ment either on the day of their operation or one day later. The issue at hand now is to compare laparoscopic cholecystectomy to "small-inci-sion" cholecystegtomY in a properly designed trial, in such a setting. (1994). Laparoscopic and minilaparotomy chole-cystectomy: A randomized trial comparing postopera-tive pain and pulmonary function, Surgery, 115, 533-539. external audit of laparoscopic c...

background and objective: regarding side effects of acute and especially chronic inflammation and incomplete treatment of patients suffering from these side effects, the new and effective strategies are needed. for this purpose, in the present study, we scientifically evaluate an introduced folk herb urtica dioica, for treatment of inflammation. materials and methods: the sham, control and trea...

the distribution of gallium(b) and indium (b) between hydrochloric or sulphuric acid solution with sec-nonylphenoxy acetic acid(ca-100) in kerosene has been investigated under various conditions. ca-100 is a new organocarboxylic extractant, which has been shown to be efficient for gallium(b) and indium(b) whereas germanium(c), which was not extracted. the extraction system is studied as a funct...

the natural lignan podophyllotoxin, a dimerized product of two phenylpropanoid moieties which occurs in a few plant species, is a pharmacologically important compound for its anticancer activities. optimization of the in vitro cultures might lead to a renewable source of lignans for medicinal uses. in order to maximize efficiency of podophyllotoxin accumulation via in vitro cultures, the effect...

Lignocellulosic raw material plays a crucial role in the development of sustainable processes for the production of fuels and chemicals. Weak acids such as acetic acid and formic acid are troublesome inhibitors restricting efficient microbial conversion of the biomass to desired products. To improve our understanding of weak acid inhibition and to identify engineering strategies to reduce aceti...

Worker yellowjackets (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) were captured in traps baited with combinations of an aqueous solution of acetic acid and polyethylene caps loaded with either butyl butyrate, heptyl butyrate, or isobutanol. Vespula germanica (F.) were captured in large numbers in traps baited with acetic acid and isobutanol or acetic acid and butyl butyrate. Vespula pensylvanica (Saussure) were cap...

background and objectives: zinc oxide (zno) nano-particles have been proven to have strong antibacterial activity against food borne pathogens. the practical applications of different concentrations (control, 0, 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8 mm) of zno suspensions containing 1% acetic acid were investigated against the pathogenic bacteria like staphylococcus aureus. materials and methods: the projects of la...
