Anxiolytic-like Effects and Increase in Locomotor Activity Induced by Infusions of NMDA into the Ventral Hippocampus in Rat: Interaction with GABAergic System

Introduction: In this study, we investigated the role of N-Methyl-D-Aspartate (NMDA) receptors in the ventral hippocampus (VH) and their possible interactions with GABAA system on anxiety-like behaviors. Methods: We used an elevated-plus maze test (EPM) to assess anxiety-like behaviors and locomotor activity in male Wistar rats. Results: The results showed that intra-VH infusions of diffe...

Assessment of the diagnostic capability of ultrasound in early diagnosis of nephrolithiasis: a feasibility study

Biological Effect of Modern Fetal Ultrasound Techniques on Human Dermal Fibroblast Cells

Background: Diagnostic ultrasound has been used to detect human disease especially fetus abnormalities in recent decades. Although the harmful effects of diagnostic ultrasound on human have not been established so far, several researchers showed it has had bioeffects in cell lines and in experimental animals. Three-dimensional (3D), four-dimensional (4D), and color Doppler sonography are new te...

Assessment of transvaginal ultrasonography accuracy in the diagnosis of uterine pathologies in women with abnormal uterine bleeding

Abstract Background: The most common causes of abnormal uterine bleeding in women of reproductive age are uterine structural abnormalities. There are several modalities for the examination of abnormal uterine bleeding, including transvaginal ultrasound and hysteroscopy. In this study, we aimed to investigate the diagnostic accuracy of hysteroscopy versus transvaginal ultrasound in the diagnosis...
