introduction: anesthetic agents, blood pressure, arterial ph and blood gases have found to influence on the pathophysiology of experimental stroke. despite, there are very few comparative studies about effects of anesthetic agents in animal model of cerebral ischemia. therefore, in this study, we investigated the effects of chloral hydrate and pentobarbital anesthesia, as comparative study, on ...

the purpose of this paper was to review the commercially available periodontal dressings, their physical and chemical properties, biocompatibility and therapeutic effects. electronic search of scientific papers from 1956 to 2012 was carried out using pubmed, scopus and wiley interscience search engines using the searched terms periodontal dressing, periodontal pack. numerous in vitro and in viv...

at present, many drugs are used for inhibition of uterine contractions, but the proportions of preterm labors are increasing. although magnesium sulfate is the most commonly prescribed parenteral tocolytic agent, but it’s optimal use has yet to be delineated. in this study a high-dose protocol for magnesium sulfate tocolytic therapy was compared with a low-dose regimen. one hundred patients adm...

objective: maintaining the health of oral tissues is a major goal in dentistry. however, limitations in dental materials, instruments, procedures and medications prevent achievement of this goal. advances in nanotechnology have paved the way to approach this goal. this study reviews the advances on nanotechnology in dentistry. review of literatures: in this review study, google scholar, pubmed,...

background:chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (itp) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by a low platelet count due to reduced production and higher destruction of the platelets. therapy is aimed at increasing the patient’s platelet count to safe levels and includes a wide variety of treatments, which has a large impact on the patient’s quality of life. health related quality of li...

multi agent markov decision processes (mmdps), as the generalization of markov decision processes to the multi agent case, have long been used for modeling multi agent system and are used as a suitable framework for multi agent reinforcement learning. in this paper, a generalized learning automata based algorithm for finding optimal policies in mmdp is proposed. in the proposed algorithm, mmdp ...

nine organic substrates viz., rice grains, sorghum grains, wheat grains, millet grains, wheat straw, rice husk, cow dung, sawdust, and poultry manure were used for mass multiplication of trichoderma harzianum. of these,sorghum grains followed by millet grains were the best substrates. the poultry manure appeared to be the most unsuitable substrate, whereas rice grains, wheat grains, wheat straw...
