Abstract Following the circular economy concept, all areas of science, including electronics, require individual approach. The green electronics approach implies processing natural based materials for development electronic components even single use, so that waste does not exist. This paper describes production thermistors from 3 different types edible materials, their testing in laboratory co...

background heat is a harmful factor in workplaces that causes physiologic and cognitive changes in workers. objectives the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of cooling vest on heat strain and reaction time while wearing chemical-biological-nuclear protective clothes. methods twelve male students with mean age of 25 ± 2 and body mass index (bmi) of 23 ± 1.5 were recruited in th...

benign prostatic hyperplasia (bph) is the most common condition in aging men, associated with lower urinary tract symptoms. it is caused due to the augmented levels of the androgen dihydrotestosterone. dutasteride, a 5α-reductase inhibitor has been recommended for the treatment of bph upon oral administration. however, long term oral administration of dutasteride may cause sexual problem in man...

We describe the case of a 23 year old male who presented with a history of intermittent pyrexia associated with apparent episodic loss of consciousness. During these events, thermometers placed in the rectum and axillae supported the elevated oral temperature readings. After numerous investigations including electroencephalography had excluded organic disease, the patient was observed applying ...

OBJECTIVE To compare the analgesic efficacy of diclofenac sodium and paracetamol on post adenotonsillectomy postoperative pain and oral intake. METHODS Between January 1999 and July 2000, 80 children aged 3-14 years, underwent tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy for either recurrent tonsillitis or adenotonsillar hypertrophy in Prince Zeid Ben Al-Hussein Hospital and Prince Rashid Ben Al-Hussein H...

Stability testing of an active substance or finished product provides information of the variation of drug substance or final product with time influenced by a variety of environmental factors such as temperature, humidity and light. Knowledge gained from stability studies enables understanding of the effects of the environment on the drugs. The aim of our study was to determine the stability o...

This study profiled intra-oral somatosensory and vasomotor responses to three different transient receptor potential (TRP) channels, subfamily A, member 1 (TRPA1) agonists (menthol, nicotine, and cinnamaldehyde) in smoking and non-smoking young adults. Healthy non-smokers (N = 30) and otherwise healthy smokers (N = 25) participated in a randomized, double-blinded, cross-over study consisting of...

BACKGROUND Fever in patients can provide an important clue to the etiology of a patient's symptoms. Non-invasive temperature sites (oral, axillary, temporal) may be insensitive due to a variety of factors. This has not been well studied in adult emergency department patients. To determine whether emergency department triage temperatures detected fever adequately when compared to a rectal temper...
