In the present study, we investigated pharmacodynamic interactions among AO-620, a losigamone analog, and two conventional antiepileptic drugs, valproate (VPA) and phenobarbital (PB). Experiments were conducted in the maximal electroshock test in mice. Isobolographic analysis of the obtained data revealed pure additive interactions between AO-620 and PB applied at three dose ratios of 1:1, 1:3 ...

Abstract: The number of people with diabetes is expected to rise from the current estimated 150 million to 220 million in 2010 and 300 million in 2025, and 90% is Type 2 diabetes or non-insulin dependant diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). Voglibose, one of the most important α-glucosidase inhibitors, delays the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates, thereby inhibiting postprandial hyperglycemia and...

Introduction: Alveolar osteitis (AO) is one of the most common postoperative complications after third molar surgery. Various techniques have been used to reduce the risk of AO. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the effect of Chlorhexidine (CHX) bioadhesive gel in preventing the development of AO. Methods: Patients with bilateral impacted mandibular third molars underwent surgical ex...

background: electrochemical methods, as one of the advanced oxidation processes (aops), have recently been applied to remove different contaminants from water and wastewater. this study compares the performance of anodic oxidation (ao) and electro-fenton (ef) methods on waste sludge treatment. methods: this experimental study was performed on real sludge and the effect of operating parameters s...

This paper revisits the AO algorithm introduced by Martelli and Montanari and made popular by Nilsson The paper s main contributions are proving that the value of a node monotonically increases as the AO search progresses proving that selective updates of the value function in the AO algorithm are correct and providing guidance to researchers interested in the AO implementation and are proven u...

Background: Abdominal obesity (AO) is a global health problem. Although few studies indicated that Nordic diet (ND) was associated with AO, no evidence exists for the association between ND and AO outside the Nordic countries. In this study, we aimed to determine the relationship of ND with AO and anthropometric indices among Iranian women. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we evaluated a...
