Methodology: Cardiovascular system examination and Electrocardiography (ECG) were performed for fifty CO intoxicated patients admitted to Poison Control Center, Ain Shams university Hospital for whom some oxidative stress indices have been investigated through the assessment of plasma level of malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and nitric oxide (NO). Both cardiac enzymes; troponi...

signing is an important informative – affective aspect of language which is overshadowed by the traditional speaking – writing distinction and the priority of written form over spoken form in both linguistics and literary criticism. this paper attempts to introduce a new form of language which can be referred to as signing language, which can shed light on understanding and analysis of the obli...

An observational case control study. Setting: Ain Shams Maternity University Hospital. Patients and methods: The study population consisted of 70 women of the rep...

B loyalty and the more modern topics of computing customer lifetime value and structuring loyalty programs remain the focal point for a remarkable number of research articles. At first, this research appears consistent with firm practices. However, close scrutiny reveals disaffirming evidence. Many current so-called loyalty programs appear unrelated to the cultivation of customer brand loyalty ...

BACKGROUND In depolarized myocardial infarct epicardial border zones, the cardiac sodium channel (SCN5A) is largely inactivated, contributing to low action potential upstroke velocity (V(max)), slow conduction, and reentry. We hypothesized that a fast inward current such as the skeletal muscle sodium channel (SkM1) operating more effectively at depolarized membrane potentials might restore fast...

The mediobasal hypothalamus regulates functions necessary for survival, including body energy balance and adaptation to stress. The purpose of this experiment was to determine the contribution of the arcuate nucleus (ARC) in controlling these two functions by the paraventricular nucleus (PVN). Circular, horizontal cuts (1.0 mm radius) were placed immediately above the anterior ARC to sever affe...

Abnormalities of skeletal muscles are frequently observed in patients with congestive heart failure. In these patients, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors improve exercise performance. The present study was designed to assess whether skeletal muscle dysfunction develops in the early stage of cardiac overload and if so, whether such functional alterations can be prevented by ACE inhi...

the holy surah “al- shams” with its effective musical sound is striking in ear and heart and includes various meanings in its few words. shortness of distances and abundance of swears and various contradictions is evident in it which led me to study it in three levels of stylistics: phonetic level, combination level and semantic level.the aim of this study is to explore the beauties of its styl...
