to study changes in concentrations of some biochemical factors of amniotic fluid, 115 normal goat uteri at different stages of pregnancy were collected from slaughterhouse. after expelling of each fetus accompanied by fetal membranes, 10 ml amniotic fluid was taken from amniotic sac for biochemical analysis. then approximate ages of fetuses were calculated by using age estimation formula. at fi...

results mode of delivery, nicu admission neonatal death and induction of labor. oligohydramnious is associated with a high rate of pregnancy complications and increased perinatal morbidity and mortality. women with oligohydramnious usually have low-birth babies. conclusion however, we can expect a safe and good outcome for pregnant women with oligohydramnious, should proper fetal surveillance a...

objective: to investigate the decrease in hemoglobin concentration and hematocrit during elective surgery. methods: this was a prospective study being performed in nemazee hospital of shiraz university of medical sciences. we included a total of 50 american society of anesthesiology (asa) i and ii patients undergoing elective minor surgeries. perioperative fluid administration was performed for...

in the present study, the onset of double diffusive reaction-convection in a uid layer with viscous fluid, heated and salted from below subject to chemical equilibrium on the boundaries, has been investigated. linear and nonlinear stability analysis have been performed. for linear analysis normal mode technique is used and for nonlinear analysis minimal representation of truncated fourier serie...

to enhance solubility and the performance of a plant gum (from south peach tree of china, sp gum) as a drilling fluid additive, we explored the potential of modified sp (msp) gum by modifying it with epichlorohydrin. the modification conditions, such as the mass ratio of  the crosslinking agent, ph and temperature, were optimized and the results show that 56.40 g/100g mass ratio of the crosslin...

the model fluids containing hard ellipses (hes) and gay-berne (gb) particles where their center is moving in one dimension and confined between two parallel walls with different interactions are investigated using monte carlo simulation, nvt ensemble. the dependency of fluid pressure with respect to the wall distances is studied. the oscillatory behaviors are seen in this quantity against wall ...

in this work, result of experimental investigation on interaction of fuel spray generated by a swirled type injector, with air motion in a prototype cylinder are presented. experiments were carried out by planar imaging and particle image velocimetry (piv) techniques in order to provide information about the spray structure evolution and instantaneous velocity distribution of air motion and fue...

the development of culture media able to mimic the preovulatory stage of follicular environment and support nuclear and cytoplasmic maturation of oocyte is important for in-vitro fertilization (ivf) programs. it seems that the best culture media for embryonic development and cell cleavage is the natural composition which surrounds the oocyte which has been used occasionally in human ivf program...

background and objective: febrile convulsions (fc) are the most common seizure disorders in children. lumbar puncture should be considered in any case with fc who is suspected to intracranial infections. this study determined white blood cell and polymorphonuclear cell counts, protein and glucose levels in cerebrospinal fluids (cfs) of children that were hospitalized with fc. methods: in this c...
