Abstract Aim Rectus abdominis muscles are supplied mainly by superior and inferior epigastric arteries, forming an arcade between them. The ligation of one them during a surgical intervention usually has no clinical repercussions. However, when both arteries flow interrupted, there is another scenario. Material Methods We describe the case 74 years-old woman who was admitted for elective surger...

The clinical and neurophysiological findings in six Australian children with generalized tick paralysis are described. Paralysis is usually caused by the mature female of the species Ixodes holocyclus. It most frequently occurs in the spring and summer months but can be seen at any time of year. Children aged 1-5 years are most commonly affected. The tick is usually found in the scalp, often be...

The process by which certain classes of toxins compounds or their metabolites may react with DNA to alter the genetic information contained in subsequent generations of cells or organisms are a major component of hazard associated with exposure to chemicals in the environment. Many classes of chemicals may form DNA adducts and there may or may not be a defined mechanism to remove a particular a...

Abstract The entry of heavy metals due to industrial activities into the environment is one major problems in this century. Nickel and chromium(VI) are toxin elements that used various industries. In study, lignocellulose nanofiber was purchased from Nano-Novin Polymer Company (Gorgan, Iran) as an adsorbent for removal nickel ions aqueous solutions a batch system. effects pH, initial concentrat...

Clay materials are widely used in sheet-type platforms with peculiar characteristics and diverse applications. However, due to some disadvantages—such as weak mechanical strength low reactivity—they often subjected modifications. Such tuning leads better output than pure clay materials. This review describes of the hybrids form nanocomposites carbon nanomaterials. Generally, graphene oxide or i...

Cardiorenal syndrome is a condition in which a complex interrelationship between cardiac dysfunction and renal dysfunction exists. Despite advances in treatment of both cardiovascular and kidney disease, cardiorenal syndrome remains a major global health problem. Characteristic of the pathophysiology of cardiorenal syndrome is bidirectional cross-talk; mediators/substances activated by the dise...

Water contaminated with arsenic is a worldwide problem. This review presents the contamination in groundwater, its sources, and possible health risk to humans. Groundwater pollution most common route of inorganic exposure Arsenic concentrations different countries were analyzed projected on map. Because widely spread throughout Earth’s crust, it present trace amounts practically all waterways. ...

Paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs) are non-protein neurotoxins produced by saltwater dinoflagellates and freshwater cyanobacteria. The ability of Lactobacillus rhamnosus strains GG and LC-705 (in viable and non-viable forms) to remove PSTs (saxitoxin (STX), neosaxitoxin (neoSTX), gonyautoxins 2 and 3 (GTX2/3), C-toxins 1 and 2 (C1/2)) from neutral and acidic solution (pH 7.3 and 2) was examined ...
