Introduction: Over the last decade, exposure to non-ionizing electromagnetic waves due to base station antenna has increased. This in vivo study was planned for evaluating the effects of whole-body exposure to 950 MHz field of GSM mobile phone system on rat dentate gyrus long-term potentiation. Materials and Methods: 24 naive male Wistar rats (3 month old, 225|¡|25 g) were randomly divided in t...

Introduction: Methamphetamine (METH) is a neurotoxic psychostimulant with highly addictive potential that leads to compulsive drug use and vulnerability to relapse. Environmental cues, such as drug exposure, peer influence, and social stress, are the powerful triggers of drug relapse. In  this  study,  we  tried  to  find  out  the effect of acute and chr...

background hearing capability plays a principal role on human's communication. noise-induced hearing loss (nihl) caused by exposure to high noise levels is a serious socio-economic problem in modern societies. nihl can either be reversible, resulting in a temporary threshold shifts (tts) or irreversible, resulting in a permanent threshold shifts (pts). pts is often confirmed in the time span of...

heparin- induced thrombocytopenia (hit) is an antibody mediated adverse effect of heparin therapy which is classified into two subtypes, hit i which is non-immune, spontaneously reversible thrombocytopenia and; hit ii which is an autoimmune-mediated adverse effect of heparin therapy. in this case report, we described a 65-year old male patient with hit ii after coronary artery bypass grafting. ...

objective(s): this study focused on determining cytotoxic effects of copper oxide nanoparticles (cuo nps) on chronic myeloid leukemia (cml) k562 cell line in a cell-specific manner and its possible mechanism of cell death. we investigated the cytotoxicity of cuo nps against k562 cell line (cancerous cell) and peripheral blood mononuclear cell (normal cell). materials and methods: the toxicity w...
