Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Mathematical Modeling Approach to Characterize Hormesis, Caloric Restriction and Toxicity in Mortality Data from Toxicity StudiesPatricia J. NeafseyThe mortality of a population reflects the combined effects of natural aging with environmental insults (e.g. toxicant exposure, caloric restriction, over feeding, infections, etc.). No single endpoint, such as carcinogenesis, completely describes toxicant-induced effects in laboratory animals. Mathematical models of mortality and time-dependent exposure to toxicants can yield indices of net injury from all causes. With careful manipulation of diet … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,160 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhysiological Response and Postmolt Performance of Laying Hens Molted by Non-Feed Removal MethodsFariborz Khajali, Saied Karimi, M.R. AkhariOne experiment was conducted to evaluate the physiological response and postmolt performance of laying hens subjected to non-feed removal molting programs. One hundred and eighty 78-week-old Hy-line W36 laying hens were distributed among 45 groups of four birds and located in cages so that mean body weight of each cage was very similar. Three adjacent cages were considered as a … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 6,845 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Omega-3 Fatty Acids on Nerve Conduction Velocity (NCV) and F-wave Latency in Patients with Diabetic polyneuropathyNaser Zangiabadi, Mohamad N. Ahrari, Nouzar NakhaeeDiabetes mellitus with the prevalence rate of 8.9-12.3% in human population, ultimately leads to the peripheral nervous system involvement in many patients. It causes various types of polyneuropathies, which may manifest abnormalities such as impaired nerve conduction velocity (NCV) and prolonged F-wave latency. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of omega-3 fatty acids on NCV and … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 9,272 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLeprosy Patients Attending the Out Patient’s Clinic at Agra: A Retrospective Analysis of the Characteristics and Frequency of Regularity VS Irregularity for Determining Absenteeism, Non-adherence and Non-complianceVirendra S. Yadav, Kiran Katoch, Tahziba HussainThis study reports a retrospective analysis of the records of 2709 leprosy patients, attending the Out patient’s Clinic at Agra, over a 1-year period, 2005. The patients with leprosy have been categorized into three groups, viz., regular, irregular and the drop-outs. The number of drop-out patients was significantly higher [Z=2.16, p=0.05] among males, 32.14% (667) when compared with females, 26.50% … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 6,876 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Value of Serologic Tests for Diagnosis and Follow up of Patients having BrucellosisNidia E. Lucero, Sandra M. Ayala, Gabriela I. Escobar, N R. JacobThough diagnosis of human brucellosis is accurate when the causal agent is isolated, this procedure is not always successful and the most of patients are diagnosed on the basis of rising titres of antibodies in serum. The classical tests used for detection of antibodies to S-Brucella sp., include Rose Bengal (RBT), buffered plate antigen (BPAT), serum agglutination (SAT), 2-mercapto-ethanol (2MET) … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,446 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Two Different Dose Levels of Irradiation on Thioredoxin Reductase in the Kidney of Guinea PigsNedret Kılıc, Yildiz Guney, Ayse Hıcsonmez et al.It is aimed to examine the state of the oxidant-antioxidant system in the liver of guinea pig caused by ionizing radiation at two different dose levels in the early period. The research was carried out on guinea pigs irradiated with the doses of 8 Gy (group 2) or 15 Gy (group 3) (single dose/whole body) in comparison with control group … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,786 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTopical Cyclosporine A in Corneal Graft RejectionMahmood Nejabat, Jafar Khoshghadam, Masoomeh Eghtedari, Hamid HosseiniCorneal graft rejection is now the most common cause of graft failure after penetrating keratoplasty. This study was designed to determine whether, addition of 2% topical cyclosporine (CSA) to local and systemic steroids in treatment of endothelial corneal allograft rejection, would improve the outcome. A prospective randomized treatment trial was carried out on 40 consecutive corneal graft recipients, presenting with … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,317 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEpidemiology and Seasonal Pattern of Malaria in an Irrigated Area of Eastern SudanYousif El-Safi Himeidan, Efatih. M. Malik, Ishag AdamEpidemiological patterns of malaria are widely different; such information can help programs to design interventions relevant to situation. This cohort study investigated the epidemiology of malaria in Dipaira camp, an irrigated area, in eastern Sudan during the period July 2004 to Jun 2005. At baseline, the relevant socio-demographic factors and the monthly malaria parasitological surverys were carried-out. Thirty- six (4.1%) … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,967 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Reversible Method of Epiphysiodesis-An Experimental Study in RabbitsMahmood Karimi-Mobarakeh, Reza Malekpour-Afshar, Nozar Nakhaee et al.Lower limb discrepancy and angular deformities are among the most common orthopedic problems in pediatrics. All methods for correction of these deformities are irreversible and the epiphyseal growth plate is arrested. Current study describes a new reversible method of epiphysiodesis. At the first step, we decided to examine angular deformity of the knee. Seven New Zealand white female rabbits with … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,204 accessesView PDFCite
