the aim of the present study was to prepare nano-sized calcium fluoride (caf2). calcium fluoride nanoparticles were synthesized by cacl2.6h2o and ammonium fluoride. nanoparticles were synthesized by co-precipitation method. the synthesized nanocrystals were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ftir), scanning electron microscopy (sem). the crystalli...

graphene modified glassy carbon electrodes have been developed for the determination of calcium dobesilate in pharmaceutical formulations. the prepared graphene and cnts were used as a conductive substrate for electrochemical study of calcium dobesilate. the direct electrochemistry of calcium dobesilate showed a reversible cyclic voltammogram with a formal potential of 133 mv (vs. ag/agcl) for ...

fertilization is triggered by changes in intracellular calcium concentration. in mammals, these transients in ooplasmic calcium concentration take the form of repetitive spikes, so called calcium oscillations (ca2+-oscillations). these oscillations are important for relieve of meiotic arrest and to induce all the other events of oocyte activation. although a surface mediated way of oocyte activ...

background: lead is an industrial heavy metal that can decrease sperm motility. objective: the aim was to investigate the protective effects of calcium against lead on motility of spermatozoa. materials and methods: in total 40 adult male swiss white mice were randomly divided into 5 groups (control, lead of 1st wk, lead of 2nd wk, lead/calcium of 1st wk and lead/calcium of 2nd wk). the lead gr...

 Background: Calcium (Ca+2) plays an important role in many biophysiological mechanisms .The present study was carried out to assess alterations in total serum calcium level before and after operations in consider to the type of anesthesia. Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was conducted on 74 women who candidate for gynecological abdominal operations during one year at Al-z...

 Abstract Objective: The intervention program evaluated through a randomized controlled trial design, on 116 women aged 40-65, based on Intervention Map to increase consumption of calcium rich foods to prevent osteoporosis. Method: Osteoporosis knowledge and stages of change of calcium intake were as the effect variables and frequency of calcium rich foods consumption was as the outcome variabl...

residual microorganisms in the root canal system (rcs) after endodontic therapy such as candida albicans are a major cause of endodontic failure. calcium hydroxide (ch) and chlorhexidine (chx) have suitable antimicrobial activity against bacteria and can be used as intracanal medicaments. nanosilver has also shown antimicrobial activity against microorganisms. this study aimed to compare the an...

Introduction Electron linear accelerator (LINAC) can be used for neutron production in Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT). BNCT is an external radiotherapeutic method for the treatment of some cancers. In this study, Varian 2300 C/D LINAC was simulated as an electron accelerator-based photoneutron source to provide a suitable neutron flux for BNCT. Materials and Methods Photoneutron sources w...
