Purpose Trabecular meshwork (TM) cell volume is a determinant of aqueous humor outflow resistance, and thereby IOP. Regulation of TM cell volume depends on chloride ion (Cl-) release through swelling-activated channels (ICl,Swell), whose pore is formed by LRRC8 proteins. Chloride ion release through swelling-activated channels has been reported to be regulated by calcium-activated anoctamins, b...

soil is known as the base material for many structure, on the other hand, some soils cause problems for some structures such as roads. some types of soils absorb moisture and swell then they may shrink when losing water. the changes of moisture in these soil samples cause changes their volume and pressure to layers of the pavement and eventually leads to destruction of roads. therefore, it is n...

Due to the fact that many application processes take place at different temperature, better examining and understanding of swelling properties as a function of temperature is essential for such application. The temperature effect on the swelling properties of commercial polyacrylic acid (PAA) hydrogel beads was investigated as a function of time and temperature. Gel bead size, swelling equilibr...

Using muscle functional MRI (mfMRI), this study was able to differentiate the acute physiological responses following three established hypertrophic resistance exercise strategies. Low-load protocols performed failure, with or without blood flow restriction, resulted in larger changes R 2 (i.e. greater T -shifts) a slow rate of return baseline indicative myocellular fluid shifts. These data wer...

expansive behavior is usually observed in soils, which contain fractions of clay minerals in their composition. water absorption of clay particles and change of natural water content of soil up to plastic limit and down to shrinkage limit will cause significant volume change in expansive soils and will result in severe damages to the structures, buildings and foundations. swelling potential is ...

cotton fibres were subjected to cleaning process and then characterized for maturity. decrystallisation and swelling processes with caustic soda, ethanol, propan-2-ol and trichloroethene on the native fibres were carried out. the effects of these on the strength and moisture regain were investigated. the activation energies of the dyeings were also analysed with durazol scarlet red 4 bas. the r...

using controlled drug delivery devices is one of the novel methods of drug delivery which is used to perform drug therapy with the minimum side effects. mucoadhesive polymers are one of these devices. chitosan is a natural polymer which is a suitable candidate for this purpose due to it is biocompatibility, bioadhesion and high capability to adsorb peptide drugs. since gi tract has both acidic ...

introduction: hydatid disease caused by larval stage of echinococcus has been recognized endemically in many countries. liver and lungs are the most commonly affected organs. involvement of the head and neck region is rare and bony erosion due to hydatidosis is even rarer. case report: we report a case of a 17-year-old girl from a poor socio-economic background who presented with a right sided ...
