abstract background: to determine daily calcium, vitamin d intake and serum biochemical findings of rickets in adolescent girls. methods: a total of 414 healthy adolescent student girls aged 11-15 years were evaluated from various areas of tehran, iran with different socioeconomic status. a randomized, cross-sectional, prospective and descriptive study was undertaken for calculation of daily ca...

background: calcium (ca+2) plays an important role in many biophysiological mechanisms .the present study was carried out to assess alterations in total serum calcium level before and after operations in consider to the type of anesthesia. materials and methods: this descriptive study was conducted on 74 women who candidate for gynecological abdominal operations during one year at al-zahra mate...

Calcium doped nickel ferrite powders have been prepared by sol-gel combustion technique. Metal nitrates, such as calcium nitrate, nickel nitrate and ferric nitrate, were used as the source materials and citric acid and polyvinyl alcohol were used as the burning agent and agglomeration reducing agent, respectively. The average crystallite size of the prepared ferrite was in the order of ~70- 92 ...

i ntroduction: many of highly-alkaline dental materials have some adverse effects on physical properties of dentin. as basic substances, mineral trioxide aggregate (mta), calcium hydroxide (ch) and the new endodontic material, calcium-enriched mixture (cem) cement, may adversely affect dentin. the purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of long-term application of cem cement, ...

background: different techniques have been introduced to improve removing the calcium hydroxide intra-canal dressing. the purpose of this study was to compare the effi ciency of passive ultrasonic irrigation (pui) and rinsendo system in the removal of calcium hydroxide from root canal system. materials and methods: access cavities were prepared in 50 single-rooted anterior teeth. cleaning and s...

in this study, the possible involvement of l-type voltage-operated calcium channels in the vasorelaxant effect of the flavonoid quercetin was investigated, using the isolated aortic rings from normal male rats. addition of quercetin (0.1 µm-1 mm) caused a significant dose-dependent relaxation of noradrenaline (na)- and kcl-preconstricted rings and nifedipine attenuated this response, especially...
