background most therapeutic interventions in acute phase of viral hepatitis b patients are conservative. prostaglandins have absorbed many scientists' attention for improving these patients condition, therefore, the present study was designed to evaluate misoprostol (pge1 analogue) effect on acute phase of viral hepatitis b. materials and methods a randomized matched controlled clinical trial w...

clofibrate is a glucuronosyl transferase inducer that has been proposed to increase the elimination of bilirubin in neonates with hyperbilirubinemia. this study was conducted to determine the therapeutic effect of clofibrate in term neonates with non-hemolytic jaundice. this study was conducted on 52 newborns with pathologic unconjugated jaundice in qazvin children hospital. newborns divided ra...

Background: Jaundice is one of the most leading causes of neonate hospitalization (51.8%) during the first four weeks of life, and phototherapy is one of the most common and safest methods for the treatment of jaundice. Different results have been obtained from the studies conducted on the investigation of factors affecting increased phototherapy effect on the reduction of neonatal jaundice. Ho...

Ethanol extract of ginger, turmeric and cinnamon was assessed for its antioxidant, antimicrobial and antiinflammatory activity. The antioxidant activity was determined by measuring FRAP (ferric reducing-antioxidant power) assay. The antibacterial efficacy was determined using paper disc method against different gram negative bacterial and sensitivity in terms of zones of inhibition of all extra...

  Background: Delay in diagnosis and treatment of perforated appendicitis may cause life-threatening complications. The aim of this study was to determine and compare pre-operative total and direct bilirubin levels in cases of simple and perforated acute appendicitis in order to improve the clinical decision making.   Methods: This prospective observational study included eighty patients who ...

Anomalous diffusion, in particular subdiffusion, is frequently invoked as a mechanism of motion in dense biological media, and may have a significant impact on the kinetics of binding/unbinding events at the cellular level. In this work we incorporate anomalous diffusion in a previously developed model for FRAP experiments. Our particular implementation of subdiffusive transport is based on a c...
