to assess the effectiveness of ondansetron pretreatment in alleviating propofol injection pain, 135 patients were randomly assigned to one of following three groups. group 1 who received up to 2 ml pretreatment 50 mg tramadol in the saline, group 2 cases who received up to 2 ml pretreatment 4 mg ondansetron in saline, and group 3 who received up to 2 ml solution saline. a 20 gauge cannula was p...

we reported a 35 year old breast cancer patient who was referred to our nuclear medicine department for sentinel node mapping. she was planned to undergo mastectomy and lymphatic mapping. a dose of tc-99m phytate was injection in the peri-areolar region in an intra-dermal fashion. two hours post-injection no sentinel node was visible in the axilla. due to a high liver uptake, inadvertent intra-...

purpose: to study the pattern of perfusion of central retinal artery (cra) after 0.1 ml intravitreal injection of bevacizumab to verify the need for any maneuver to decrease the intraocular pressure (iop) including anterior chamber paracentesis (acp) methods: this is a prospective, interventional, noncomparative case series. patients receiving intravitreal injection of bevacizumab for choroidal...

oxyntomodulin (oxm), a proglucagon-derived peptide, is a well known anorexigenic peptide found inthe gut and brain of mammals. the present study was carried out to investigate the central effect of oxm onfood intake in non-fasted and fasted ross broiler chicks. at four weeks of age, a guide cannula wasstereotaxically implanted into the right lateral ventricle of each bird. two experiments were ...

mice are ideal models for icsi experiments because of the ease of culturing eggs/embryos in vitro and the availability of ample genetic information. unfortunately, it has been extremely difficult. in this study we improved the mouse icsi method by using a new holding pipette that was made of two pipettes such that one pipette was pulled and heat merged into the other one. the outer pipette had ...

the effect of a combined system of the bed suction and jet injection as a pier-scour countermeasure on the turbulent flow field is studied in a laboratory flume using an acoustic doppler velocimeter (adv). the three components of the velocities in the vertical symmetry plane in the equilibrium scour hole in front and rear of the pier under 3-jet injections and bed suction rate qs/q0 = 2%located...

results all patients experienced improvement in the wrinkles of the side treated by the combination therapy compared to the other side. in addition, less complication was observed in the side that underwent combination therapy. conclusions our study showed that autologous fat in combination with platelet gel might have better cosmetic results as well as lesser complications in the healing of na...

purpose : to determine the maximum non-toxic dose of recombinant human erythropoietin (epo) in rabbit eyes methods : eight rabbits (sixteen eyes) were scheduled for evaluating side effects of four intravitreal doses of 1000, 2000, 4000 and 5000 iu of epo, two rabbits for each dose. for each dose (two rabbits), the drug was injected for the right eyes. balanced salt solution (bss) was injected i...
