The paper is devoted to the results of microscopic analysis structure fire-resistant materials developed on basis local mineral raw materials. authors point out that in this regard, a special place occupied by refractory materials, because use various radiation and designs microscopes from optical electronic requires preparation objects methods for deciphering observed images. Moreover, these r...

To clarify the management and treatment for the refractory cases of secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP), we analyzed the clinical features in SSP complicating three cases of advanced silicosis, and discussed the available treatment. All three cases were males of age ranging from 60 to 70 years, and had silicosis with massive progressive fibrosis (PMF), classified as type 4 (PR4) according ...

objective neuropsychological impairment is an important co-morbidity of chronic epilepsy. the aim of this study was to determine the state of the cognitive and motor development of patients with refractory epilepsy. materials & methods  we studied 150 consecutive children with epilepsy who were referred to mofid children hospital, a third level public referral university hospital in tehran, ira...

objective several investigations have demonstrated that rosa damascena has an inhibitory effect on the hypothalamus and on pituitary system reactivity in the rat; it has also been shown that the essential oil of rosa damascena has significant antiepileptic effects on pentylentetrazole (ptz) induced seizures in rats. we aimed at assessing the effects of the essential oil of rosa damascena when u...

Initial stages of the refractory degradation process by molten Al-5Mg alloy were investigated analyzing structures caused an interaction with metal during heat cycles. The aggregate, found to be poly-crystalline, consisting cristobalite (SiO2) and mullite (Al6Si2O13), was deteriorated ahead surrounding matrix. Metal permeated into refractory, forming a thin layer along crucible surface below li...
