A portable glucometer method was used to measure clearance of salivary glucose in 31 black and in 28 white 12-year-old school children. The aims of this study were to evaluate a readily available portable glucometer method and to investigate salivary glucose clearance as a marker of caries risk. Following the initial evaluation, we adapted the portable adapted glucometer method and found it rep...

Tip clearance has a great effect on the flow and pressure fluctuation characteristics in multiphase pump, especially at multiple operating points. The phase distribution tip pump are revealed using CFD (computational fluid dynamics) technology high-speed photography methods. In this paper, distribution, gas-liquid two-phase velocity slip, intensity comprehensively analyzed. Results show with in...

Objective(s) As there are conflicting findings regarding the clearance-dose and patient characteristics relationships for valproic acid (VPA), this study was conducted to investigate the relationship between patient demographic characteristics, VPA dosage and the drug clearance in adult Iranian patients. Materials and Methods Patients (N= 47) were either on monotherapy with VPA or were under co...
