INTRODUCTION Although preventative nephrology is the effective management of childhood kidney diseases, it is hard to provide it in this undesirable conditions. In this study, we aimed to document the kidney disease profile of Syrian refugee children admitted to our hospital. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred and thirty Syrian refugee children were admitted to the Pediatric Nephrology Departm...

Renal carcinoma in male Syrian hamsters, induced by chronic administration of estradiol for 5-7 months, is known to arise in the cortex at the cortico-medullary junction. In this in vivo model for hormonal carcinogenesis, estrogen-induced covalent DNA adducts have previously been observed in whole kidney and have been postulated to be involved in tumor induction. In the present study, the intra...

Background Hearing impairments (HI) are the most common birth defect worldwide. Very large numbers of genes have been identified but the most profound is GJB2. The clinical interest regarding this gene is very pronounced due to its high carrier frequency (0.5-5.4%) across different ethnic groups. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of common GJB2 mutations in Syrian patients with profo...

objective(s): gallium-68 dota-dphe1-tyr3-octreotide (68ga-dotatoc) has been applied by several european centers for the treatment of a variety of human malignancies. nevertheless, definitive dosimetric data are yet unavailable. according to the society of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging, researchers are investigating the safety and efficacy of this radiotracer to meet food and drug admin...

1. Balance studies were carried out with rats and golden hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus) given diets high and low in calcium (10.8 and 5.1-5.2 g Ca/kg respectively) and high and low in phytate (3.4 and 1.6 g phytate-phosphorus/kg respectively) in a 2 X 2 factorial experiment. 2. Values for Ca absorption and phytate availability (relative to the amount ingested) and for urinary excretion of Ca a...

Syrian Golden hamsters develop more severe emphysema than Sprague-Dawley rats after intratracheal instillation of the same dose of elastase/body weight. Although species variations in antielastase defenses may largely explain these results, other variables, such as differences in lung antioxidants, cannot be overlooked since oxidative stress modulates antiprotease activity. We propose that elas...
