uniaxial compressive strength (ucs) and elastic properties of rocks play a major and vital role for the design of any engineering structure. the specimen diameter size is one of the main factors that influencing on ucs, elasticity modulus and poisson’s ratio (e and υ). here, an attempt has been made to investigate the effect of specimen diameter size on ucs, e and υ. moreover, we studied the co...

nitric oxide (no) is an important molecule synthesized during wound repair. studies have reported the use of no donors on cutaneous wound repair, but their effects in different phases of healing are not elucidated. the aim of this work was to investigate the effects of topical sildenafil on wounds in rats. sildenafil (25 mg) was topically applied once daily on wound in treatment groups. on days...

introduction: renal length measurement is an important diagnostic clue in several urinary tract abnormalities. although ultra sonography is the most frequent used modality for renal size estimation, renal diameter assessment by 99mtc-dmsa scintigraphy is of great value. by now, pointing to the renal size in the 99mtc-dmsa scintigraphy report has not been recommended by guidelines. if the validi...

introduction: acute skin wound healing is a complicated process comprising various phases. recent animal studies have shown that steroid sex hormones such as estrogen maybe helpful in the regulation of several pathophysiologic stages that are involved in wound healing. in this study we examined the effects of topical estrogen in the treatment of traumatic facial wounds.   materials and methods:...

objective(s) the process of wound healing involves tightly integrated events including inflammation, granulation tissue formation and remodeling. systemic administration of l-arginine promotes wound healing but its global side effects are undesirable. to confine the action of l-arginine at the site of injury, we tested the effects of local administration of l-arginine on the healing of excision...

Aim: To evaluate the effect of intracameral lidocaine anesthesia (ILA) and subconjunctival (SLA) administered during cataract surgery on development prevalence intraoperative floppy iris syndrome (IFIS). 
 Material Method: The study involved medical records 86 patients having no risk factors other than small pupil size for IFIS whom ILA and/or SLA were applied phacoemulsification surgery. ...
