Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleGenetic Testing for Inherited Thrombophilia in Women with Recurrent Pregnancy Loss: Prevalence and Risk Assessment of Factor V Leiden, Prothrombin, and MTHFR MutationsLina M. Al Momani, Manal A. AbbasGenetic testing for inherited thrombophilia in women with recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) may play an important role in detecting high-risk subjects. DNA was extracted from peripheral blood leukocytes. The high pure polymerase chain reaction template preparation kit and Reverse hybridization technique were used to detect the presence of factor V (G1691A, Leiden) (FVL), Factor II (prothrombin, G20210A), and 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 4 · 29 Nov 2025 · 2,559 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Role of Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor Kappa B (RANK) and Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor Kappa B Ligand (RANKL) in Osteoporosis Risk: Gene Polymorphism and Soluble RANKL Level in Indonesia Post-Menopausal WomenLuluk Yunaini, Dwi Anita Suryandari, Linda Kusdhany et al.Hormonal changes in postmenopausal women may increase osteoclastogenesis that can lead to increased risk of osteoporosis. Receptor Activator of Nuclear factor Kappa B (RANK) and Receptor Activator of Nuclear factor Kappa B Ligand (RANKL) have an important role in osteoclastogenesis that involve in the regulation of bone resorption. In this study, we analyzed the Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNPs) within the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 3 · 27 Sep 2018 · 8,180 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePlatelet Derived Growth Factor-A mRNA Levels in Diabetic and Nondiabetic Subjects at Risk of Coronary Heart DiseaseSalman A.H. AlrokayanCoronary heart disease (CHD) is the number one cause of death in developed countries. We investigated the quantity of platelet derived growth factor-A mRNA (PDGF-A mRNA) among four different groups of diabetic and nondiabetic Saudi subjects (n = 40) at risk of CHD. Total RNA was derived from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMN) and PDGF-A mRNA reverse transcribed into cDNA … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,676 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAnalysis of the Factors used by Farmers to Manage Risk. A Case Study on Italian FarmsAntonella Pontrandolfi, Fabian Capitanio, Felice Adinolfi, Barry GoodwinThe study analyses the strategies Italian farmers use to cope with the risks that face their production. We develop cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses as well as analyses of correlation that underline the main differences between the way farms adapt their structure and management towards risk. The expected output is an analysis of farms’ approach to risk management in relation to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 26 Apr 2016 · 7,633 accessesView PDFCite
Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the keywordsIntracranial Atherosclerotic Disease: Treatment Potential and Diagnostic OpportunitiesAnastasia Vladimirovna Poznyak, Victoria Alexandrovna Khotina, Anton Yuvenalievich Postnov et al.Atherosclerosis, characterized by the accumulation of atherosclerotic plaques within large arteries, substantially increases the risk of cardiovascular events, including ischemic stroke. Intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) represents a particularly significant clinical threat given its strong association with ischemic stroke across multiple intracranial arterial territories. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and management of intracranial atherosclerosis. Special attention … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 1 · 5 May 2026 · 1,093 accessesView PDFCite
