c-reactive protein (crp) is an acute-phase protein synthesized predominantly by the hepatocytes in response to tissue damage or inflammation. levels of acute-phase proteins rise rapidly, during infection and after injury. we take up the study to correlate serum crp levels with other important predictive markers of outcome in copd. patient with stable copd (no exacerbation in the last two months...

background and purpose: vitamin c is administered orally or intravenously for the treatment of burn wounds. however, effects of the topical application of vitamin c remain unclear. this study aimed to evaluate the effects of topical vitamin c solution on the necrotic tissue volume of second-degree burn wounds. methods: this clinical trial was conducted on 30 patients with second-degree burns ad...

background: the mean platelet volume (mpv) is the most commonly used measure of platelet size and is a potential marker of platelet reactivity. in this study, we aimed to explore the relationship between hepatic  histopathology in viral hepatitis and mpv levels,which are associated with platelet count and activity. materials and methods: we performed a retrospective case-control study of baseli...

the purpose of this study is to identify the effect of ordinary kriging (ok) and inverse distance weighted (idw) estimation methods for the delineation of mineralized zones based on subsurface data using concentration–volume (c–v) multifractal modeling in the dardevey iron ore deposit, ne iran. variograms and anisotropic ellipsoid were generated for the fe distribution by the above estimation m...

conclusions while the crp value was in patients with acute brucellosis in the current study, the mpv, rdw and leukocyte counts were within the normal range. crp value remains the most valuable inflammatory marker in cases of acute brucellosis. results the follow-up within the year after treatment was examined. the values of age, gender, leukocyte count, c-reactive protein, rdw and mpv were reco...

The effect of the volume flow rate of the heat transfer fluid (air) on the thermal parameters of the solar air collector with a single air pass without using fins under the absorbing plate have been investigated experimentally and theoretically. We use a new design of solar air collector which aims to optimize these parameters in the region cited above. Our solar air collector was realized at t...
