Background: For effective treatment of organophosphate (OP) poisoning, development of a standardized protocol with flexible dose regimen for atropine and pralidoxime is an essential step. In this study, we aimed to assess the protocol devised in our setting; Bach Mai Hospital Poison Treatment Center, for treatment of OP poisoning that included a higher dose regimen of pralidoxime (2PAM). Method...

cacl2 treatment followed by heat shock is the most common method for artificial transformation. here, the cells were transformed using cacl2 treatment either with heat shock (standard protocol) or without heat shock (lab protocol) to comprehend the difference in transformation efficiency. the bl21 strain of escherichia coli (e. coli) was being susceptible using cacl2 treatment. some cells were ...

We present a delay differential model with optimal control that describes the interactions of the tumour cells and immune response cells with external therapy. The intracellular delay is incorporated into the model to justify the time required to stimulate the effector cells. The optimal control variables are incorporated to identify the best treatment strategy with minimum side effects by bloc...

N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is the treatment of choice for acetaminophen poisoning; standard 72-h oral or 21-h intravenous protocols are most frequently used. There is controversy regarding which protocol is optimal and whether the full treatment course is always necessary. It would be challenging to address these questions in a clinical trial. We used DILIsym, a mechanistic simulation of drug-induc...

Background: The affordable protocol to prevent the severe OHSS in two groups of patients PCO syndrome and non PCO high responder. Methods and Materials: PubMed and Medline were searched from January 2000 till end of May 2014. This Study investigates whether the mild protocol is associated to prevent severe OHSS in infertile female. Results: According to this survey, 9 studies were included and ...

Background: This study aims to verify if luteal estradiol pre-treatment improves IVF/ICSI outcomes in a GnRH antagonist protocol as compared to a micro dose GnRH agonist protocol in poor-responding patients. Materials and Methods: A total of 116 IVF/ICSI cycles were included in this prospective randomized clinical trial. The selected women were randomly assigned to receive an estradiol pre-trea...

background: little is known about how to introduce complex technologies like arthroscopy into low-income countries. thus, we compared low- versus high-resource intensive methods of teaching basic arthroscopic skills in a randomized controlled trial in haiti. methods: forty-eight haitian orthopaedic surgeons and residents attending an orthopaedic conference in haiti were block randomized to rece...

Tumor anti-angiogenesis is a cancer treatment approach that aims at preventing the primary tumor from developing its own vascular network needed for further growth. In this paper the problem of how to schedule an a priori given amount of angiogenic inhibitors in order to minimize the tumor volume is considered for three related mathematical formulations of a biologically validated model develop...
