Acute rhabdomyolysis and elevated transaminases during streptococcal pharyngitis are rare presentations. The proposed pathophysiological mechanisms include direct bacterial invasion toxin generation. Physicians should be aware of the association between these infections above-mentioned complications to facilitate optimal treatment patients. We present case a 18-years-old gentleman with β-haemol...

this article addresses the interplay between heat of hydration and physico-mechanical properties of calcium sulfate hemi-hydrate in the presence of retarding additives such as citric and malic acids and sodium citrate. the heat of hydration was measured using a semi-isothermal calorimeter. results proved that citric and malic acids had superior impact on hydration and mechanical properties. whi...

conclusions the administration of dextrose saline was associated with a shortened active phase and second stage of labor in vaginally delivered nulliparous women. results of 174 objects enrolled, 150 women delivered vaginally and completed the study. there was a significant difference in the duration of active phase between the groups (ns: 270.20 ± 13.37 minutes; d5ns: 206.67 ± 11.72 minutes) (...

Abstract: There have been lots of studies to control the poor hydration resistance of dolomite refractories one of themost effective solutions has been the addition of magnesia to doloma. Using a co-clinker of magnesia-doloma as astarting material would provide more homogeneity in the properties of the product and has been published recently.On the other hand, addition of iron oxide to doloma h...

Background:Toxic contamination of fish may compromise food safety. Haff disease is a rare syndrome characterized by rhabdomyolysis following consumption of cooked, freshwater fish. Case Report: A healthy 42 year old female presented three hours after eating fried buffalo fish (Ictiobus cyprinellis). Her symptoms began while eating the fish, described as diffuse muscle aches followed by generali...

abstract physiologists have shown that increased fluids improve skeletal muscle performance in prolonged exercise. typical orders provide for 125 ml of intravenous fluids per hour in patients taking limited oral fluids during labor. our purpose in this study was to determine whether increased intravenous fluids affect the progress oflabor. in a prospective randomized institutional clinical tria...

objective: assessment of subgingival human cytomegalovirus (hcmv) and epstein barr virus (ebv-1) in subjects with aggressive periodontitis. materials and methods: samples were obtained from plaques formed in subgingival regions of 26 aggressive periodontitis patients. all specimens were submitted to polymerase chain reaction in order to detect hcmv and ebv-1. results: hcmv and ebv-1 were observ...

background: aggressive fibromatosis is a rare benign tumor with no potential for metastasis; however, its aggressive nature causes treatment failure and episodes of recurrence. there is no report from iran about the treatment of this tumor, and all published articles are single-case reports, therefore in this study, we report our experience from two of the largest referral centers of the south ...

In this study, the effect of variety of Nano- additives doping on the hydration resistance of the MgO-CaO system was investigated. Samples were prepared from calcined dolomite and magnesite. Nano-additives that contained cations with various valences (trivalent and tetravalent) used as  a dopant. The bulk density, apparent porosity and hydration resitance were studied and evaluated. Also, phase...

In this study the effect of nano meter size ZrO2 particles on the microstructure, densification and hydration resistance of magnesite –dolomite refractories was investigated. 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 wt. % ZrO2 particles that were added to magnesite –dolomite refractories containing 35 wt. % CaO. The Hydration resistance was measured by change in the weight of specimens after 72 h at 25℃ an...
