Ornamental fish sector is considered a large international market and parasitical diseases cause a serious damage on this trade’s profits. This study was conducted to investigate the use of garlic (Allium sativum) and chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) aqueous extracts on suppression of Ichthyophthirius multifiliis parasite in guppy fish (Poecilia reticulata). Two experimental groups consisted o...

The present study investigated (i) the relationship between standardised morphometric AgNOR parameters (argyrophilic nucleolar organiser region-associated proteins) and MIB1 growth fraction, and (ii) their correlation with immunohistochemical p53, sex steroid receptor status and histopathological differentiation grade in serial paraffin sections from 39 breast carcinomas. Ten sections were doub...

statement of problem: recently, it has been proposed that different adhesive materials can be used for direct pulp capping. previous studies have demonstrated that multi steps dentin adhesives could form reparative dentin similar to calcium hydroxide (ch). purpose: the aim of this study was to evaluate the histological pulp response of ninety mechanically exposed cat pulps to two adhesive resin...

Diazinon is a widely used pesticide in agriculture. So, the current work aimed to investigate the effects of diazinon exposure on some physiological and biochemical parameters, as well as, histopathological changes and histochemical acetyl-cholinesterase activity (AChE). The red Baladi rabbits were dipped into water (Control Group), diazinon at low concentrations of 0.6 mg diazinon low concentr...

Spondias tuberosa Arruda, popularly named as umbu, is native from savanna-like vegetation and widely used for medicinal purposes, however, the toxicological profile is not available yet. This study evaluated the phytochemical profile and acute toxicity and citoxicity of Ethanolic Extract of Spondias tuberosa Arruda Bark (EEStb) in hematological, biochemical and histopathological parameters. Fem...

Objective: The present study was carried out to evaluate the adverse effects of cefotaxime at two different doses on some biochemical parameters in albino rats. Histopathological changes in liver and kidney induced by cefotaxime were also investigated. Methods: Thirty rats were randomly divided into 3 equal groups; the first group was received distilled water and kept as a control. The second g...

Our purpose was to correlate different intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM), histopathological and clinical parameters in rectal cancer. 17 patients with histologically proven rectal cancer investigated on a 3.T device were included into the study. DWI was performed using a multi-slice single-shot echo-planar imaging sequence with b values of 0, 50, 200, 500 and 1000 s/mm.2 A polygonal region of...

The functional effect of the A>G transition at position 2756 on the MTR gene (5-methyltetrahydrofolate-homocysteine methyltransferase), involved in folate metabolism, may be a risk factor for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). The frequency of MTR A2756G (rs1805087) polymorphism was compared between HNSCC patients and individuals without history of neoplasias. The association of thi...
