pure submandibular saliva was collected from anaesthetized vitamin - a - treated and control rats with using of pilocarpine as secretogogue, and then the serum was collected by cardiac puncutre. intraperitoneal injection of a large single dose (100,000 iu/kg) of vitamin a changed total protein, calcium and sodium concentrations of saliva so that sodium level of submandibular saliva was reduced ...

ultrasound is one of the preferred modalities for evaluation of the parathyroid glands. this study was undertaken to determine the accuracy of high resolution ultrasound for secondary hyperparathyroidism in patients with chronic renal failure. from march 2008 to march 2009, ninety-one hemodialysis patients were examined by high resolution ultrasound (14 mhz) of the parathyroid glands in compari...

Introduction Monoaminergic neurotransmitters affect motor control, emotions and cognitive functions. Their relative abundance depends on the action of monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) which catalyses their degradation into inactive metabolites. Brunner syndrome is a rare chromosome X-linked recessive inheritance genetic disorder, causes loss function MAOA gene, leading to increase in monoamines affec...

  Introduction:  The use of radioactive iodine (131I) has become an important adjunct to the treatment of thyroid cancer and hyperthyroidism. Salivary gland has the ability to concentrate radioactive iodine under normal circumstances. Salivary gland dysfunction and dry mouth are the common side effectsof high-dose radioiodine therapy. The purposeof this stu...
