Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles have received growing attention for several biomedical applications. Nanoparticles proposed for these applications possess the potential to interact with biological components such as the blood, cells/ tissues following their administration into the body. Hence we carried out in vivo investigations in Swiss Albino Mice to understand the interaction of ZnO nanorods...

Background: Children with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura who are treated with intravenous immunoglobulin therapy might experience a decline in their absolute neutrophil count. The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of neutropenia following intravenous immunoglobulin therapy in children with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura undergoing intravenous immunoglobulin therapy. ...

In previous papers (1, 2), it has been reported that in male rats the administration of morphine and also starvation caused a marked decrease in the activities of drug-metabolizing enzymes of liver microsomes for hexobarbital hydroxylation and aminopyrine N-demethyl ation, but this was not the case in female rats. On the other hand, the activities of drug metabolizing enzymes for aniline hydrox...

background: energy deficit is a common and serious problem in pediatric intensive care units. parenteral nutrition, either alone or in combination with enteral nutrition, can improve nutrient delivery in critically ill patients by preventing or correcting the energy deficit and improving the outcomes. intralipid 10% and 20% are lipid emulsions, widely used in parenteral nutrition. despite sever...

Background: Intravenous cannulation is one of the most common painful procedures that is being used as a routine part of primary care or during diagnostic workups. This procedure is an invasion to physical and psychological space of children and it’s pain must be managed. This clinical trial has been conducted to determine and compare the effects of two music and Hay – Ho Rhythmic Breathing tec...
