the myocardial effect of snake venoms is considered as one of the most common pathogenesis in many cases of snake envenomation. this study was under taken to investigate the effects of snake (naja naja oxiana) venom on cardiac function in experimental animals. the blood samples from all the rabbits were collected before venom injection and then 140 µg/kg venom of snake (naja naja oxiana) was in...

Summary Aortic valve stenosis (AS) is predominantly caused by degenerative calcification in patients over 70 years. It obstructs the left ventricular outflow tract. The result concentric hypertrophy (LVH) wall stress and ischemia-induced myocardial fibrosis. [1] According to European Association of Cardiothoracic Surgery, all high-grade AS are indicated for intervention [2]. One most recommenda...

The release of lactic dehydrogenase, creatine phosphokinase, and aspartate aminotransferase from initially viable, metabolically competent adult rat heart myocytes has been examined. Freshly isolated cells contain levels of total lactic dehydrogenase, creatine phosphokinase, and aspartate aminotransferase, as well as lactic dehydrogenase and creatine phosphokinase isoenzyme profiles that are qu...

Studies of the three human creatine phosphokinase (EC 2.7.3.2) isoenzymes, MM, MB, and BB, show that important differences exist in substrate dependency of the reaction rates. A method was developed to study these properties in which the ATP formed in the reverse reaction was measured by means of firefly luciferase. With substrate conditions at which the isoenzymes showed substantial difference...

Background: Acute compartment syndrome is considered a debilitating complication of limb trauma. Early detection of this compartment syndrome helps us in the early initiation of treatment which will result in preventing its subsequent complications reported in these cases. Methods: This research was an analytical cross-sectional study. Patients with direct trauma to extremities, who were refer...

hemiscorpius lepturus is the most dangerous scorpion species, endemic in khuzestan province and other southwestern areas of iran, causing morbidity and mortality in children and adults. the efficacy of the antivenom for reversal of manifestation caused by venom of this scorpion is a controversial issue. in the present work, h. lepturus venom (1500 µg/kg) was subcutaneously injected into two ...
