results pain scores, analgesic requirements assessed at 24 hours and operation duration were significantly lower in the non-closure group as compared to the closure group. febrile conditions and changes in hemoglobin levels were similar in both groups. conclusions non-closure of both visceral and the parietal peritoneum when performing a cs produces a significant reduction in pain, fewer analge...

introduction: the aim of this study was to report surgical strategies and clinical outcomes for thoraco-lumbar intradural lipomas. intraspinal lipomas are rare congenital histologically benign neoplasms, which account for less than 1% of all spinal cord tumors. these tumors are most frequently found in the lumbosacral area as components of a dysraphic state, however, intramedullary lipomas are ...

Implantation of intraocular lenses has become the standard of care in the aphakic state. Ideally, the lens is placed in the capsular bag, which affords stable fixation at a position closest to the nodal point of the eye. However, there will always be instances where this will not be possible. Congenital weakness of the lens zonules in various conditions, trauma, and surgical complications of ca...

introduction: good radiographs are required for endodontic therapy and because some patient’s are intolerant to intraoral films and/or sensors, this can cause complications in endodontic treatment. extraoral film placement can be used to obtain clinically diagnostic and working radiographs. materials and methods: the no. 2 receptor was placed against the model ’ s cheek and centered in the mola...

background: dna extraction is one the most important steps for molecular analysis of food-borne pathogens. in this research, three methods of dna extractions from beef harboring sarcocystis spp. were compared for the quality, quantity, safety, as well as cost-effectiveness. methods: about 100 mg intersostal and diaphragm were collected from 10 slaughtered cattle. after ensuring their contaminat...

introduction: the main agents of sarcocystosis in cattle as an intermediate host include s. cruzi, s. hominis and s. hirsuta. a sensitive and specific tool such as molecular-based techniques would be necessary to identify the species. case report: after collection of beef sample from yazd slaughterhouse, dna extraction was done with salting out method. the 18srrna gene as a specific target gene...

objectives to develop a guide to estimate blood absorbed by surgical gauze. materials and methods a clinical experiment was conducted using aspirated blood and common surgical gauze to create a realistic amount of absorbed blood in the gauze. different percentages of staining were photographed to create an analogue for the amount of blood absorbed by the gauze. results a visual analogue scale w...

background: sarcocystosis is one of the most widespread parasitic diseases in cattle caused by three main species of sarcocystis genus. the major aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of sarcocystis spp. in meat produced in yazd, central iran with special reference to species identification, using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (pcr-rflp).  method...
