the aim of the study was to determine the resistance patterns of pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates recovered from patients with surgical wounds in hospitals and also to investigate their epidemiological relatedness using molecular typing techniques. twenty pseudomonas sp. isolated from surgical wounds were subjected to antibiotic susceptibility testing by disk diffusion, plasmid profile, sds-page...

introduction: to investigate the ultrastructural changes of dentin irradiated with 980-nm diode laser under different parameters and to observe the morphological alterations of odontoblasts and pulp tissue to determine the safety parameters of 980-nm diode laser in the treatment of dentin hypersensitivity (dh). methods: twenty extracted human third molars were selected to prepare dentin discs. ...

objective: as we are approaching the global eradication of wild poliovirus, laboratory surveillance of poliovirus by the gold standard cell culture method becomes increasingly important. as there is a lot of concern about accurate and sensitive detection of imported wild and vaccine derived polioviruses (vdpvs) in polio-free countries, in this study we assessed and compared the sensitivity of t...

background: over recent decades, modern protocols of external beam radio¬therapy and radiation techniques such as intensity-modulated radiotherapy (imrt) have been developed. these methods are extremely sensitive to errors in treatment delivery, so that it is essential to apply a high resolution 3d dosimetry system that has high sensitivity and is capable of measuring and verifying the complex ...

background: diagnosis of food allergy is difficult in children. food allergies are diagnosed using several methods that include medical histories, clinical examinations, skin prick and serum-specific immunoglobulin e (ige) tests, radio-allergosorbent test (rast), food challenge, and supervised elimination diets. in this study we evaluated allergies to cow's milk, egg, peanut, and fish in c...

the purpose of this study is finding the sensitivity of central bank independence measurements on its impact on inflation in iran. to this aim different measurements of the central bank independence were calculated using the indices of grilli et al. (1991), cukierman et al. (1992), mathew (2006) and dumiter (2009) for the period 1961-2012 . although results of correlation between cbi index and ...

background: adverse effect of sun rays mainly uv ray on the human eye documented and protection of eyes is necessary using different methods such as, sun glasses. sunglasses are designed in different colors. the aim of this study was evaluation of the effect of different colors of sunglasses on the visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, stereopsis and color vision. methods: 81 normal subjects wer...

Let $(X,T)$ be a topological dynamical system and $n\geq 2$. We say that is $n$-tuplewise IP-sensitive (resp. thickly sensitive) if there exists constant $\delta>0$ with the property for each non-empty open subset $U$ of $X$, exist $x_1,x_2,\dotsc,x_n\in U$ such \[ \Bigl\{k\in\mathbb{N}\colon \min_{1\le i\delta\Bigr\} \] an IP-set thick set). obtain several sufficient...
