conclusions considering the results, it seems necessary to conduct prospective studies in order to identify factors responsible for the high seroprevalence of hev in isfahan hd units. results anti-hev igg was detected in 27 (9.9%) controls and 78 (28.3%) patients, with the difference being statistically significant (p < 0.05). furthermore, there was a significant association between positive an...

The volatile oil obtained from the cones of Cupressus funebris by hydrodistillation was subjected to anti-inflammatory activity using carrageenan induced paw oedema model using albino mice, Diclofenac sodium was used as standard drug (25 mg/kg body weight, p.o.). The volatile oil (100 mg/kg body weight, p.o.) showed significant anti inflammatory activity.

Piper hispidinervum (C. DC.), Piperaceae, is a promising source of sassafras oil, the source of safrol, currently derived from endangered plants of the Lauraceae such as Ocotea pretios Ness (Mez.), Cinamomum petrophilum, C. mollissimum, and Sassafras albidum Nutt. The essential oil of P. hispidinervum contains high levels (83–93%) of safrole in leaves which can be easily extracted by hydrodisti...

Mathematical, fuzzy logic and artificial neural network modeling of extraction kinetics essential oil from aerial parts yarrow (Achillea millefolium L.) using ohmic-assisted hydrodistillation

Abstract Virgin olive oil processing results in a large amount of biomass (leaves, pomace, stones and wastewater) during harvesting, pruning production. In recent years, these by-products have been studied as possible sources bioactive compounds, several techniques developed, including microwave, ultrasound, subcritical extraction, high hydrostatic pressure, pulsed electric field, high-voltage ...

Background: Quality of life (QOL) assessment in patients on chronic Hemodialysis (HD) or peritoneal dialysis (PD) has rarely been carried out. The aim of this study was to assess the quality of life during hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis treatment in patients referred to teaching hospitals in Urmia, Iran. Methods: All chronic HD and PD patients in Taleghani and Imam Khomeini Teaching Hospi...

conclusions the results of our study proposed that there is a loss or inactivation of antioxidant factors, coupled with increased lipid peroxidation during the procedure of hd, possibly through the dialyzer membrane, with probable consequences on the severity of illness. results the sod, gpx and cat were decreased after hd (p < 0.05). also, frap was shown to decrease after hd (p < 0.05). howeve...
