Splanchnic ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) causes tissue hypoxia that triggers local and systemic microcirculatory inflammatory responses. We evaluated the effects of hyperoxia in I/R induced by occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) for 40 min. followed by reperfusion (120 min) in rats. Four groups were studied: a) control undergoing anesthesia only. b) Sham – undergoing all surgical...

Treadmill training and clonidine, an alpha-2 noradrenergic agonist, have been shown to improve locomotion after spinal cord injury. We speculate that transmission in load pathways, which are involved in body support during stance, is specifically modified by training. This was evaluated by comparing two groups of spinal cats; one group (n = 11) was trained to walk until full-weight-bearing (3-4...

Objective: The goal of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of Chlamydial endometritis in women with menorrhagia attending Ain Shams University Maternity Hospital. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Ain Shams Maternity teaching hospital. Patients and methods: 300 women were divided randomly into two equal arms of 150 women in each one.

BACKGROUND An emerging concept is that a neuronal isoform of nitric oxide synthase (NOS1) may regulate myocardial contractility. However, a role for NOS1-derived nitric oxide (NO) in heart failure (HF) has not been defined. METHODS AND RESULTS Using a model of myocardial infarction-induced HF, we demonstrated that cardiac NOS1 expression and activity increased in HF rats (P<0.05 and P<0.001 v...
