Background: Boron and gadolinium are among the nuclides that hold a unique property of being a neutron capture therapy agent. Neutron beams have often a considerable portion of gamma rays with fast neutrons. Gamma rays, as beam contaminants, can cause considerable damage to normal tissues even if such tissues do contain high boron concentrations. Materials and Methods: The modification of radio...

Introduction: Following dental avulsion, the immediate recommended treatment is tooth replantation to avoid adverse effects. Therefore, the tooth must be stored in a physiological storage medium to preserve the viability of the periodontal ligament fibroblast (PDLF) cells during transportation to dental office. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of several storage media in preser...

Rosuvastatin is a lipid lowering agent, which has low solubility and low bioavailability of 20% with oral administration. Therefore the present study was undertaken to improve solubility and bioavailability of Rosuvastatin by formulating it into Nano structured lipid carriers (NLCs) by using stearic acid and Compritol ATO 888 as solid-lipid, Oleic acid as liquid-lipid and Poloxamer 188 as a sur...

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are a diverse group of microorganisms that can be found in natural habitats and used wide range industries, especially the food sector. They regarded "Generally Recognized as Safe" commonly starter culture, probiotics, biopreservative. However, some LAB genera excluded from "Qualified Presumption Safety" (QPS) list due to possibility they have virulence antibiotic res...

Objective The assessment of an easy to prepare and low cost control material for Hematology, available for manual and automated methods. Material and Method Aliquots of stabilized whole blood were prepared by partial fixation with aldehydes; the stability at different temperatures (4. 20 and 37 °C) during periods of up to 8-9 weeks and aliquot variability with both methods were controlled. Resu...

Problem statement: Imported Holstein Friesian dairy cattle are exposed to hot arid climate in feedlot management in Kuwait. Desert climate is extreme reaching high 45-50°C in summer and low -4oC in winter at day and night respectively. High calf mortality, poor reproduction and milk yields were main constraints to viable dairying. The objectives of this study were to assess the magnitude of cal...

ZAROR-BEHRENS, CLORIA,ANDJEANHIMMS-HAGEN. Coldstimulated sympathetic activity in brown adipose tissue of obese (ob/ob) mice. Am. J. Physiol. 244 (Endocrinol. Metab. 7): E36LE366, 1983.-The objective was to find out whether‘the known failure of brown adipose tissue thermogenesis in the cold-exposed genetically obese (ob/ob) mouse might be due to a defect in the usual cold-induced increase in sym...
