food labeling is found to be a very important public health tool aimed at providing consumers with information which may influence their purchasing decisions. this study has aimed to assess the consumers' behaviors about the important information on the labels and their reasons for use or non-use. this descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted as point of purchase survey among 2123 shoppe...

  Purpose: To recognize affective factors in delivering X-ray contrast agents (which have high atomic number) via gallium carrier to liver or lymphatic neoplasm cells.   Materials and Methods: Since uptake of gallium by liver has been reported in numerous researches, it was bonded with a contrast media (metrizoate). X-ray imaging was done to determine geometric features of liver.   Results: Rad...

Introduction: Due to the cell labeling potentials of various metal-maltol complexes, the idea of developing a possible cell labeling imaging agent using single photon emission computed chromatography (SPECT) with[111In]-maltolate complex has been investigated. Methods: [111In] labeled 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4H-pyran-4-onate ([111In]-maltolate) was prepared using f...

in this paper we construct antimagic labelings of the regular complete multipartite graphs and we also extend the construction to some families of regular graphs.

the high expression of somatostatin receptors in many tumours, have made receptor scintigraphy with 111in-dtpa-octreotide a widly used procedure in nuclear medicine. despite its clinical success, some limitation and drawbacks of radiolabelling with 111in remain, especially those concerned with the cost, availability and physical decay properties of this radionuclide. 99mtc-edda/hynic-tyr3-toc w...

  Introduction: Monoclonal antibodies labeled mainly with 99mTc are being widely used as imaging agents in nuclear medicine. Recently PR81 was introduced as a new murine anti-MUC1 MAb against human breast carcinoma. This antibody reacts with the tandem repeat of 20-mer peptide of protein backbone, and is of IgG1 class, with an affinity of 2.19×10-8 M-1. Due to high sp...

background: possibility to trace-label albumin with isotopes results in information concerning its synthesis, breakdown, and distribution in the intra and extra cellular spaces. the iodination of albumin is a widespread procedure used in scientific studies. bromine not only is more reactive and less expensive than iodine, but bonds more easily with many elements. therefore, it could be a suitab...

background: definite data regarding the incidence and distribution of renal tumours in eastern india is not known. for better management, as it is essential to identify patients with poor prognosis, prognostic factors like stage, nuclear grade and their relationship to molecular markers are also unclear in this region. the purpose of our study was to assess the spectrum of adult renal tumours w...

Crowd computing empowers computer systems by utilizing humans’ perception, and their ability to solve non-algorithmic problems. In this approach, a group of humans are asked to contributively solve a problem that cannot be solved easily by individuals, or perfectly by computers. However, there are complexities in using humans to solve problems. Lack of generative models, complex cost models, lo...
