Background: Topical retinoid based combinations are recommended to enhance the outcome of acne treatment. Adapalene-benzoyl peroxide (BPO) combination gel was approved in 2009 for acne treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of adapalene 0.1%-benzoyl peroxide 2.5% combination gel compared to adapalene 0.1% gel monotherapy and benzoyl peroxide 2.5% gel mono...

we have modified one of the most useful methods of protein separation; namely, two dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-de). this modified version of 2-de is not only simpler and easier but also faster than all the currently available methods. in this method, isoelectric focusing is carried out in the first dimension using a vertical sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (sds-...

introduction: polymer gels are modern dosimeters providing three dimensional dose distributions. these dosimeters can be used in brachytherapy in which the tumor dimension is relatively small and the dose gradient is high. in this study, the ability of the magica polymer gel was investigated for assessing the absolute dose values as well as the dose distribution of low dose rate (ldr) ir-192 wi...

background: the compositions of ferrous sulphate, agarose and xylenol orange dye (fax) and ferrous sulphate, gelatin and xylenol orange dye (fgx) in solution of distilled water and sulphuric acid are two tissue-equivalent gel dosimeters. ionizing radiation causes oxidation of fe2+ ion to fe3+ ions which diffuse through the gel matrix and blur the image of absorbed dose over a period of hours af...
