abstract: there is always a need to increase a distillate output of solar still. if plates will be used inside solar still then distillate output of solar still are expected to increase. hence, an experimental study is conducted to improve distillate output of basin solar stills by increasing the effective surface area with the help of different plates. for the purpose of experiment, three sola...

Growth impairment (GI) is one of the adverse effects of dexamethasone (DXM), and growth hormone (GH) has been used clinically to improve GI. The present study aimed to evaluate the manner in which DXM disturbs the growth rate of longitudinal bones, and the recovery effects of GH on DXM-induced GI in the longitudinal bones of adolescent male rats. In the first experiment, DXM (0, 0.5, 1, 2 and 5...

1',1'-Dimethylheptyl-Delta-8-tetrahydrocannabinol-11-oic acid (CT-3) is a novel cannabinoid that is under development by Atlantic Pharmaceuticals as an anti-inflammatory and analgesic drug. The objective of the study was to investigate the effects of CT-3 on overt symptom complex (Irwin's test), nociception, gastrointestinal (GI) ulceration, and pharmacological availability after intragastric (...

background: acute upper gi bleeding (ugib) is a common medical emergency situation. in the past years, important changes have taken place that might have influenced the incidence, etiology, and outcome for patients with acute ugib. the aim of this study was to determine current time trends in the incidence, management, and prognosis of patients with ugib in 14 years period in a region in center...

We formulate a control problem for GI/GI/N+GI queue, whose objective is to trade off the long-run average operational costs with server utilization costs. To solve problem, we consider an asymptotic regime in which arrival rate and number of servers grow large. The solution associated fluid motivates that non-idling service disciplines are not general optimal, unless some arrivals turned away. ...

background: it is thought that the transmission of hepatitis b virus (hbv) through the endoscopic procedures is a very rare event. the aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of the standard disinfection procedure of the endoscopes and accessories versus conventional disinfection in the transmission of hbv. materials and methods: a prospective survey, comprising 520 consecutive upper gastro...
