Diabetes mellitus is associated with a variety of cardiovascular complications including impaired cardiac muscle function. The effects of insulin treatment on heart rate, body temperature and physical activity in the alloxan (ALX)-induced diabetic rat were investigated using in vivo biotelemetry techniques. The electrocardiogram, physical activity and body temperature were recorded in vivo with...

The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) is developing a 5 12~640-format, dual broadband, Quantum Well Infrared Photodetector (QWIP) focal plane array (ITA) for an imaging interferometer. This is a new type of imaging interferometer which is based on special Fourier-transform spectroscopy, scans interferograms digitally without moving any optical components. It is stable enough to measure fluctuatin...

BACKGROUND The protective response developed against Trichinella spiralis infection provokes immune and inflammatory responses mediated by cytokines released from T helper cells. We aimed to evaluate the effect of albendazole or myrrh on the expression of IFN-γ and IL-10 in BALB/c mice infected with T. spiralis. METHODS This study was done at the Animal House of Faculty of Medicine, Assiut Un...

Background: Because of the problems of achieving to mature oocytes, abillity to deliver the oocytes to mature outside of ovaries was a big discovery that somewhat could reduce the risk of ART`s.Because of the low percentage of in vitro oocyte maturation, research for improving the IVM condition and increasing the oocyte maturation rate is to be continued. The aim of this research is the study o...

If, in some cataclysm, all of scientific knowledge were to be destroyed, and only one sentence passed on to the next generations of creatures, what statement would contain the most information in the fewest words? I believe it is the atomic hypothesis (or the atomic fact, or whatever you wish to call it) that all things are made of atoms—little particles that move around in perpetual motion, at...
