The aim of the study was to assess the accuracy of some specific biochemical indicators in discriminating between Helicobacter pylori-associated gastritis and H. pylori-associated stomach cancer (serum gastrin level, serum soluble E-cadherin and tissue COX-2 activity, as well as serodiagnostic markers for H. pylori infection) in order to find a simple diagnostic test that can reasonably predict...

The study included 4 herds of dairy cows (C, D, E, F) from CentralEastern Poland. The objective of the study was to evaluate and compare selected haematological and biochemical indicators in the blood of dry and lactating cows from the studied region. Blood was sampled twice from the external jugular vein at two dates: 10-14 days prior to calving and after the first month of lactation. Determin...

BACKGROUND Zinc is an important cause of morbidity, particularly among young children. The dietary, functional, and biochemical indicators should be used to assess zinc status and to indicate the need for zinc interventions. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine the zinc status and reference intervals for serum zinc concentration considering dietary, functional, and biochemical...

Abstract Rapid progression in resistance to antimicrobial agents by pathogenic organisms is a serious concern. This study aimed synthesize fatty amido benzoic acid (FBA) from Citrullus colocynthis seed oil (CCO) and evaluate its safety profile as an alternative bioactive agent for combating drug-resistant pathogens. FBA was synthesised through simple chemical reaction route examined antioxidant...

Glyphosate (N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine) was developed in the early 1970s and at present is used as a herbicide to kill broadleaf weeds grass. The widely occurring degradation product aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA) result of glyphosate amino-polyphosphonate degradation. massive use parent compound leads ubiquity AMPA environment, particularly water. Considering this, it can be assumed that it...

PURPOSE We retrospectively reviewed the clinical followup for a large series of men with clinically localized prostate cancer who underwent radical retropubic prostatectomy to identify clinical and/or pathological indicators of biochemical (prostate specific antigen [PSA]) recurrence. We then used those indicators to develop multivariate models for determination of recurrence probability follow...

Deltamethrin and piperonyl butoxide two synthetic pyrethroids, when used in a combination it produces synergistic effect. This insecticide has found to be widely the management of mosquito, housefly other insects control various vector born diseases. In this review we assessed toxic effect deltamethrin on beneficial organisms commonly available ecosystem. It was fish, honey bees prime pollinato...

Heavy metal toxicity has proven to be a major threat and there are several health risks associated with it. The toxic effects of these metals, even though they do not have any biological role, remain present in some or the other form harmful for human body its proper functioning. metals generally referred as those which possess specific density more than 5 g/cm3 adversely affect environment liv...
