purpose : patients with infantile or childhood strabismus who do not achieve visual axes alignment early in life are believed to have poor prognosis with respect to the stereopsis. this study investigates the binocularity and stereopsis following delayed surgical alignment in patients with congenital and early-onset strabismus. patients & methods : 36 patients aged between 6-30 years participat...

conclusions: in this study, delay in diagnosis was similar to other studies. educating physicians to careful history taking especially in the case of ibp, non-musculoskeletal symptoms such as uveitis and precise physical examination are important in early diagnosis. patients and methods: sixty patients, (53 males, 7 females) with a diagnosis of as according to the modified new york criteria wer...

contact hypersensitivity (chs) mouse model induced by 2, 4-dinitrofluorobenzene (dnfb) is thought to be a t helper 1 (th1)-dominant response and used for investigating anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive agents. however, it is hardly used for screening large-scale drugs because of the large number of animals and complex mechanisms involved in-vivo. in this study, we focused on whether t lym...

in this study, we investigate the immunostimulatory effects of alcoholic extract of the coffee seed on cell-mediated immune response andcyclophosphamide-induced (cp) immunosuppressed mice. the assessment of cellular immune function was carried out by the measurement of delayed-type hypersensitivity (dth) response. according to the literature survey, cyclophosphamide has only suppressing effect ...

objectives: the purpose of the present study is to investigate the oral narrative skills of late talkers mostly caused by mental disorders while they try to comprehend a wordless sequential picture story to create and narrate the relevant story. methods: to this end, 15 (10 male and 5 female) participants were who were the students of a specialized school for physically and mentally retarded st...

background although the immunosuppressant cyclosporine (csa) is widely used after kidney transplantation over the long term, there is still no firm consensus on the best way to monitor of csa blood levels. objectives cyclosporine (csa) assay is critical for the management of renal transplant recipients due to inter– and intra–patient variation in csa absorption and metabolism. patients and meth...

By MEMS packaging test platform for bonding process of bonding temperature and bonding time, and test silicon specifications experimental study. Experimental results indicate that when the bonding voltage of 1200V, bonding temperature of 445 0 C to 455 0 C, bonding time is 60s, the void fraction is less than 5%. Glass and silicon wafer bonding quality can achieve the best. The experimental resu...

New-born lambs have limited energy reserves and need a rapid access to colostrum to maintain homeothermy and survive. In addition to energy, colostrum provides immunoglobulins which ensure passive systemic immunity. Therefore, getting early access to the udder is essential for the neonate. The results from the literature reviewed here highlight the importance of the birth site as the location w...

Background Immediate dentin sealing implies applying an adhesive system to directly after tooth preparation, before impression. The technique is universal (inlays, onlays, veneers, crowns) and well documented clinically experimentally. Different types of bonding agents (DBAs) are available on the market. Major differences lie in thickness hybrid layer overlaying resin (filled vs. unfilled/light...
