infertility is one of the most stressful conditions amongst married couples. male factor infertility is implicated in almost half of these cases. recent advances in the field of reproductive medicine have focused the attention of many researchers to consider reactive oxygen species (ros) as one of the mediators of infertility causing sperm dysfunction. although, ros is involved in many physiolo...

although sport-physiologists have repeatedly analyzed respiratory gases through exercise, it is relatively new in the cardiovascular field and is obviously more acceptable than standard exercise test, which gives only information about the existence or absence of cardiovascular diseases (cvds). through the new method of exercise test, parameters including aerobic and anaerobic are checked and m...

a simple mathematical model of steady state  oxygen distribution subject to diffusive transport and non- linear uptake in a retinal cylinder has been developed. the approximate analytical solution to a reaction- diffusion equation are obtained by using series expansions. the computational results for the scaled variables are presented through graphs. the effect of the important parameters (1) d...

background: trauma is a major healthcare challenge worldwide. in developing countries, most road deaths happen during the pre-hospital phase; consequently, pre-hospital trauma care has received considerable attention during the past decades. objectives: the aim of this study was to investigate the quality of pre-hospital oxygen therapy in patients with multiple trauma. patients and methods: thi...

Oxygen is an essential part of the most important metabolic pathways in aerobic organisms. Oxygen delivery is merely dependent on blood, rendering blood loss a devastating event. Traumatic pre-hospital liver bleeding is a major cause of early trauma deaths in human and animals, with no established therapeutic method yet. Increasing intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) has been shown to reduce liver b...

water quality aspect with regard to dissolved oxygen was studied for a 24 kilometer stretch of malaprabha river in karnataka state, india. main objective of the research was to simulate the predicted dissolved oxygen depletion due to the waste load allocation in the river with the ambient observed values of dissolved oxygen, and to ascertain the application of mathematical modeling for predicti...

one of the methods to reduce the emissions in a diesel engine is by oxygen introduction into the combustion chamber which can be done by supplying the oxygen into the inlet manifold during suction stroke. oxygen affects different parameters such as brake thermal efficiency, fuel consumption, nox and smoke at different load conditions. load test was conducted for various concentrations of oxygen...

neuroserpin, a member of the serine proteinase inhibitor (serpin) superfamily, is known to be a neuroprotective factor in the focal ischemic stroke followed by reducing the microglial activation. neuroserpin is a protein rich of methionine residues that can scavenge the free radical species which may increase its neuroprotective effect. on the other hand, the oxidative modifications of the amin...

background: combination of glycation and oxidation is associated with diabetes mellitus. the aim of this study was to clarify the effect of glycated proteins in presence of transition metal ions on production of reactive oxygen species (ros) in rat hepatocyte suspension.  methods: glycated albumin was prepared by incubation of bovine serum albumin with 100 mm glucose in 0.3 m phosphate buffer a...
