STUDY OBJECTIVE Orotracheal intubation (OTI) is commonly used to establish a definitive airway in major trauma victims, with several different cervical spine immobilization techniques and laryngoscope blade types used. This experimental, randomized, crossover trial evaluated the effects of manual in-line stabilization and cervical collar immobilization and 3 different laryngoscope blades on cer...

In this paper, covalent immobilization of beta amylase enzyme on the surface of modified magnetic nano particles (ZnFe2O4@SiO2-NH2) is reported. For doing so, at first, the magnetic nanoparticles of ZnFe2O4 were synthesized by chemical co-precipitation method and then tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and 3-aminopropyltriethoxy sil...

Surface charge density and distribution dependence of a nanochannel electro-osmotic flow was examined using a molecular dynamics (MD) model. Systems consisting of Na and Cl− ions in water confined between crystalline walls with varying negative charge on inner surfaces in an external electric field were investigated. At low surface charge densities, water flows as expected by common interpretat...

Thrombosis and hemocyte damage are the main problems of applied non-coated biomaterials to cardiac surgery that remain unsolved. The present study is aimed at the chemical modification of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) for applications in cardiac surgery and the biological property assessment of modified PVC. Sodium alginate (SA)/heparin (HEP) composites were covalently immobilized onto the surface o...

Over the past years, DNA biosensors have been developed to analyze DNA interaction and damage that have important applications in biotechnological researches. The immobilization of DNA onto a substrate is one key step for construction of DNA electrochemical biosensors. In this report, a direct approach has been described for immobilization of single strand DNA onto carboxylic acid-functionalize...

background: enzymes are well known as sensitive catalysts in the laboratory and industrial scale. to improve their properties and for using their significant potential in various reactions as a useful catalyst the stability of enzymes can often require improvement. enzymes immobilization on solid supports such as epoxy- functionalized ferric silica nanocomposite can be effective way to improve ...

STUDY OBJECTIVES Pressure-immobilization bandages are used in countries where neurotoxic snake envenomations are common. They impede lymphatic egress from the bite site and delay systemic venom toxicity. The effectiveness of these devices has not been evaluated in coral snake envenomations. We investigated the efficacy of pressure-immobilization bandages in delaying the onset of systemic toxici...

the pupose of this paper is modeling of partial digest problem (pdp) as a mathematical programming problem. in this paper we present a new viewpoint of pdp. we formulate the pdp as a continuous optimization problem and develope a method to solve this problem. finally we constract a linear programming model for the problem with an additional constraint. this later model can be solved by the simp...
