background: radiation-induced discomfort is frequently observed during pelvic radiotherapy. this study was performed to determine the effect of a green tea tablet to reduce the incidence of radiation-induced diarrhea and vomiting in patients with abdomen and pelvic malignancy. materials and methods: this randomized controlled clinical trial recruited 42 patients with abdomen and pelvic malignan...

sterilized soils are commonly used for the study of xenobiotic sorption and as an abiotic control in biodegradation experiments. they are also used for the chemical study of nitrogen and carbon cycle processes and the elimination of the biological factors. in this research the effects of different soil sterilization methods such as autoclaving, fumigating and exposure to ultraviolet and microwa...

intravenous laser blood irradiation was first introduced into therapy by the soviet scientists en.meschalkin and vs.sergiewski in 1981. originally this method was developed for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. improvement of rheologic properties of the blood as well as improvement of microcirculation and reduction of the area of infarction has been proved. further, reduction of dysrhyt...

in the present study, aminoazines were prepared from the reaction of amidrazone hydroiodide with various aromatic aldehydes in the presence of a solid base under microwave irradiation with power level of 850 w for 2-7 min in high yields. the amidrazone hydroiodide can also be prepared by the reaction of s-methyl isothiobenzamide hydroiodide and hydrazine in methanol under nitrogen gas. all synt...

background: organophosphorus pesticides are one of the most consumable poisons. such poisons can enter water sources by different routes. since consuming some drinking water containing an amount of poison higher than the standard level, causes undesirable effects on human health. this research aimed to study the effectiveness of elimi­nating malathion from water by ultraviolet irradiation (uv) ...

This study includes four years of our clinical trials to improve implant quality in multicatheter accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI). The progress in dosimetric and volumetric parameters of the treatment plans was evaluated. One hundred and ninety-one women, for whom treatment plans were made based on three dimensional imaging, were selected for the study. To evaluate progress made i...

craniospinal irradiation plus posterior fossa boost (cs1) is the standard modality of post-operative treatment of patient with medulloblastoma, but considering the technical difficulties and limited facilities, often whole- brain irradiation plus posterior fossa boost (wbi) had been used in our institution until 1991. tust a retrospective study was undertaken to compare the patients treated by ...

radiation-related wounds challenge surgeons in all disciplines of surgery. wound-healing complications are commonplace, and solutions for reconstruction are limited. muscle and musculocutaneous flaps have improved this situation. but the question is, does previous radiation of the muscle to be transposed affect the outcome? 143 consecutive previously irradiated patients treated with muscle or m...

phthalocyanine complexes of cu, co, ni, fe, zn, pd, pt and ru have been synthesized from reaction between phthalonitrile and proper metal salts upon exposure to microwave irradiation under solvent-free conditions and considerably reduced reaction times.
