conventional transdermal drug delivery systems (tdds) have been designed for drug delivery through the skin. these systems use the permeability property of stratum corneum, the outermost surface layer of the skin. applying polymeric micro and nanofibers in drug delivery has recently attracted great attention and the electrospinning technique is the preferred method for polymeric micro-nanofiber...

conclusions there is no statistically significant relationship between preterm delivery and type of sludge. results the prevalence of preterm delivery was 14/3%. the frequencies of term delivery in mothers with dense, light and no sludge were 78/6%, 82/1% and 96/4 % respectively, and for preterm delivery they were 21/4%, 17/9% and 3/6% respectively. but there was no statistically significant re...

objective: dendrimers are three-dimensional nanostructures that have numerous applications in medicine, including drug delivery and imaging. although anionic dendrimer polyethylene glycol–citrate has a high potential to increase solubility of water-insoluble drugs and drug delivery, its multi-step synthesis procedure is time consuming. in addition, toxic substances such as dichloromethane are u...

objective: to investigate the clinical advantage of several prognostic factors for predicting preterm delivery. materials and methods: eighty and six patients with a singleton pregnancy admitted to vali-asr hospital underwent genetic amniocentesis between the 15th and 23th weeks were included in this study. maternal serum c-reactive protein (crp), transvaginal sonographic measurement of cervica...

background: depression is a kind of sorrow that decreases the level of juiciness. most studies have maintained that psy­chological risk factors have the most profound effect on the development of postnatal depression (pnd). we compared the postnatal depression among the women with elective caesarean and vaginal delivery.  methods: this cross- sectional study was carried out on 120 women 1-4 mon...

parcel delivery is a complex logistic service, as it serves many small or medium-sized customers who may send or receive parcels. modeling such delivery system needs to integrate two different research areas of hub location and vehicle routing. as it totally depends on the network and the linkage of the nodes, in this paper, some door-to-door service providers are taken into account to provide ...

A method is proposed for delivering an absorbed dose to a target during brachytherapy cervical cancer by using new applicator, which consists of annular part and two uterine canals. The design the applicator makes it possible implement required depth, taking into account anatomical features, widely cover cervix corporis womb with 100 % isodose irradiation, deliver planned dose. patient admitted...
