Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Camel's Milk on Cisplatin-Induced Nephrotoxicity in Swiss Albino MiceMohamed E.M. AfifiProblem statement: Nephrotoxicity is a major complication and a dose limiting factor for cisplatin therapy. Cisplatin mediated nephrotoxicity is remarkably documented by reactive oxygen species. Camel's milk has good nutritive value, antigenotoxic and anticytotoxic effects. The aim of the present study was to assess the protective effect of camel's milk against Cisplatin-induced renal oxidative stress in mice. Approach: Forty mal … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,994 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExposure of Broiler Chickens to a Weak Electromagnetic Field Reduces the Impact of a Simulated, Commercial Eimeria InfectionM.A. Elmusharaf, J.J. Cuppen, H.N.A. Grooten et al.Problem statement: In a previous study, the exposure of broiler chickens to a weak Electromagnetic Field (EMF) reduced the severity of a coccidiosis infection. The birds were infected by gavage into the crop which was not representative for the field situation. Approach: The possible anticoccidial activity of EMF was investigated in broiler chickens with a simulated, commercial coccidiosis infection. There … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,282 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMolecular Evidence for the Association of a Strain of Uganda Variant of East African Cassava Mosaic Virus to Symptom Severity in Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) Fields in TogoK. D. Adjata, E. Muller, M. Peterschmitt et al.Problem statement: This study was carried out to demonstrate that the severity of Cassava Mosaic Disease (CMD) in Togo, is not only influenced by synergism between cassava Begomoviruses in presence, but essentially by recombination between the different Begomoviruses infecting cassava. Approach: Foliar samples presenting typical biological features of Begomoviruses infection were collected from cassava and wild infected plants from different … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,423 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMorphological Characteristics and Pathogenicity of Synchytrium psophocarpi (Rac.) Baumann Associated With False Rust on Winged BeanAbdollah Karami, Zainal Abidin Mior Ahmad, Kamaruzaman SijamProblem statement: Winged bean (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus L.) is an important tropical legume in countries like Malaysia due to its potential as a high protein value crop. However, bright-orange pustules observed on the veins of young leaves, stems, pods and sepals depict symptoms of false rust disease on beans. The causal agent of this disease has been found to be Synchytrium … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2009 · 9,581 accessesView PDFCite
