Mucosa-adhesive gels can be used as a useful mean of delivering drugs to or via mucosal membranes, and in particular buccal mucosa. Carbomers are among the best mucosa-adhesive materials known. The aim of this study was to compare the results obtained from the mucosa-adhesive strength of aqueous gels containing Carbomers, either alone or in combination, to the data obtained from assessing the d...

to evaluate the effect of intrauterine cephapirin on treatment of endometritis 39 holstein dairy cows that affected with postpartum endometritis were selected and randomly assigned to two experimental designs. in experiment 1, 6 out of 14 cows were 25 to 30 days after parturition were treated by intrauterine oxytetracycline. another 8 cows were treated by intrauterine cephapirin (metri-care). i...

background and aims. reactive hyperplasias (rhs) are common oral mucosal lesions caused by irritation of the mu-cosa. the aim of this study was to evaluate the frequencies of various types of oral rhs in a university clinic. materials and methods. oral rh cases, undergone biopsy in a four-year period, were studied retrospectively. data including age and gender as well as the location and clinic...

background and aim: oral mucosal lesions have various prevalence rates among different populations. few studies have evaluated the frequency of oral mucosal lesions in iranian population. this study aimed to determine the frequency of oral mucosal lesions and the related factors.                        materials and methods: this descriptive study was conducted based on the data in the archives...

tuberculosis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. it is a chronic granulomatous disease that can affect any part of the body, including the oral cavity. oral lesions of tuberculosis, though uncommon, are seen in both the primary and secondary stages of the disease. this article presents a case of tuberculosis of the buccal mucosa, manifesting as non-healing, non-painful ulcer....

metastatic tumors to the heart unlike primary cardiac tumors are not rare. despite its frequency, cardiac metastasis is commonly detected only during autopsy as the symptoms of disseminated metastasis prevail over symptoms caused by cardiac metastasis and hence is overlooked most of the time. tumors more commonly found metastasizing to the heart are malignancies of lung, breast, esophagus, lymp...

nasal mucosa has an extraordinary nerve supply with unique geometry that encompasses complex physiology. among these, side-specific predilections to the respiratory and autonomic centers are the interesting issues that have been raised about the consequences of the nasal irritations. the aim of the study was an evaluation of how intranasal stimulation influences lung mechanics and determines wh...

background: superficial mucocele presents as small, clear vesicle on noninflamed mucosa. in this study, we report several vesicles on the bucal mucosa of a woman diagnosed as superficial mucocele.case presentation: a 48-year old woman presented with multiple vesicles on her labial mucosa, ventral surface of the tongue, floor of the mouth and palate. a mucosal biopsy was taken from the vesicle. ...

background there is a potential risk for malignancy in patients with diabetes mellitus. theoretically, a noninvasive method for detection of precancerous changes can be conducted on oral exfoliated cell smears. objectives in this study, the immunocytochemistry of p53 in exfoliated oral mucosal cells in patients with type 2 diabetes was investigated. patients and methods oral mucosal smears were...
