In study of intra-individual variation of serum constituents, we used analysis of variance to separate biological from analytical variation, the latter being estimated from results for duplicate specimens. However, the replication error term in such a model may grossly overestimate instrumental variability, especially when a significant pre-instrumental error component is present. To separate p...

Introduction: Medication errors are among the most serious health errors threatening patient safety in all countries, with major impacts on public health. Midwives as members of healthcare systems are prone to such errors. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to determine medication errors and the contributing factors among midwives working in maternity units of Mashhad University of Medical Scie...

Approximately 10% of the alkaline phosphatase activity in human kidney is derived from the intestinal-type alkaline phosphatase isoform, which can be differentiated from adult intestinal alkaline phosphatase by selective reactivity with monoclonal antibodies. The NH2-terminal sequence of the renal intestinal-type alkaline phosphatase was shown to be identical to sequences of the adult and mecon...

Bone alkaline phosphatase was evaluated by wheat-germ lectin precipitation in several clinical conditions. The study included 33 premenopausal healthy women, 46 postmenopausal apparently healthy women, 19 growing children, 24 patients with Paget's disease, 31 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism and 66 patients with hepatobiliary diseases. In postmenopausal women the mean T score (i.e.: th...

objectives: osteoblasts are the most important cells in the osseointegration process. despite years of study on dental implants, limited studies have discussed the effect of saliva on the adhesion process of osteoblasts to implant surfaces. the aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of saliva on morphology and differentiation of osteoblasts attached to implant surfaces. materials...

ingested corrosive substances produce different injuries, ranging from minor gastro esophageal burns to death, depending on the agent type, amount, concentration, and duration of substance exposure. the purpose of this study was to investigate the outcomes and different causes of mortality in patients ingesting caustic substances. in a prospective study, between april 1999 and january 2006, a t...

in this research, graphene was synthesized by chemical vapor deposition (cvd) method in atmosphere pressure (14.7 psi). different functionalization method was used for oxidizing of graphene such as acid and alkaline treatments. the functionalized graphene (fg) was characterized by ftir and raman spectroscopy. nanofluid with water and different concentration (0.05, 0.15 and 0.25 wt %) of fg were...
