AIM Interruption to blood flow causes ischemia and infarction of brain tissues with consequent neuronal damage and brain dysfunction. Pomegranate extract is well tolerated, and safely consumed all over the world. Interestingly, pomegranate extract has shown remarkable antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects in experimental models. Many investigators consider natural extracts as novel therapie...

pomegranate is an ancient edible fruit with various pharmaceutical bioactivities such as antioxidant, lipid regulation and anti-inflammation. in this study the effectiveness of pomegranate pith and carpellary membrane (ppcm) extract in treatment of experimental lead intoxication was assessed in rats. female wistar rats were exposed to 1000ppm lead acetate in drinking water for 35 days and treat...

extract  although there are new ways to portray the brain, colored and computerized encephalography but coma is still unknown and such as death remain beyond comprehension and knowing. is not it ?   perhaps because of this, despite knowing that some part of the brain is not yet fully understood all its parts. but knowing the components that working to each other is key for discovering a lot of ...

Abstract_ Introduction: Viola plant has been used traditionally for the treatment of neurological disorders. We aimed at determining whether pretreatment with Viola spathulata extract can alleviate the severity of ischemic-reperfusion damages and it can exert its protective effects through the regulation of a sodium/calcium exchanger (NCX3) gene expression in a rat brain. Methods: Male Wistar r...

Problem statement: Stroke or cerebral ischemia has been recognized as one important problem worldwide. To date, the effectiveness of protective and therapeutic strategies against stroke is still very limited. Therefore, the development of novel strategy is required. Porcine brain is traditional believed to improve brain functions. Recent studies showed that the extract of porcine brain could pr...

Skull stripping is a process of segmenting brain portion in MR brain images. It is an important image processing step in many neuroimage studies. In this paper, we propose a new skull stripping method for magnetic resonance image (MRI) of human head scans based on 2D region growing. This is a fully automatic method for segmenting the brain portion from T1, T2 and PD weighted MR images. The prop...
