s | 45 Methods: Gabapentin 10, 30mg/kg; diclofenac 5mg/kg(reference drug), vehicle(saline) were injected intraperitoneally before 100μl of 1% carrageenan administration into the right hind paws of the rats. Paw thickness was measured by a gauge calipers(Vernier Calipers) before (0th hour) and in every hour during 6 hours after induction of inflammation. Paw thickness of treated groups were comp...

One common parameter considered helpful to identify the origin of bite wounds has been the distance between the canine teeth marks left on the victim. The reliability of this parameter to differentiate the origin of the marks (human or animal) was evaluated using a sample of: a) domestic dogs (n=50) weighting between 4.9 kg and 46 kg of undefined breed and b) human beings (n=50). Dog intercanin...

BACKGROUND Epidemiological and clinical studies frequently use echocardiography to measure LV wall thicknesses and chamber dimension for estimating quantitative measures of LV mass. While echocardiographic M-mode LV images have traditionally been measured using hand-held calipers and strip-chart paper tracings, digitized M-mode LV image measurements made directly on the computer screen using el...

INTRODUCTION Currently, stone size cannot be accurately measured while performing flexible ureteroscopy (URS). We developed novel software for ureteroscopic, stone size measurement, and then evaluated its performance. METHODS A novel application capable of measuring stone fragment size, based on the known distance of the basket tip in the ureteroscope's visual field, was designed and calibrat...

In this study, we develop an ultrasensitive nanoparticle (NP)-film caliper that functions with high resolution (angstrom scale) in response to both the dimensions and refractive index of the spacer sandwiched between the NPs and the film. The anisotropy of the plasmonic gap mode in the NP-film caliper can be characterized readily using spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) without the need for furthe...

Indirect estimation of total body fat has been employed increasingly in recent years in an attempt to assess various aspects of body composition. In the most widely used method skinfold thickness is estimated by means of Harpenden calipers (Edwards, Hammond, Healey, Tanner & Whitehouse, 1955; Fletcher, 1962); these require a certain amount of practice in use. Since the instrument measures a ski...
