it has been sugeested since long that peripheral nerves possess opiod receptors and this has tempted clinicans in adding narcotics to local anesthetics to prolong the analgesic effects of these solutions. in this regard, we studied 45 patients undergoing surgical procedures on upper extremities. the patients scheduled for surgery were divided in to three groups, each comprising of 15 patients a...

resection is the most common treatment choice for sigmoid volvulus, a common complication in our region. a new minimally invasive technique for sigmoid resection with local anesthesia was done in this study. this method is invented to avoid general on regional anesthesia in high-risk patients. nineteen patients were evaluated and then 14 were enrolled in this study. sigmoidectomy with a left lo...

the meshless local radial point interpolation (mlrpi) method is applied to examine the magnetohydrodynamic (mhd) ow of third grade uid in a porous medium. the uid saturates the porous space between the two boundaries. several limiting cases of fundamental ows can be obtained as the special cases of present analysis. the variations of pertinent parameters are addressed.

let ( r,m ) be a noetherian local ring, a an ideal of r and m a finitely generated r- module. we investigate some properties of formal local cohomology modules with respect to a serre subcategory. we provide a common language to indicate some properties of formal local cohomology modules. let ( r,m ) be a noetherian local ring, a an ideal of r and m a finitely generated r- module. we investigat...

In many cases economic optimal operation is the same as maximum plant throughput, which is the same as maximum flow through the bottleneck(s). This insight may greatly simplify implementation. In this paper, we consider the case where the bottlenecks may move, with parallel flows that give rise to multiple bottlenecks and with crossover flows as extra degrees of freedom. With the assumption tha...

in this paper, we apply the local fractional adomian decomposition and variational iteration methods to obtain the analytic approximate solutions of fredholm integral equations of the second kind within local fractional derivative operators. the iteration procedure is based on local fractional derivative. the obtained results reveal that the proposed methods are very efficient and simple tools ...

poultry products are considered as one of the most important sources of food for humans, worldwide. indigenous poultry production has grown in popularity among villagers and some urbanites due to simple maintenance conditions, adequate adaption of poultry to different climatic conditions, and acceptable product yield. parasites are among the main pathogenic agents, threatening the health of pou...

best treatment option, although, there is no common consent on optimal therapy for advanced prostate cancer. case presentation: the present study reports a case of 75 year-old man who had a huge heterogeneous soft tissue mass lesion with non-homogeneous enhancement consisted low attenuated foci occupying pelvis cavity and lower abdomen with loss of mesenteric fat and invasion to posterior bladd...

background and objectives: the aim of our study was to characterize gizzard lactobacillus fermentum-group strains on the basis of their phenotypic profiles regarding characteristics of lactobacilli. in addition, their in vitro potential probiotic properties were evaluated. materials and methods: the lactic acid bacteria were isolated and identified from gizzard contents of algerian local poultr...

one of the important issues in hydraulic engineering is inspection of local scour depth around bridge pier. using piles is one of the ways for confronting local scour and erosion. in this study, the experiments were conducted in an 8m long, 0.5m deep and 0.25m wide flume. and the effectof using piles and number of them observed on the amount of scour in three different frude numbers. the shape ...
