Aqueous (hydrophilic) and chloroform (Lipophilic) extracts of nine medicinal plants currently used in traditional medicine, in Egypt, to treat some gastrointestinal tract (GIT) disorders were tested for their gastro-protective effect against the incidence of peptic ulcer. Indomethacin-induced ulcer in a rat model was used for this testing. Mentha microphylla, Brassica oleracea Capitata (Cabbage...

objective: the use of drugs with herbal origin is increasing for treatment of gastrointestinal (gi) disorders. rosa damascena (r. damascena) is a well-known plant suggested to have beneficial effect on gi system. in this study, the effect of aqueous fraction of r. damascena on the contractionsofisolated guinea pig ileum was investigated. materials and methods: aqueous fraction of plant was obta...

Aims: Evidence-based guidelines for heart failure management depend mainly on current left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). However, fewer studies have examined the impact of prior LVEF. Patients may enter with midrange (HFmrEF) category when preserved (HFpEF) deteriorates or reduced (HFrEF) improves. In this study, we association between change in LVEF and adverse outcomes. Methods: HFmrE...

      Butyl-hydroxytoluene (BHT) is one of the major synthetic antioxidants with a wide range usage. Replacement of artificial antioxidants with natural antioxidants is highly considered. In this research, the antioxidant activity of Juniperus excelsa was investigated by using reducing power, DPPH radical scavenging and inhibition of lipid peroxidation. Also, the amounts of phenolic an...

background: study in design to incorporate accelerated proliferation correction factors into linearquadratic and multiple-component models. materials and methods: accelerated proliferation rate correction factor has been incorporated into the linearquadratic and the multiple component models by applying accelerated exponential cell growth to explain the tumor cell kinetics and estimates proper ...
