Morphometric alterations induced by the toxicity of variable sizes of silver nanoparticles

Int. j. morphol; 33 (2), 2015
Silver nanoprticles (SNPs) are invested in medical, industrial and environmental applications. Little if any, is known about the morphometric alterations induced by the toxicity of SNPs. The aim of the present work is to find out the effect of variable size of SNPs on different morphometric parameters. A...

Sterilizing elastomeric chains without losing mechanical properties. Is it possible?

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of different sterilization/disinfection methods on the mechanical properties of orthodontic elastomeric chains. METHODS: Segments of elastomeric chains with 5 links each were sent for sterilization by cobalt 60 (Co60) (20 KGy) gamma ray technology. After the procedur...

Local analgesic effect of tramadol is not mediated by opioid receptors in early postoperative pain in rats

Rev. bras. anestesiol; 65 (3), 2015
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Tramadol is known as a central acting analgesic drug, used for the treatment of moderate to severe pain. Local analgesic effect has been demonstrated, in part due to local anesthetic-like effect, but other mechanisms remain unclear. The role of peripheral opioid receptors in th...
