The purpose of the present study was to develop and assess a novel sustained-release drug delivery system of Bimatoprost (BIM). Chitosan polymeric inserts were prepared using the solvent casting method and characterized by swelling studies, infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, drug content, scanning electron microscopy and in vitro drug release. Biodistribution of 99mTc-BIM...

PURPOSE The purposes of this project were to assess the effect of four different shoe inserts on the path of the center of pressure (COP), to quantify the effect of these inserts on selected knee joint moments during running, and to assess the potential of COP data to predict the effects of inserts/orthotics on knee joint moments. METHODS Kinematics for the lower extremities, resultant ankle ...

To prevent prescription errors caused by information systems, a database to store complete and accurate drug information in a user-friendly format is needed. In previous studies, the primary method for obtaining data stored in a database is to extract drug information from package inserts by employing pattern matching or more sophisticated methods such as text mining. However, it is difficult t...

In this research, heat transfer enhancement and simultaneous effect of that on pressure drop inside condensers with twisted tape inserts are investigated. A refrigeration system is designed for attaining to maximum level of heat transfer with minimum pressure drop. The test condenser is a double pipe heat transformer with inner and outer diameter of 10.7mm and 12.7mm for internal pipe, respecti...

Alu elements are trans-mobilized by the autonomous non-LTR retroelement, LINE-1 (L1). Alu-induced insertion mutagenesis contributes to about 0.1% human genetic disease and is responsible for the majority of the documented instances of human retroelement insertion-induced disease. Here we introduce a SINE recovery method that provides a complementary approach for comprehensive analysis of the im...

Introduction: Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (PE) remains the primary bearing surface of choice in total knee replacements (TKR). Traditionally Archard’s Law is used to predict wear rates in hip and knee prostheses. This assumes that the volume of wear between two articulating surfaces is proportional to the applied load and sliding distance. However it has been shown that this is a s...

The article presents the study of political communication on social network “Facebook”. object is motivation using Russian inserts and potential influence effectiveness discourse. Effectiveness related to persuasion, goal addressee in process main concept rhetoric, therefore, a rhetorical discourse analysis was used for research. focus presented research language posts by Lithuanian politicians...

background the efficiency of nasal surgeries can be determined by objective or subjective methods. we have assessed the effect of nasal obstruction after different nasal surgeries using acoustic rhinometry (ar) and nasal obstruction symptom evaluation (nose) scale. methods between may 2011 and may 2012, 40 young adult patients and 10 healthy volunteers as control group who referred to otorhinol...

Forming micro-dimples nearer to the cutting edge on rack face of tungsten carbide inserts will positively influence machinability. However, it is challenging machine perfect micro-dimple dimensions by utilizing available machining techniques. Finite element analysis can be an efficient way observe dimple-texture area density, size, and various shapes inserts' This paper numerically analyses imp...

introduction: nose morphology depends on gender, ethnicity, and environmental conditions. it can be used in identification of the race and sex of persons whose identity is unknown. nasal index is a useful tool in anthropometry. methods: in this study, nasal parameters of iranian males and females students were measured (nasal height, nasal width, and nasal index). this study was conducted on 20...
