OBJECTIVE Phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors, used to increase penile blood flow in erectile dysfunction patients, have recently been postulated to increase blood flow and flap survival in cutaneous flaps based on random blood supply. This study aims to investigate the phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor tadalafil, administered orally, on random flap survival. METHODS Modified McFarlane flaps measuring...

a study was conducted to determine the optimum concentration of benzyladenie (ba) and gibberllic acid (ga3) to break the dormancy of gladiolus corms in relation to storage period and to find out the effect of ba and ga3 on growth and development of gladiolus corm and cormels. the effect of ga3 on dormancy breaking was most pronounced in the 100 ppm treatment being 26.93 days while in the water ...

The design of a building can provide the highest thermal comfort in the interior without any mechanical equipment and save energy to a large extent. The roof of a building is an important part for thermal loss. This research studies the thermal performance of 14 conventional roof structures in Tehran city by using designbuilder 4.5. It is found that the polystyrene block performs best compared ...
