A 29- year old female with bone pain and history of precocious puberty was referred for bone scintigraphy. On physical examination café au lait macular spots were noted on her neck, buttocks and left leg. Bone scan showed multiple areas of intense increased activity which was in favour of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia. Considering the presence of polyostotic fibrous...

The biorefinery technology aiming at protein extraction is rising and identification of suitable plant biomass input with valuable compounds for needed. Forage crops have been evaluated by the Cornell Net Carbohydrate Protein System (CNCPS), result used as proxy extractable in a process. This serves helpful link between crop production refinery output; however, method has never validated. Such ...

  Eviscerated sea bass, Dicentrarchus labrax were irradiated by Cobalt-60 at commercial irradiation facility at dose of 2.5 and 5 kGy at 2–4°C. The influences of the irradiation on proximate, fatty acid and amino acid composition in cultured sea bass were investigated. Significant differences (P<0.0.5) were found between non-irradiated and irradiated sea bass in terms of moisture, protein, fat,...

In this research, a novel method to decrease micro-residual stresses of fibrous composites by adding carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is proposed in detail. The negative coefficient of thermal expansion and the high young’s modulus of CNTs can be utilized to counterbalance the process induced residual stresses in composites. To this end, first, the effects of adding CNTs to the matrix of fibrous composi...

Introduction: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has become the most common cause of liver disease worldwide. It has been suggested that dietary composition plays a role in NAFLD pathogenesis; thus, changing dietary patterns may constitute a therapeutic resource even in the absence of weight reduction. The aim of this study was to identify the characteristic of suitable dietary pattern i...

data regarding the effects of dietary protein on modifying serum lipid and lipoprotein levels are controversial. in this study we have investigated the hypothesis whether dietary protein and protein to carbohydrate ratio could be related to subsequent changes in lipid profile in adults.this 3-yaers follow-up_longitudinal study was conducted on a sample of participants (845 men and 1043 women, a...

Glycosphingolipids are ubiquitous molecules composed of a lipid and a carbohydrate moiety. Their main functions are as antigen/toxin receptors, in cell adhesion/recognition processes, or initiation/modulation of signal transduction pathways. Microbes take advantage of the different carbohydrate structures displayed on a specific cell surface for attachment during infection. For some viruses, su...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES To determine the effect of a low carbohydrate diet and standard carbohydrate counting on glycaemic control, glucose excursions and daily insulin use compared with standard carbohydrate counting in participants with type 1 diabetes. METHODS AND STUDY DESIGN Participants (n=10) with type 1 diabetes using a basal; bolus insulin regimen, who attended a secondary care cli...

purpose: to report the clinical and histopathological features of recurrent atypical fibrous histiocytoma of the corneo-scleral limbus followed by intra-epithelial squamous neoplasia. case report: a 25-year-old female patient presented with a recurrent vascularized gelatinous mass in the left nasal limbus. the preliminary histopathological diagnosis of the previously excised lesion was an amela...
