron scattering data, the positional order of an ensemble of flux lines in superconducting Nb is revealed. We discuss the uncovered correlation functions in the light of topical theories, in particular, the "Bragg glass" paradigm.

PURPOSE Vasostatin 48 (VS48) is a peptide of 48 amino acids derived from calreticulin. This study aimed to investigate the effects of topical application of VS48 eyedrops on experimental choroidal neovascularization (CNV). METHODS Recombinant VS48 was expressed and purified as a thioredoxin (TRX)-fused protein, TRX-VS48. The anti-angiogenic effects of TRX-VS48 were validated by migration and ...

the purpose of the research was to formulate microspheres of acyclovir (acv) using mucoadhesive polymers, sodium alginate and chitosan. calcium chloride was used as the ionotropic gelling agent. sodium alginate was crosslinked by calcium chloride leading to a slower release of the drug. chitosan which is a cationic polymer interacted with sodium alginate, an anionic polymer, to form an interpol...

in this paper, we consider a new class of analytic functions in the unit disk using polynomials of order alpha. we give some sufficient conditions for functions belonging to this class.
