Overlap syndrome, which is known as the coexistence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), was first defined by Flenley. Although it can refer to concomitant occurrence of any of the pulmonary diseases and OSA, overlap syndrome is commonly considered as the coexistence of OSA and COPD. This disease has unique adverse health consequences distinct from ...

BACKGROUND Mixing of nebulized drugs is common in real life, but its consequences on aerosol output and granulometry are poorly known. METHODS In an in vitro study I evaluated the effects on aerosol output, drug output, and aerosol particle size characteristics of mixing either beclomethasone dipropionate or budesonide with albuterol and ipratropium bromide. I tested the SideStream and VentSt...

introduction: the aim of the present investigation was to compare the efficacy of mineral trioxide aggregate (mta) and 0.2% chlorhexidine (chx) mixture to pure mta, as a pulp capping material. methods and materials: the pulp of 24 lateral incisors and canines from four dogs were exposed and capped either with mta or mta+0.2% chx. after 2 months the animals were sacrificed and the teeth were pre...

Objective: A question raised here as to whether exercise training combined with Mg supplementation could improve the symptoms of neuropathic pain such as the thermal hyperalgesia more effectively than either of the two alone. This study aimed to investigate the combined effect of swim training and Mg supplementation on thermal hyperalgesia in streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic rats. Materia...

mixing herbicides is an essential for weed management strategy of reduce herbicide using and reducing the risk of side-effects and costs of herbicides. therefore, to study the effect of clopyralid and glyphosate and their mixtures on acroptylon repense control, a field trial was conducted as split plot based on a completely randomized block design with 35 treatments (as dose-response arrangemen...
