Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssociation Study between Different Anthropometric Measures and other Clinical Markers in Saudi Female Students at King Abdulaziz UniversityAsmaa H Almalki, Maha ST Saad, Shahad S Alzahrani et al.This research addresses nutritional status, Body Mass Index (BMI), Waist-Hip Ratio (WHR), physical activity and Blood Pressure (BP) among female students attending King Abdul-Aziz University (KAU) and correlates the changes in BMI and WHR with Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP). Saudi female students (N = 232) aged 18 to 27 years old were recruited over two … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 21 Jan 2020 · 7,785 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTen Bioinformatics Tools for Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms DetectionMahin Ghorbani, Hamed KarimiSingle Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) as unique genetic variations are widely used as biomarkers for drug designing and development for individualized therapy. SNP genotyping techniques such as SBE with MS detection, SBE with fluorescence intensity detection, The FP-TDI, Pyrosequencing and The TaqMan 5’ nuclease assay are low-speed, time consuming and very expensive. To overcome such disadvantages, bioinformatics tools are emerged as … …Current Research in Bioinformatics, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 10 Apr 2015 · 17,728 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Prospective Evaluation of Antihypertensive Medications Safety and Efficacy in United Arab Emirates Private HospitalsMuaed Jamal Alomar, Claire Caroline StrauchProblem statement: Hypertension is one of the most important risk factors for heart and cardiovascular diseases in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Evaluation of the safety and efficacy of antihypertensive medications in UAE private hospitals is important. The importance arises because of the high prevalence of hypertension in this multicultural region. This study evaluated the use of antihypertensive medications among … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,312 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHypolipidemic Effects of Coenzyme Q10 in Experimentally Induced Hypercholesterolemic Model in Female RatsAtef M. Al-AttarProblem statement: Hyperlipidemia is well known to play a main role in the development of atherosclerosis. It is characterized by abnormally elevated cholesterol, triglyceride, low density lipoprotein cholesterol and very low density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in the blood. It has been recognized for many years that hypercholesterolemia is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis, myocardial infraction, … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 45,646 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFour Dimensional (4-D) BioChemInfoPhysics Models of Cardiac Cellular and Sub-Cellular Vibrations (Oscillations)Kang Cheng, Chang-Hua ZouProblem statement: Cardiovascular Diseases (CVD) continued to be the leading cause of death. Failure or abnormal cardiac cellular or sub-cellular vibrations (oscillations) could lead failure or abnormal heart beats that could cause CVD. Understanding the mechanisms of the vibrations (oscillations) could help to prevent or to treat the diseases. Scientists have studied the mechanisms for more than 100 years. To … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 15 Jun 2009 · 7,057 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractECG Signal Denoising By Wavelet Transform ThresholdingMikhled Alfaouri, Khaled DaqrouqIn recent years, ECG signal plays an important role in the primary diagnosis, prognosis and survival analysis of heart diseases. In this paper a new approach based on the threshold value of ECG signal determination is proposed using Wavelet Transform coefficients. Electrocardiography has had a profound influence on the practice of medicine. The electrocardiogram signal contains an important amount of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2008 · 16,507 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordAn 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 · 6,810 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordAn 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 · 7,875 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEffect of Intraperitoneally Injection of Different Doses of Lovastatin on Pain and Inflammatory Response Induced by Formalin in MiceKhayatnouri MirhadiProblem statement: The 3-Hydroxy-3-Methyl Glutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors (statins) have been unequivocally shown to reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Their lipid-lowering actions are by reversible and competitive inhibition of the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, a precursor of cholesterol. It has been suggested that statins appear to have therapeutic benefits in diseases that are unrelated to elevated serum cholesterol levels, such as … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 11 Jan 2012 · 7,679 accessesView PDFCite
