liquid paraffin has been suggested as a good laxative comparing to lactulose as a treatment option in pediatric constipation. this study was performed to compare liquid paraffin with lactulose in pediatric constipation. a total of 247 patients (127 males and 120 females) aged 2-12 years (mean 4.1 ± 2.7 years) with chronic functional constipation were included in an 8 week, randomized, controlle...

PURPOSE To investigate the molecular basis of hereditary lattice corneal dystrophy (LCD) type IIIA associated with corneal amyloid deposits afflicting several members of a four-generation family. METHODS Histologic, immunohistochemical and biochemical studies were performed on corneal tissue samples obtained after perforating keratoplasty. DNA was extracted from peripheral blood leukocytes. A...

BACKGROUND Antibodies against M-type phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) are serological markers of disease activity in patients with idiopathic membranous nephropathy (iMN). To determine the most sensitive test for the diagnosis of PLA2R-related membranous nephropathy (MN) irrespective of sampling time, we investigated the presence of PLA2R in glomerular immune deposits and assessed circulating ...

hazelnuts are usually propagated by suckers or layering. however, other methods of propagation have been tested with variable results. grafting is a method that has a few advantages such as fast multiplication rate, earlier fruiting and reducing sucker removal cost on specific rootstocks. unfortunately, grafting is difficult due to slow formation of callus in hazelnuts. here, we report the hypo...

background and objective: given the widespread use of paraffin in the treatment of constipation in chil-dren and the possibility of long duration of drug use and the risk of drug leakage, the risk of urinary infection in these patients is considerable. the aim of this study was to determine the association between leakage of paraf-fin and the presence or exacerbation of the urinary infection an...

The problem of the formation organic deposits on inside surfaces borehole equipment and oilfield pipelines, which is urgent for all active oil fields, was considered in study. these leads to decreased lifespans accidents involving pipelines wells. aim our work estimate dependencies deposition’s formation-rate factor water cut investigated water–oil emulsion mineralization phase. Examination via...

The Skellefte mining District is located in northern Sweden and comprises Palaeoproterozoic, metamorphosed, supracrustal rocks and associated intrusive rocks, which are all host to several ore deposits. Modelling was performed in the GoCAD software platform, using structural geology and petrology as well as magnetic, gravity, seismic, electric and electromagnetic geophysical data, in order to p...

This paper summarises the use of digital remotely sensed data for Quaternary deposits mapping in central Sweden. Landsat TM scene of the beginning of May 1985 was applied. Only six groups of quaternary deposits were distinguished. The classification accuracy of the resultant map was about 50 % in average. Comparison was done with the existing map of Quaternary deposits.
