Stroke is the world's largest neurological defect caused by the disruption of brain blood circulation. Apart from death, the severest damage caused by stroke, a plethora of other mental and physical disabilities can ensue the incidence of a stroke. As a result of the continued disruption of blood circulation triggered by a stroke, biochemical and physiological mechanisms affect nerve cells and ...

✔ Objective: It has been shown that excess amount of glutamate released after primary neuronal injury by head trauma causes secondary injuries in the adult brain. Aiming to prevent this secondary injury a wide range of N-Methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist drugs have been investigated in experimental studies. Magnesium sulphate and memantine are pharmacological agents widely used clinically ...

This case, together with a few case reports by others,*-? forms a distinct group of endobronchial polyps characterized by rapidly progressing signs and symptoms of bronchial obstruction in the absence of preceding manifestations of tracheobronchial or pulmonary disease. The tenn polyp, per se, has no histopathologic connotation; it just means a protruding growth arising from a mucous membrane. ...

backgrounds and aims: methylglyoxal (mgo) is an –α, β dicarbonyl aldehyde inevitably produced from triose-phosphate intermediates of glycolysis, and amino acid. increased mgo in blood leads to alterations in coagulation, clot permeability and thus, atherosclerosis in children with diabetes; however, the precise mechanism is not clear. the present study aimed to compare different concentrations ...

materials and methods liposomes were prepared by thin film method using soya lecithin and cholesterol. physicochemical characteristics of the liposomes such as, particle size, drug encapsulation efficiency were determined. also, drug release and in vitro skin permeability through rat skin were evaluated using franz diffusion cells. results the results showed that the maximum drug encapsulation ...

Permeability, the ability of rocks to flow hydrocarbons, is directly determined from core. Due to high cost associated with coring, many techniques have been suggested to predict permeability from the easy-to-obtain and frequent properties of reservoirs such as log derived porosity. This study was carried out to put clustering methods (dynamic clustering (DC), ascending hierarchical clustering ...

Foam flooding (or injection of foam) is a common technology to enhance oil recovery. Although the effects of permeability on foam flooding were well studied in many laboratory experiments, little research has been focused on the specificity of low permeability. In this paper, a series of constant-quality nitrogen foam flow experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of permeability on...

Study of permeability of Fibrous Composites is important in several natural and industrial processes in mechanical engineering. In this study, a comprehensive mathematical model is presented for calculation of normal permeability of ordered elliptical fibrous media. An innovative scale-analysis technique is employed for determining the normal permeability of elliptical fibrous media. In this te...
