Platelet and leucocyte aggregation and severe haemolysis may occur in blood during the preparation of an extracorporeal circuit for open-heart surgery. Experiments with dog blood showed that both processes result from bubble oxygenation but not from circulation of diluted blood and that they appear to be inhibited by the presence of acid citrate dextrose and heparin, or citrate phosphate dextro...

A metabolic study in patients with mild to moderate essential hvpertension. of potassium administration and of potassium deprivation on plasma renin in normal and hypertensive subjects. diuretics, and salt restrictio...

Insertion a needle on the skin layer structure will impact to the neural responses of pain sensory receptors what make a pain’s sense to baby and make them would cry, struggle and irritable. That were inhibit the invasive process and aggravate the trauma in infants because of repeated procedures and hormonal responses that increase pain. Side effects of pain that were make in permanent damage e...

BACKGROUND Spread of intrathecal local anaesthetics is determined principally by baricity and position of the patient. Hypobaric solutions of bupivacaine are characterized by an unpredictable spread of sensory block whereas addition of dextrose 80 g ml(-1) provides a predictable spread but to high thoracic levels. In contrast, dextrose concentrations between 8 and 30 g ml(-1) have shown reliabl...

abstract background and purpose: according to the reported problems in area of the inappropriateness of water quality which used for washing and staining of car apparatuses in a car factory, this research was carried out for identification of physical, chemical, and microbiological characteristics of the consumed water in babol car factory, iran. materials and methods: physical and chemical par...

Sabouraud dextrose agar with and without chloramphenicol (0.05 mg/mL) and cycloheximide (0.5 mg/mL) and incubated at 26C and 37C respectively. The cultures were examined twice weekly for a period of six weeks. The different types of colonies were subcultured on Sabouraud dextrose agar slants and pure cultures of the isolates were identified on the basis of microscopic morphology and cultural ch...

The effectiveness of shallow groundwater areas to serve as a sink for NO3 is affected by many biological and physical properties. However, the direct impact of these properties on the fate of NO3 in shallow groundwater is not well understood, especially where the soils are intermittently saturated. This study was conducted to assess in situ reaction and transport of NOa-N in an intermittent sha...

BACKGROUND Hyperglycemia is common in critically ill and surgical patients, as are core temperature disturbances. The effect of hyperglycemia on thermoregulatory defenses remains unknown. We determined the effect of blood glucose concentration on the shivering threshold in rabbits. METHODS Twenty-seven rabbits lightly anesthetized with isoflurane were randomly assigned to infusions of (1) sal...
