Preoperative Celecoxib effect on postoperative pain management in patients undergoingleg surgery: A randomized clinical trial

Background: Preoperative pain management is an important aspect for anesthetists. Using analgesics before the surgery can delay pain feeling and analgesic request by patients. We compared the effectiveness and priority of single dose 400 mg celecoxib, over two doses of 200 mg celecoxib in patients undergoing leg surgery.

Goat foraging activities in rangeland in high catchment zone of Mandrare, Southern Madagascar

The edible forage resources were studied with Ruminants behaviour in the High Bassin zone of Mandrare in Southern Madagascar. Analysing the floristic components and goat foraging behaviour allowed determination of nutritive value, bite rate and preference ratio in rangelands. Sampled areas were monitored to record the floristic formation within calculated parameters such as species quality index, pastoral value and preference ratio.

The contribution of social sustainability on livability of pedestrian streets in Urban settlements: An example of Santa Monica, Los Angles

During the last two decades, social sustainability in communities has become an interested topic among urban scholars and researchers. Unfortunately, there is no pervasive study that has been carried out to evaluate the impacts of social sustainability on the livability of public spaces in urban settlements. Especially, pedestrian streets are an important part of open spaces that have significant contributions to creating a better quality of life, lowering atmospheric emissions and increasing rates of walking in urban settlements.

Efficient mining high utility item sets from transactional databases using up-growth and up-growth+ algorithm

One of the important research area in data mining is high utility pattern mining. Discovering item sets with high utility like profit from database is known as high utility item set mining. There are number of existing algorithms have been work on this issue. Some of them incurs problem of generating large number of candidate item sets. This leads to degrade the performance of mining in case of execution time and space. In this paper we have focus on UP-Growth and UP-Growth+ algorithm which overcomes this limitation.

Complications of beta-Thalassemia patients and their related factors in Iran

Purpose: β-thalassemia is one of the most common hereditary diseases in the world. Frequent blood transfusions for symptomatic treatment of the disease minimize the associated complications such as ineffective hematopoises and anemia. However, iron overloading is caused by frequent blood transfusions leading to a variety of other complications such as liver, heart and endocrine disorders as well. The aim of this study was to determine the β-thalassemia associated complications and also other factors associated with the symptomatic treatment of this disease.

Steady flow simulation in Anambe river basin using HEC-RAS

In many developing countries, food safety became a top priority for authorities and water resources managers. It is directly related to human’s life and economic development. Due to this necessity, the government of Senegal has selected the valley of Anambe of 16000 ha, to develop irrigated agriculture through rice cultivation. Two dams (Niandouba and Confluent) have been built to reinforce water availability due to climate change and variability effect on the rainfall.  For a better management of this hydraulic system, the knowledge of flow dynamic is required.

Pleiotropic effects of Nutraceuticals

In the recent years there is growing interest in nutraceuticals. These are natural products and provide alternative to medicines. Risk of toxicity or adverse effect of allopathic and ayurvedic drugs has shift more emphasis on the safe use of nutraceuticals. Nutraceuticals provide health benefits and helps in the prevention or treatment of various diseases. These fall under various categories such as Dietary fiber, Probiotics, Prebiotics, Polyunsaturated fatty acids, Antioxidants.

Birth preparedness and obstetric health complications: A study based on a tertiary hospital of Mumbai

A quantitative study was carried out in a tertiary-care hospital to examine the level of birth-preparedness and experience of obstetric health complications among women those were from lower socio-economic strata of Mumbai. Asemi-structured questionnaire was developed and open-ended questions were included to interview 300 women who delivered during January-May 2013 in the selected hospital. Total eight components of birth-preparedness was considered in the study and a woman that satisfied at least three of the components was considered as ‘well-prepared’.

Analysis of Arsenic from water by Spectrophotometric method

Arsenic compounds are widely used, have been recognized as toxicants. The arsenic contaminated drinking water Arsenic from water may be determined by many methods such as atomic adsorption spectroscopy (AAS), Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES), electrochemistry and spectrophotometry with silver diethyldithiocarbamate. This article presents a study on the arsenic determination from water by spectrophotometric method based on molybdate reagent. This method poses high sensitivity and selectivity but has not been studied in detail.
