Kawasaki disease is an acute inflammatory disorder of medium-sized arteries that predominantly affects cardiac coronary arteries and children under the age of 5 years. Cardiac involvement usually happens later than 10 days after the onset of illness. Most of cardiac complications are coronary artery abnormalities (ectasia or aneurysms) and subclinical myocarditis. Clinical myocarditis (symptoma...

The present study was conducted to determine the effects of endophytic bacteria (EB) on some physiological traits and nutrient contents in pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) seedlings grown under drought stress. cv. Mostar F1 two EB isolates [Bacillus thurigiensis (CA41/1) Ochrobactrum sp. (CB36/1)] were employed stress condition. first application at a density 108 CFU mL-1 as 10 mL plant-1 cotyledon ...

Repeated words are often reduced in prosodic prominence, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. The present study contrasted two theories: does prosodic reduction reflect the choice of a particular linguistic form, or does ease of retrieval within the language production system lead to facilitated, less prominent productions? One test of facilitation-based theories is suggested by findin...

The etiology and pathogenesis of the HELLP syndrome, a multisystem disease occurring only in pregnancy, are still unclear. Curiously, very few authors have investigated whether inherited factors may be involved. We report two cases of HELLP syndrome in two unrelated women whose fetuses were relatives (first cousins). The first case concerned a woman aged 32 with a normal course pregnancy who wa...

the acute coronary syndrome due to the left main coronary artery (lmca) thrombosis is a clinically rare and catastrophic event.   we describe a young man ( smoker, alcoholic, and drug abuser) with a history of recent surgery and typical chest pain who had non-occlusive lmca thrombosis in coronary angiography. the thrombosis was successfully treated with two 180 µ/kg intracoronary boluses of ept...

Background: Fluoxetine (FLX) is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors antidepressant. FLX affects chemicals in the brain that may become unbalanced and cause depression, panic, anxiety, or obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Black Grape seed extract (BGSE) antioxidants neutralize free radicals and oxidative stress. Therefore this study was designed to investigate Protective effect of RGSE hydroa...

Introduction: In the present research, the effect of morphine consumption during pregnancy on the development of the embryo’s spinal cord was studied in Wistar rat. Methods: Female Wistar rats (Wt: 250-300 g) were mated with males. The test group received morphine (0.01 mg/ml) in their drinking water. Pregnant rats were later killed with chloroform on the 12th, 13th and 14th days of pregnancy, ...
