As the number of systems which offer annotations on digital documents increases, robust anchoring of annotations is a key challenge. It is especially important if the annotator lacks write-access to the document being annotated. For example, if someone makes an annotation on a web page today and the web page changes tomorrow, what happens to the annotation? One approach is simply to “orphan” th...

Thus, present systematic review meta-analysis study aimed investigate effects oral dextrose preventing treating hypoglycemia. To find relevant articles, national databases, including Barekat Gostar, SID, Magira...

introduction early diagnosis of neonatal sepsis is essential for successful treatment. blood culture is a gold standard for diagnosis but the final results are not available until 48-72 hours after culture. interleukin-6 (il-6) as a marker plays a critical role in the induction of c-reactive protein (crp) synthesis in the liver. it has been hypothesized that this cytokine could be detected in b...

intraventricular hemorrhage (ivh) is one of the major causes of the cerebral palsy and mental retardation. prevention and early management of these neurologic developmental problems will require determining the perinatal risk factors associated with this clinical entity. pneumothorax increase the risk of ivh, and cause of pneumothorax has an important effect in severity of ivh. this is a prospe...

meropenem, a carbapenem antibiotic, has a broad-spectrum activity and is active against staphylococcus aureus, streptococcus pneumoniae, haemophilus influencae, moraxella catarrhalis, gram-negative enteric bacilli as escherichia coli, klebsiella, enterobacter, serratia and pseudomonas aeruginosa. meropenem has excellent penetration in body tissues and in cerebrospinal fluid (in the presence of ...

Morphine is an agonist of the µ and k receptors, whose activation results in analgesia. Morphine-like agonists act through the µ opioid receptors to cause pain relief, sedation, euphoria and respiratory depression. Morphine is glucuronidated and sulfated at positions 3 and 6; the plasma concentration ratios correlate positively with birth weight, which probably reflects increased liver weight w...
