conclusions the findings of this study indicated that the economic burden of tbis was high in fatal accidents in fars province so that it was equivalent to 0.00011% of iran’s gross domestic product (gdp) in 2013. therefore, more attention has to be paid to the rules to prevent the fatal accidents. results deaths resulting from tbis due to traffic accidents in shiraz imposed 6.2 billion rials (5...

one of the most important factors responsible for axonal degeneration following spinal cord trauma is ischemia produced by cord compression. previous studies have revealed that omental transposition upon the injured site of the spinal cord could be beneficial in the induction of partial improvement of neuroelectrical and motor function in laboratory animals. the purpose of this study is to veri...

compound action potential (cap) of spinal cord represents valuable properties of neural fibers including excitability, rate of myelination and membrane integrity. these properties are measured using amplitude, latency and area under curve of caps recorded from spinal cord. here, the isolated spinal cord was set in a double sucrose gap (dsg) chamber and its response to intracellular stimulation ...

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in young adults and children, and is a leading public health problem worldwide. In TBI, neurological impairment is caused by immediate brain tissue disruption (primary injury) and post‑injury cellular and molecular events (secondary injury) that exacerbate the primary neurological insult. However, the destructi...

introduction: it is believed that injury potential has a regulatory role in wound healing process and the application of exogenous electrical stimulation may serve to mimic the natural endogenous bioelectric current so that can improve the wound healing. up to now, this hypothesis has not been researched in surgically acute wounds. materials and methods: thirty nine male guinea pigs were random...

WARNING: Potential liver injury TRACLEER® causes at least 3-fold (upper limit of normal; ULN) elevation of liver aminotransferases (ALT and AST) in about 11% of patients, accompanied by elevated bilirubin in a small number of cases. Because these changes are a marker for potential serious liver injury, serum aminotransferase levels must be measured prior to initiation of treatment and then mont...
