BACKGROUND Paracetamol is recommended as first line agent for pain management in osteoarthritis (OA) by various guidelines. The main problem associated with management of osteoarthritis is long term patient compliance to paracetamol due to its frequent dosing. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Paracetamol 650 mg dual release tablet twice daily (PCM 650 dual release) compared to...

conclusions pcm has not been reported in iran until now, but it should be considered as a differential diagnosis when risk factors or symptoms of pcm are detected. case presentation a 72-year-old man had a four-year history of dyspnea, dry cough, and weakness and a recent weight loss of more than 10 kg. first, he was treated with glucocorticoid, but he did not continue this treatment. core need...

many researchers have investigated how to increase the overall efficiency of solar-driven thermal systems. several key parameters, such as collector efficiency and storage tank characteristics, may impose some constraints on the annual solar fraction (asf) of such systems. in this paper, the behaviour of integrating the phase change material (pcm) in sdhw systems is modelled and optimized numer...

In the present paper, an experimental assessment was performed on the transient thermal performance of a heat sink filled by a phase change material (PCM) and PCM embedded with carbon nanofibers (CNFs) and titania (TiO2) nanoparticles as nanostructured materials. In order to enhance the thermal conductivity of PCM, CNFs and TiO2 nanoparticles at different loadings (0.5wt. % and 2 wt.% of CNFs a...

glycine, alanine and valine are taken as amino acids with an equal polar head and with thedifference in the length of hydrocarbon chains. the structural optimizations show the results of theisolated glycine, alanine and valine in the gases phase, at the hartree-fock level by means ofsto-3g,3-21g, 6-31g and 6-31+g basis sets. the calculations were performed for the ten (1-10)solvents using pcm m...

Gypsum has two important states (fresh and hardened states), and the addition of phase change materials (PCM) can vary the properties of the material. Many authors have extensively studied properties in the hardened state; however, the variation of fresh state properties due to the addition of Micronal® DS 5001 X PCM into gypsum has been the object of few investigations. Properties in fresh sta...

Abstract—The objective of this work was to develop a theoretical model to study the dynamic thermal behavior of a flat plate solar collector integrated with a phase change material (PCM). The PCM acted as a heat source for the solar system during low intensity solar radiation and night. The energy balance equations for the various components of the collector as well as for the PCM were formulat...

OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of intensive patient-centered management (PCM) on service utilization and survival. STUDY DESIGN Prospective cohort study of 756 patients in California who had a life-limiting diagnosis with multiple comorbid conditions (75% were oncology patients) and who were covered by a large commercial health maintenance organization from February 2003 through December 2...

Determining privacy properties of software systems is essential for certification in certain domains and gains importance for users of software services. Late discovery of degraded privacy properties during development phases makes fixing issues hard and expensive. Approaches that focus on architectural privacy predictions are rare and often do not integrate well with existing tools for perform...
