background: the compositions of ferrous sulphate, agarose and xylenol orange dye (fax) and ferrous sulphate, gelatin and xylenol orange dye (fgx) in solution of distilled water and sulphuric acid are two tissue-equivalent gel dosimeters. ionizing radiation causes oxidation of fe2+ ion to fe3+ ions which diffuse through the gel matrix and blur the image of absorbed dose over a period of hours af...

background: ornithobilharziosis as one of the parasitic infections may give rise to serious economic problems in animal husbandry. the aim of the study was to prepare and compare the somatic and excretory-secretory (es) antigens of o. tur­kestanicum in gel diffusion test. methods: excretory-secretory (es) and somatic antigens of ornithobilharzia turkestanicum were prepared from collected worms ...

introduction two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2dge) is a powerful technique in proteomics for protein separation. in this technique, spot segmentation is an essential stage, which can be challenging due to problems such as overlapping spots, streaks, artifacts and noise. watershed transform is one of the common methods for image segmentation. nevertheless, in 2dge image segmentation, the no...

Background: The compositions of Ferrous sulphate, Agarose and Xylenol orange dye (FAX) and Ferrous sulphate, Gelatin and Xylenol orange dye (FGX) in solution of distilled water and sulphuric acid are two tissue-equivalent gel dosimeters. Ionizing radiation causes oxidation of Fe2+ ion to Fe3+ ions which diffuse through the gel matrix and blur the image of absorbed dose over a period of hours af...

celecoxib is used in the treatment of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, acute pain, joint inflammation and sport injuries. long term administration of the drug results in such complications as gastrointestinaland renal disturbances and cardio-vascular complications. the main objective of the present study was to investigate the feasibility of delivering celecoxib incorporated in gel formula...

Silicone is a polymer widely used for medical purposes, including breast implants. The aim of this work is to verify the occurrence of silicone gel diffusion through the lining membrane (bleed) of gel breast implants with smooth, textured, and polyurethane foam coated surfaces, sterilized by dry heat and ethylene oxide. The results enable us to conclude that there is significant difference for ...
