propose: standard electroporation and electrochemotherapy caused the endothe- lial cell permeability and reduction in tumor blood flow. the effects of low voltage and high frequency electroporation on the endothelial cells permeability and viability were expected. therefore, the propose of present study was to evaluate the effect of electroporation with bleomycin or alone on viability and perme...

this paper reviews the possible effects determined on polymeric food packaging films by the simultaneous application of pressure (p) and temperature (t) in high pressure pasteurization and sterilization treatments of packaged foodstuffs. both theoretical modeling and experimental issues are discussed. in fact reversible and irreversible effects that could occur in single film as well as in mult...

pressure refers to the feelings an athlete has about performing in a competitive situation. the primary aim of this study was to examine kinematic changes of tennis serves in increasing competitive pressure. 20 semi-professional right-handed male tennis players completed 120 serves under low (normal) and high competitive pressure phases. pressure checks (heart rate and perceived competitive sta...

Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is an ophthalmic emergency which requires early diagnosis and treatment with high dose systemic corticosteroids in order to prevent permanent visual loss. However, systemic corticosteroids have significant ocular side effects including cataract formation, raised intraocular pressure, and less commonly, central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR). We report a case of visua...

nowadays, compressible flow transmission pipelines are used in many industrial processes. pipelines in chemical processes, gas turbine power plants, natural gas transmission lines, and high pressure steam transmission pipelines are some industrial examples. therefore, learning the manner of treatment of a transient compressible fluid flow in pipelines with junctions and branches is important. i...

in this paper, the dynamic simulation for a high pressure regulator is performed to obtain the regulator behavior. to analyze the regulator performance, the equation of motion for inner parts, the continuity equation for diverse chambers and the equation for mass flow rate were derived. because of nonlinearity and coupling, these equations are solved using numerical methods and the results are ...

background: the effective therapeutic dose of pralidoxime methylsulphate for organophosphate (op) poisoning is necessary to be clarified. this study was designed to comparatively assess the blood level of pralidoxime (bpl) and clinical outcomes in op poisoned patients treated with intermittent dosing and patients treated with continuous infusion. methods: this was a prospective, open labelled, ...

abstract        background and objective: measurement of amino acids is an important tool for metabolic studies and evaluation of patients’ clinical condition. the aim of this study was to analyze the plasma amino acids using reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography techniques (rp-hplc) with pre-column derivatization by o-phthalaldehyde (opa) in combination with 3- mercaptopropionic...

Permanent visual loss is a devastating yet preventable complication of cryptococcal meningitis. Early and aggressive management of cerebrospinal fluid pressure in conjunction with antifungal therapy is required. Historically, the mechanisms of visual loss in cryptococcal meningitis have included optic neuritis and papilloedema. Hence, the basis of visual loss therapy has been steroid therapy an...
