pistacia vera l., a member of anacardiaceae family, has been used for sedation and analgesia in traditional medicine. in this study, the antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory effects as well as acute toxicity of the aqueous and ethanolic extracts of p. vera leaves were investigated in mice. the antinociceptive activity was studied using hot plate and writhing tests. the effect of the extracts a...

Resorbable plate systems have been used in maxillofacial surgery to obviate the need for plate removal. However, resorbable plates and screws are very costly, and refixation with additional screws may be necessary when reduction or repositioning of the bone segment is inaccurate. Here we report the use of self-tapping metal screws for temporary fixation of a resorbable plating system in maxillo...

Formaron parte estudio 102 participantes, los cuales 47 practicaban actividad físico-dep...

Millipore MultiScreenTM filter plates are used for elution of dried blood spot samples in neonatal screening assays. A significant concern with the use of these plates is their cost. In this study we have evaluated the practice of reusing the filter plates in the Bio-Rad PKU and total galactose neonatal assays. All wells of the test plates used in the recovery study above were washed for a fift...

OBJECTIVE To assess if the screw design (self-drilling/self-tapping) and the pilot hole tapping could affect the insertion torque and screw pullout strength of the screw used in anterior fixation of the cervical spine. METHODS Forty self-tapping screws and 20 self-drilling screws were inserted into 10 models of artificial bone and 10 cervical vertebrae of sheep. The studied parameters were th...

The vertical dimensions of the well-characterized test samples tobacco mosaic virus, T4 bacteriophage polyhead, purple membrane, and hexagonally packed intermediate (HPI) layer were investigated by tapping mode scanning force microscopy (SFM) in solution. Purple membrane and HPI layer were imaged in both contact mode and tapping mode SFM for direct comparison. All vertical dimensions match the ...

The piano-playing-like finger-tapping movement has been analyzed with a precision image-based motion analyzer (PRIMAS). 32 healthy subjects (148 recordings) and 10 Parkinsonian patients (25 recordings) were tested. The tracking of fingers during the whole movement increased the level of information obtained from the finger-tapping test compared to visual observation or to measurement with simpl...

We analyzed the characteristics of sounds generated by local taps on a violin top plate. examined gravitational center frequency spectrum tapping and investigated its distribution over The results showed that three categories violins, with two violins in each category, had similar within categories. plates made after 19th century northern Italy high centroid around f-holes, tops older Italian b...
