The antibacterial activity of ethanolic extracts of Ziziphus spina-christi leaves were examined using agar disc diffusion method against five bacteria (Streptococcus feacalis, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa). These extracts had inhibitory activity at various stages of germination;1st stage has inhibitory activity of 22 mm against Strept...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Contrast induced nephropathy (CIN) has multifactorial etiopatogenesis including oxidative stress and vasoconstriction. Nebivolol is an antioxidant and has vasodilatatory effect via NO release and may prevent CIN development. We have noticed that a few number of studies that have evaluated the effectiveness of nebivolol for the prevention of CIN used serum creatinine (sCr) levels...

This paper describes the development of an inexpensive (~ $500), GPS-based, radio-tracked, surface-drifter system designed to operate within a closed shallow water bay. Texas bays and estuaries are generally shallow, weather/event driven, complex non-linear systems. In spite of the amount of activity that occurs within the bays, very little real-time information is collected. The Conrad Blucher...
