Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a common reason of brain tissue loss as a result of tumors, accidents, and surgeries. Renewal of the brain parenchyma is restricted by many reasons such as inimical substances produced as the result of trauma and also inflammatory responses. A strong cascade of inflammatory responses begins as a result of TBI which include recalling peripheral leukocytes into the...

background: silymarin is a flavonolignan that has been the subject of research to evaluate the beneficial properties for decades. silymarin has been known for its potent cytoprotective, hepatoprotective and antioxidant activities. the goal of the present study was to gain a deeper understanding of possible molecular mechanisms of apoptosis of the injuries induced by silymarin on balb/c mice fet...

Calcium from bone and shell is isotopically lighter than calcium of soft tissue from the same organism and isotopically lighter than source (dietary) calcium. When measured as the (44)Ca/(40)Ca isotopic ratio, the total range of variation observed is 5.5 per thousand, and as much as 4 per thousand variation is found in a single organism. The observed intraorganismal calcium isotopic variations ...

the effects of hydroalcoholic extract of peganum harmala seeds (eps) on spontaneous rhythmic contractions of isolated rat uterine was investigated in this study. eps was tested on the isolated uterus and endometrium free (i.e. stripped myometrium) preparations. eps was found to exhibit significant spontaneous contractions of the uterus and stripped myometrium relative to the solvent control. af...

1. The change in total body calcium content after surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism was studied in seven patients by whole body neutron activation analysis. Three patients who remained in the uncontrolled state for up to 12 months were also studied by this technique. 2. The technique and its reproducibility are described. Changes in total body calcium greater than f 4 % should be detectab...

Miconazole is an imidazole antifungal agent, commonly applied topically to the skin or mucous membranes. The aim of this study was to examine the alternative method for gaining mechanism or the bimolecular changes caused by the possible teratogenic effects of Miconazole on mice fetus brain tissue using FTIR-Microspectroscopy. The mice were injected with Miconazole (60 mg/Kg) on gestation day 9....

Introduction: Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a non-invasive technique utilized in various medical applications, including brain imaging and other neurological diseases. Recognizing the physiological and anatomical characteristics of organs based on their electrical properties is one of the main applications of EIT, as each variety of tissue structure has its own electrical characteris...
