Several studies have identified an increased risk of cancer in type 2 diabetic patients and this is in accordance with the hypothesis that increased insulin levels might promote cancer. Thus, there is a great interest in exploring the possibility that antidiabetic therapies lowering insulin levels could decrease cancer incidence or cancer-related mortality. Recent observational studies have sho...

This study evaluated the irrigation extrusion and smear layer (SL) removal of continuous ultrasonic irrigation (CUI). Forty root canals were shaped, embedded in warm sterile saline agar colored with 1% acid red, and distributed into four groups; three groups had the final irrigation sequence of sodium hypochlorite and EDTA solutions performed by using syringe irrigation (SI), EndoVac (EV), and ...

High fat diet (HFD) is one of the risk factors to obesity and diabetes. Recommended regimen for diabetes difficult abide especially HFD as it adds flavour taste buds. In this study, palm oil-enriched control (ND) were fed nicotinamide-induced type 2 rats, respectively six weeks. Additionally, metformin, a common drug used treat was given rats under treatment groups. We evaluated change urinary ...

Eggshell membrane (ESM) is a unique biomaterial, which is generally considered waste. However, it has extraordinary properties which can be utilized in various fields and therefore it is being widely studied these days. Within this paper, the examples of multidisciplinary applications of the ESM are given. The author has published a review paper on this topic recently (Baláž, 2014a). Particular...

Biodiesel is a promising green alternative fuel for compression ignition engines (C.I.E.s) made from vegetable oil or animal fat transesterification. Compared to traditional diesel fuel, biodiesel becomes vital fuel. Due high input feed and product purification costs, existing production systems offer less competitive prices than petroleum-derived diesel. Non-edible oils, such as waste cooking ...

Abstract Obesity is a systemic metabolic disorder that affects over 40% of the U.S. adult population. Among many other serious health consequences, obesity leads to increased morbidity and mortality from select infections impaired immunological memory responses these infections. CD8 T cells mediate clearance pathogens establish memory. Many studies have established cell metabolism function are ...

Reproduction is a critical period for birds as they have to cope with many stressful events. One consequence of an acute exposure to stress is the release of corticosterone, the avian stress hormone. Prolonged stress can have negative impacts on the immune system, resulting in, for example, increased oxidative stress. Through maternal effects, females are known to modulate their investment in e...

objective(s):  the aim of this study was to evaluate the final outcome of nerve regeneration across the eggsell membrane (esm) tube conduit in comparison with autograft. materials and methods: thirty adult male rats (250-300 g) were randomized into (1) esm conduit, (2) autograft, and (3) sham surgery groups. the eggs submerged in 5% acetic acid. the decalcifying membranes were cut into four pie...
