Background: Lavender’s essential oil is commonly used in aromatherapy and massage. Its major clinical benefits are on the central nervous system. Linalyl acetate and linalool are the most predominant chemical constituents in the essential oil of Lavandula angustifolia.   Objective: Comparison of super critical fluid extraction (SCFE) and hydrodistillation (HD) methods on Lavander΄s essential ...

conclusions the prevalence of undiagnosed ihd in the hd patients was considerable. we, therefore, suggest that ihd be assessed in hd patients, especially those at high risk due to positive family history of cad, hypertension, left ventricular hypertrophy, diabetes mellitus, kt/v < 1.2, low ferritin levels, and high levels of intact parathyroid hormone. results sixty-nine hd patients were studie...

OBJECTIVE To assess the timing of modern contraceptive uptake among married and never-married women in Nigeria. DESIGN A retrospective cross-sectional study. DATA AND METHOD We used nationally representative 2013 Demographic and Health Survey data in Nigeria. Modern contraceptive uptake time was measured as the period between first sexual intercourse and first use of a modern contraceptive....

BACKGROUND Use of modern contraceptive methods has been shown to reduce unwanted pregnancy, high parity and maternal mortality. Intrauterine contraceptive devices which are among the safest and most effective reversible contraceptives available, are particularly suitable for women in developing countries as they are affordable, convenient to use, do not require re -supply visits and are very co...

background: the relationships between adiponectin and clinical outcomes in hemodialysis (hd) patients remain highly controversial. meanwhile, the association between adiponectin and the peripheral artery disease (pad) has not been well studied in hd patients without diabetic mellitus. materials and methods: the ankle-brachial index was measured in hd patients. adiponectin levels in 105 hd patie...

Abstract We present the visual orbits of four spectroscopic binary stars, HD 61859, 89822, 109510, and 191692, using long baseline interferometry with CHARA Array. also obtained new radial velocities from echelle spectra APO 3.5 m, CTIO 1.5 Fairborn Observatory 2.0 m telescopes. By combining astrometric observations, we solve for full, three-dimensional determine stellar masses to 1%–12% uncert...

Appropriate animal modeling is vital for the successful development of novel contraceptive devices. Advances in reproductive biology have identified novel pathways for contraceptive intervention. Here we review species-specific anatomic and physiologic considerations impacting preclinical contraceptive testing, including efficacy testing, mechanistic studies, device design, and modeling off-tar...

Canada in the mid-1980s, we know virtually nothing about contraceptive use among Canadians during the 1990s.2 The 1995 General Social Survey (GSS-95) collected detailed information on contraceptive use, as well as fertility and union histories, from a nationally representative sample of Canadian women and men aged 15 and older. The main objective of this article is to use these data to update o...
