Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAnti-Arthritic Activity of the Methanolic Leaf Extract of Urtica pilulifera L. on Albino RatsSuha Abudoleh, Ahmad Disi, Eyad Qunaibi, Talal AburjaiProblem statement: Urtica pilulifera (Urticeacae) has been used in folk medicine to alleviate inflammation and arthritis. In this study the anti-arthritic effect of methanolic leaf extract of the plant was evaluated and compared to untreated control as well as ibuprofen-treated groups in a rat model of Complete Freund's Adjuvant (CFA)-induced arthritis. Approach: Arthritis was induced by injecting CFA subcutaneously into … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 14 Jun 2011 · 10,434 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAn Analysis of a Severe Neck Pain Experienced in a Polymyositis PatientR.M. Golding, L.G.F. GilesFollowing a twisting strain with immediate pain in the neck of a polymyositis patient we detail the analysis of a specific range of data gathered before and after the event. The results reinforce that in this case that the creatine kinase isoenzyme and cardiac Troponin T cannot be used as an indicator of myocardial disease. …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 6,813 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAn Analysis of the Creatine Kinase Isoenzyme and Cardiac Troponin T Levels in a Polymyositis PatientR.M. Golding, L.G.F. Giles, E.M. SokoyaFrom an extensive model developed to interpret physiological processes we are able to show that the observed elevated creatine kinase-myoglobin (CK-MB) and serum concentration of cardiac troponin T (cTnT) values for a particular patient are associated with the inflammatory disease, polymyositis, and not myocardial injury. This highlights that caution must be exercised in using elevated CK-MB and cTnT levels as … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,879 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpatial-Dynamics of Trace Metals Accumulation and Physicochemical Characteristics in Ikpukulu-Ama Creeks, Rivers State, NigeriaDavies Ibienebo Chris, Khang Wen Goh, Davies Imachrist Ibienebo et al.The study examines the spatial-dynamics variability of water parameters and trace metal concentrations between January and June 2023 at the Ikpukulu-Ama sites of the Bonny River, Nigeria. Key parameters analyzed include temperature, salinity, pH, transparency, dissolved oxygen, and trace metals (Ni, Pb, Cd, Cu, Zn) across three sites. The highest temperature, 32.56°C, was recorded at Site 2, indicating potential thermal … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 2 · 29 Jul 2026 · 499 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVisible Derivative Spectroscopic Monitoring of the Old Woman Creek National Estuary During a Historically Dry Year and a Wet YearLorita Nivanthi Mihindukulasooriya, Brenna Shae Mabry, Madison Slocum, Joseph Daniel OrtizVisible derivative spectroscopy was used to interpret the sediment and phytoplankton assemblages within the old woman creek natural estuarine reserve during the summers of 2016 and 2017. A Varimax-rotated Principal Component Analysis (VPCA) of reflectance data collected from four sampling sites in 2016 identified three Varimax-rotated Principal Components (VPCs): Diatom + Illite (2016-VPC 1), Dinoflagellate Algae + Cyanobacteria + Cryptophytes … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 6 · 11 Jul 2024 · 4,672 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHeavy Metals Pollution of Owerri and Asuokofi Rivers in Konongo, GhanaWiafe Samuel, Buamah Richard, Essandoh HelenThe effects of polluted water and soil resulting from anthropogenic activities have impacted negatively on the livelihood of both human and animal existence. A thorough study was therefore required to ascertain the extent of pollution caused by the undertakings of these anthropogenic activities particularly within the Asante Akim Central Municipality of Ghana. This study assesses the dispersions and the extent … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 2 · 14 Jun 2021 · 6,882 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractResistance to Brown and Stem Rust in Spring Soft Wheat Varieties in the Arid Climate of Northern KazakhstanAdylkhan Babkenov, Sandukash Babkenova, Svetlana Dashkevich et al.To create competitive wheat varieties, it is essential to make active use of the world's diversity of genetic resources. The study aims to test the genetic resources of spring soft wheat for resistance to rust diseases. A spring soft wheat collection consisting of 206 samples, was studied in 2020-2022 for resistance to leaf and stem rust, as well as for … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 23, Issue 4 · 28 Aug 2023 · 5,030 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdentifying Nutrient Contributors in North Carolina’s Coastal Plain Blackwater RiversNarayan B. Rajbhandari, Sushama Pradhan, Mauro Di Luzio et al.The goal of this study was to assess potential nitrogen and phosphorus contribution from point sources and non-point sources in North East Cape Fear River (NECFR) watershed in North Carolina. A watershed scale hydrologic model, Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT), was used to quantify Total Nitrogen (TN) and Total Phosphorus (TP) loadings to North Carolina’s Coastal Plain Blackwater Rivers. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 5 Nov 2015 · 7,393 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdsorption of Nickel and Zinc by Residual SoilsNur ’Aishah Zarime, W. Y. Wan Zuhairi, Sivarama KrishnaSoil has long been utilized as low cost liner material to prevent contamination from leachate to groundwater media. To find a suitable soil material for this purpose is a great challenge. This study describes the potential use of residual soil to functions as engineered clay liner for waste disposal landfill in Malaysia. Three types of residual soils were investigated namely … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 6 · 5 Dec 2014 · 7,122 accessesView PDFCite
