Introduction In my perspective article entitled An Opportunity for Radiology, published in the February 2006 issue of Radiology (Ref), I suggest that radiologists have three principal attributes (clinical acumen, mastery of technology, and dedication to safety and quality) that characterize the practice of their discipline, and that serve as a barrier to intrusion into the practice by other med...

Objectives:Hypertension is one of the most common diseases of the modern era. This study evaluates the effect of hydro-alcoholic celery leaf extract onsystolic blood pressure (SBP), heart rate (HR) and lipid profile in animals’ model of hypertension induced by fructose. Materials and Methods: Sprague Dawley rats were divided into five groups: 1) control group (free access to tap drinking water)...

A small number of primate species including snub-nosed monkeys (colobines), geladas (papionins) and humans live in multilevel societies (MLSs), in which multiple one-male polygamous units (OMUs) coexist to form a band, and non-breeding males associate in bachelor groups. Phylogenetic reconstructions indicate that the papionin MLS appears to have evolved through internal fissioning of large mixe...

(Campbell, 1965), earthworms (Bishop and Campbell, 1963, 1965) and snails (Campbell and Bishop, 1970; Campbell and Speeg, 1968; Tramell and Campbell, 1972) via the ornithine–urea cycle (OUC) indicates that the usurpation of the basic nutritional pathway of arginine synthesis for ammonia detoxification first took place in invertebrate animals (Campbell, 1973). Osmotic water retention may have be...

Viruses must create a suitable cell environment and elude defense mechanisms, which likely involves interactions with host proteins and subsequent interference with or usurpation of cellular machinery. Here, we describe a novel strategy used by plant DNA viruses (Geminiviruses) to redirect ubiquitination by interfering with the activity of the CSN (COP9 signalosome) complex. We show that gemini...

objective: this study aimed to examine the effects of haloperidol and amphetamine on human startle response modulated by emotionally-toned film clips. method: sixty participants, in two groups (one receiving haloperidol and the other receiving amphetamine) were tested using electromyography (emg) to measure eye-blink muscle (orbicular oculi) while different emotions were induced by six 2-minute...

Abstract The Eurasian Collared-Dove ( Streptopelia decaocto ) is one of the most successful invasive bird species across world. Worryingly, dove a known reservoir many diseases, some which can potentially infect mammals (including human beings). Additionally, aggressive behaviors have been recorded toward other resulting in territory and nest usurpation. Thus, presence this poses an important r...
