The current gold standard for treating postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) due to atony is intravenous (IV) oxytocin1. However, access to this specific drug and the capacity for its timely intravenous administration are lacking in settings with limited resources, especially at lower levels of the health care system. Misoprostol, a tablet that requires no additional supplies and/or specialized skills to...

Active Ingredient: All Clarithromycin Formulations Clarithromycin is a semi-synthetic macrolide antibiotic obtained by substitution of a CH3O group for the hydroxyl (OH) group at position 6 of the erythromycin lactonic ring. Specifically clarithromycin is 6-O-methyl erythromycin A. The white to off-white antibiotic powder is bitter, practically odorless, essentially insoluble in water, and slig...

In this article, we present 5 cases of uncommon anomalous vertebral arteries and discuss the possible embryologic etiologies. These cases include a left vertebral artery as the 2nd branch off the left subclavian, a left vertebral artery with 2 origins, a right vertebral artery arising as the last branch off the aorta, a right vertebral artery arising as the 2nd branch off the right subclavian a...

Due to rapid industrialization and urbanization, environmental pollution has become a major concern in developing countries; therefore, the main objective of the current study is to determine heavy metal contents of Pb, and Ni for 42 topsoil samples, collected from 14 green spaces along the 1st and 2nd ring roads in Hamedan City in 2016. For this purpose, after determining some chemical propert...

We demonstrate that the 1st- and 2nd-order characteristics of a visual stimulus can have a profound influence on each other in terms of perceived position. We use the parameter of spatial separation to selectively manipulate the effect of one characteristic upon the other. 1st-order features have their largest effect upon the perceived position of 2nd-order structure when separation is small, w...

In the baboon (Papio species), the two nonallelic ‘y-genes produce “y-chains that differ at a minimum at residue 75. where isoleucine (“y-chain) or valine ( y) may be present. This situation obtains in baboons that are sometimes designated as Papio anubis, Papio hamadryas, and Papio papio. However, in Papio cynocephalus. although the “ychains are identical with those in the above mentioned type...

OBJECTIVE To assess the effect of recalibration of the Roche 3rd-generation cTnT assay with recombinant human cardiac troponin T (cTnT) standards on clinical decision limits. MATERIALS AND METHODS Serum samples from 77 patients (66 +/- 16 years) admitted to the coronary care unit were assayed using the 2nd- and 3rd-generation cTnT assays. RESULTS There was excellent agreement (r = 0.99 Spea...

We report two experiments examining first/second-person blocking effects on the Chinese long-distance reflexive ziji during on-line processing. Participants read sentences with varying matrix and embedded subjects (Exp1: 1st-person pronoun/3rd-person name; Exp2: 2nd-person pronoun/3rd-person name) and answered comprehension questions probing their interpretations of ziji. Work on English found ...
