BACKGROUND Benzodiazepines, such as lorazepam and midazolam, are frequently administered to surgical intensive care unit (ICU) patients for postoperative sedation. To date, the pharmacology of lorazepam in critically ill patients has not been described. The aim of the current study was to characterize and compare the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of lorazepam and midazolam administered ...

Vitamin C and taurine (TR) are well known as active components for fatigue recovery. However, the mechanism of anti-fatigue effects vitamin TR is still unclear. Our study was designed to evaluate activities in an animal test compare between TR. Materials Methods: C, or their combination were orally administrated mice once daily 15 days, then metabolic such blood glucose, triglyceride (TG), lact...

objective(s) the effect of berberis vulgaris aqueous extract in hepatocarcinogenic rats was studied to investigate the apoptotic and sodium, potassium elements properties. a loss of both intracellular potassium and sodiumoccurs when apoptotic cells shrink and prior to the loss of membraneintegrity. materials and methods forty-eight sprague dawley rats were randomly divided into 2 groups, normal...

Tailings are one of the largest solid wastes in stock at present. In order to improve comprehensive utilization rate tailings, especially solve problems fine-grained tailings treatment, concrete composite admixture was prepared by using iron powder and slag powder. study influence on workability long-term mechanical properties concrete, C30 C50 with different dosages were prepared, slump, expan...

This study investigates the indoor acoustical characteristics of a Middle Byzantine masonry church in Cappadocia. The Bell Church is partial ruins; therefore, archival data and church’s remains are used for its reconstruction. aims to formulate methodology realistic simulation by testing applicability different approaches, including field laboratory tests. By conducting qualitative quantitative...

In ordinary public rooms absorbent ceilings are normally used. However, reflective material such as diffusers can also be useful to improve the acoustic performance for this type of environment. study, different combinations absorbers and have been The study investigates whether a test group 29 people perceived sound in an room differently depending on treatment. Comparisons same position confi...

Development of state-of-the-art selective adsorbent materials for recovery rare earth elements (REEs) is essential their sustainable usage. In this study, a metal-organic framework (MOF), MIL-101(Cr), was synthesized and post-synthetically modified with optimised loading the organophosphorus compounds tributyl phosphate (TBP), bis(2-ethylhexyl) hydrogen (D2EHPA, HDEHP) bis(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl...
