the quality of the river water is assessed in different months in different stations to evaluate the change in the quality in re1ation with the various point sources along the river. thirteen parameters were measured in the samples manually taken from three meters off shore in 20 cm. depth in four points representing the quality in four reaches under consideration. the results revealed that nat...

we studied the prevalence of iron-deficiency anaemia in women of reproductive age, between 15 to 49, with a mean age of 31-56±1.34 years, attending mirzakoochak khan hospital ob. gyn. center for routine gynecological and obstetrical examination. we compa'tred mean values for the serum tests and haematological data and investigated etiological factors such as age, marital status, education, spou...

Within bubble number limits of the varying permeability and reduced gradient bubble models, it is shown that a linear form of the saturation curve for hyperbaric exposures and a nearly constant decompression ratio for hypobaric exposures are simultaneously recovered from the phase volume constraint. Both limits are maintained within a single bubble number saturation curve. A bubble term, varyin...

BACKGROUND During conditions of poor perfusion, the accuracy of conventional extremity-based pulse oximeters may be limited. Limited evidence suggests that forehead perfusion may be better preserved during such periods, but pediatric experience with newer forehead reflectance sensors is limited. We prospectively compared the accuracy of a forehead reflectance sensor, the Max-Fast, with a new-ge...

laparoscopic and open ovariohysterectomy were compared for the following parameters: surgical time, incision length, suture number, saturation of oxyhemoglobin (spo2), heart rate, complications,cbc findings, melbourne pain scale (mps) and gross pathology. mps pain scores were evaluated using mann-whitney u test. other parameters were evaluated using studen's t test. there were no significa...

MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective review was performed of a prospectively collected database of all microsurgical breast reconstructions from 2008 to 2015. A novel text messaging system was introduced in 2013 and programmed to send text messages alert when the tissue oximetry readings suggested potential flap compromise based on established thresholds. Patient demographics and complication...

We investigated oil recovery from porous rock using nanoscale colloidal dispersions, formed by adsorption of an anionic polymer [poly-(4styrenesulfonic acid-co-maleic acid); PSS-co-MA] and a zwitterionic surfactant [N-tetradecyl-N, N-dimethyl-3-ammonio-1-propanesulfonate, TPS] onto silica nanoparticles. In emulsion, dispersion enhanced the stability oil-water interface in absence particle aggre...
