Aberrant effect of genistein on placenta development expressed through alteration in transforming growth factor-β1 and alkaline phosphatase across the maternal serum, the placenta and the amniotic fluid

Objective(s): The mechanism via which genistein, the major isoflavone content of soya, adversely influenced placenta and fetal development was evaluated in pregnant laboratory rats.Materials and Methods: There were control, 2 mg/kg and 4 mg/kg genistein groups of rats with five sub-groups based on gestation termination day. At the end of...

Transmission of carbonated lidocaine across the placenta during caesarean section.

SEVERAL REPORTS HAVE been published from this department regarding the pharmaeokineties of carbonated lidoeaine base during anaesthesia. 1-a In comparison with the hydroehloride salts, for epidural anaesthesia carbonated solutions of local anaesthetics have been shown to have a decreased latent period for onset of analgesia; a decreased latent period for complete spread of anaesthesia; a decrea...

Potential for the Invasive Species Aedes Albopictus and Arboviral Transmission through the Chabahar Port in Iran

Background: Dengue, chikungunya, and Zika viruses are emerging infectious disease threats wherever suitable vectors, hosts, and habitat are present. The aim of the present study was to use the bioagent transport and environmental modeling system (BioTEMS) to identify the potential for arbovirus-infected Aedes species to invade the Chabahar area in southeastern Iran. Methods: ArcGIS geospatial a...
