objectives: the purpose of this study was to determine the functional mobility and balance in the elders after total hip arthroplasty in healthy coparison to elders. methods & materials: the current cross-sectional study was done on 20 patients (70.9±4.2) with hip osteoarthritis 6 months after total hip arthroplasty and 20 healthy subjects (73±5.7) as control group. patient group was assigned w...

background: the aim of the present study was to find the effects of cadmium (cd) on japanese quail on the role of an animal model in order to understand the toxicity of cd in creatures presented, within the environment. methods: one hundred 30-day-old male japanese quails were equally divided into the control group and cd group. the control group received no cd while the cd group was given form...

Cardiovascular (CV) toxicity is a leading contributor to drug attrition. Implementing earlier testing has successfully reduced human Ether-à-go-go-Related Gene-related arrhythmias. How- ever, analogous assays targeting functional CV effects remain elusive. Demand to address this gap is particularly acute for kinase inhibitors (KIs) that suffer frequent CV toxicity. The drug class also presents ...

Most studies designed for assessing teratogenic effects focus on only three of four types of final manifestations of abnormal development; namely intrauterine death, malformations, and growth retardation. Developmental toxicity evaluations generally do not include functional deficits. Current techniques are inadequate for assessing functional capability during perinatal development, and there i...

Surfactants can be extremely toxic to aquatic species and are introduced to the environment in a variety of ways. It is thus important to understand how other environmental constituents, in this case humic acids (HAs), may alter the toxicity of anthropogenic surfactants. Hatching and mortality assays of Artemia Franciscana were performed for three different toxic surfactants: Triton X-100 (Tx-1...
