Objective: Neuroimmune factors contribute on the pathogenesis of sickness behaviors. Nigella sativa (NS) has anti-inflammatory, anti-anxiety and anti-depressive effects. In the present study, the effect of NS hydro-alcoholic extract on sickness behavior induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was investigated. Materials and Methods: The rats were divided into five groups (n=10 in each): (1) control...

introduction: cerebral vein thrombosis is a rare complication of nephrotic syndrome (ns).we report a known case of ns with hemorrhagic thrombosis. case report: a boy with previous history of ns was admitted with headache and decrease of level of consciousness and his brain images were revealed hemorrhagic thrombosis conclusions: cerebral vein thrombosis must be considered in patients with histo...

Objective(s): Neural stem/progenitor cells (NS/PCs) hold a great potential for delivery of therapeutic agents into the injured regions of the brain. Efficient gene delivery using NS/PCs may correct a genetic defect, produce therapeutic proteins or neurotransmitters, and modulate enzyme activation. Here, we investigated the efficiency of a recombinant lentivirus vector ...

BACKGROUND Fluoroquinolones are considered important substitutes for the treatment of tuberculosis. This study investigates the current status of fluoroquinolone for the treatment of tuberculosis. METHODS In 2009, a retrospective analysis was performed at one tertiary referral center for 953 patients diagnosed with tuberculosis. RESULTS A total of 226 patients (23.6%), who received fluoroqu...

We construct a CFT dual to string theory on AdS$_3$ with pure NS-NS flux. It is given by symmetric orbifold of linear dilaton deformed marginal operator from the twist-2 sector. compute two- and three-point functions side 4th order in conformal perturbation at large $N$. They agree computation genus 0, thus providing ample evidence for duality. also show that full spectra both short long string...

Introduction: To address the question whether combination of methylprednisolone (MP) as an anti-inflammatory drug used in neurodegenerative diseases and neural stem/progenitor cells (NS/PCs) is safe, the present study was designed. Methods: Embryonic rat NS/PCs were exposed to different concentrations of MP and survival by MTT assay, proliferation by analyzing the number and diameter of neuro...

Music therapy (MT) and music-based interventions (MBIs) are increasingly used for the treatment of substance use disorders (SUD). Previous reviews on the efficacy of MT emphasized the dearth of research evidence for this topic, although various positive effects were identified. Therefore, we conducted a systematic search on published articles examining effects of music, MT and MBIs and found 34...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to determine the self-reported prevalence of stress, job satisfaction and burnout among radiation oncologists in Australia and New Zealand. A secondary aim was to determine the association between stress and satisfaction parameters with burnout. METHODS An anonymous online survey was distributed to all radiation oncologists listed on Royal Australian and...
