170 patients admitted to shariaty hospital pulmonary ward were studied for pulmonary nocardiosis during 17 months (aug 1990-jan 1992). paraffin baiting was used and nocardia asteroides isolated in five cases from sputum, pleural fluid and bronchial washing. the technique used in this study inhibits growth of other organism and yeast and is reliable, simple and cheap for isolation of nocardia fr...

background: the heartworm disease is an infectious disease of dogs with dirofilaria immitis combined with cardiovascular and circulatory abnormalities. the heartworm disease can become a serious health risk when associated with a severe infection. in this study, a male, 8 year-old dog that died suddenly was necropsied and all tissues were examined grossly. methods: major organs including heart,...

liquid paraffin has been suggested as a good laxative comparing to lactulose as a treatment option in pediatric constipation. this study was performed to compare liquid paraffin with lactulose in pediatric constipation. a total of 247 patients (127 males and 120 females) aged 2-12 years (mean 4.1 ± 2.7 years) with chronic functional constipation were included in an 8 week, randomized, controlle...

hazelnuts are usually propagated by suckers or layering. however, other methods of propagation have been tested with variable results. grafting is a method that has a few advantages such as fast multiplication rate, earlier fruiting and reducing sucker removal cost on specific rootstocks. unfortunately, grafting is difficult due to slow formation of callus in hazelnuts. here, we report the hypo...

background and objective: given the widespread use of paraffin in the treatment of constipation in chil-dren and the possibility of long duration of drug use and the risk of drug leakage, the risk of urinary infection in these patients is considerable. the aim of this study was to determine the association between leakage of paraf-fin and the presence or exacerbation of the urinary infection an...

the separation of olefin/paraffin mixtures is an important process in petrochemical industries, which is traditionally performed by low temperature distillation with a high-energy consumption, or complex extractive distillationand adsorption techniques. membrane separation process is emerging as an alternative for traditional separation processes with respect to low energy and simple operation....

Superior encapsulation technology is important for PSCs to prolong their lifetime and realize commercial application. Paraffin/EVA/paraffin composite encapsulated layers were fabricated with the ambient environment under thermal temperature of 80°C, which has advantages simple procedures low cost. paraffin/EVA/paraffin pure EVA maintained 95 45% initial power conversion efficiency (PCE) aged 10...

The article is devoted to the study of influence asphalt-resin-paraffin deposits on temperature oil saturation by paraffin. As a result analysis and generalization published works statistical information, empirical dependences paraffin content asphaltenes, resins paraffin, were obtained, which identified for conditions Ural-Volga region Kazakhstan
