acute respiratory distress syndrome (ards) is a potential complication of cardiac surgery, given that patients undergoing cabg frequently have hypoxemia and pulmonary dysfunction during initial hours after surgery. thus, ards criteria in these patients are more likely to be positive while these criteria may not match the patient`s clinical picture. we aimed to investigate frequency of rapid ons...

background: morphological changes of the cells infected with rubella virus cannot be observed easily. estimation of the size of the cultured cells can be a valuable parameter in this condition. this study was conducted to find answers to the following questions: how much time after infection with rubella virus, the volume and surface area of the vero cells and their nuclei get started to change...

BACKGROUND The short-term infusion of levosimendan (Levo) improves hemodynamic function in patients with decompensated heart failure. The metabolites of Levo have a prolonged half-life, and one is hemodynamically active. The goal of this study was to determine whether the hemodynamic effects of Levo are sustained during a long-term infusion and beyond the discontinuation of drug infusion. MET...

clofibrate is a glucuronosyl transferase inducer that has been proposed to increase the elimination of bilirubin in neonates with hyperbilirubinemia. this study was conducted to determine the therapeutic effect of clofibrate in term neonates with non-hemolytic jaundice. this study was conducted on 52 newborns with pathologic unconjugated jaundice in qazvin children hospital. newborns divided ra...

introduction : heat shock proteins (hsps) are molecular chaperones involved in protein folding, stability and turnover, and due to their role in cancer progression, the effect of low power laser irradiation (lpli) on the expression of hsp70 and hsp90 in jurkat e6.1 t-lymphocyte leukemia (jelt) cell line was investigated in vitro. methods : jetl cells were irradiated with lpli at 635nm and 780m ...

objective: following traumatic brain injury, disruption of blood-brain-barrier and consequent brain edema are critical events which might lead to increasing intracranial pressure (icp), and nerve damage. the current study assessed the effects of aqueous date fruit extract (adfe) on the aforementioned parameters. materials and methods: in this experimental study, diffused traumatic brain injury ...

Objective: Intense muscle contractions are associated with oxidative stress and immune system deficiency, especially in the presence of obesity. This study aimed to determine the effect of whey protein supplementation following eccentric resistance contractions on some determinants of oxidative stress in non-athletic obese students. Materials and Methods: In this double blinded randomized clin...
