Objective(s): Neuroprotective effects of female gonadal steroids are mediated through several pathways involving multiple peptides and receptors after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Two of these peptides are including the regulatory peptides neuromedin U (NMU) and neuromedin S (NMS), and their common receptor neuromedin U2 receptor (NMUR2). This study investigates the effects of physiological do...

I am an academic scientist who has worked for nine years on issues related to endocrine disruptors, including assessments of human exposures, meta-analyses of published literature, and benchwork assessing the effects of chemicals on development, behavior, reproduction, and other endpoints in rodents and aquatic animals. My PhD is in Cell, Molecular and Developmental Biology, although my work is...

the aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of adding low-dose hcg (human chorionic gonadotropin), as an lh active supplement, to a gnrh antagonist protocol in patients undergoing assisted reproduction techniques. in this parallel-group randomized clinical trial, 137 infertile female outpatients aged 20 - 39 years were randomized into two groups: hcg group and non-hcg group. all patients...

‎ introduction: controversial results have been reported about the effect of morphine and stress on learning and spatial memory in rodents. there are very few studies about the effects of ultra low doses of morphine on memory. in this study, effects of acute administration of low and usual doses of morphine on memory formation and retention in the presence and absence of repeated stress were in...

context: to evaluate treatment success and hypothyroidism following main methods of radioiodine therapy of toxic nodular goiter (tng); calculated versus fixed dose and high versus low dose of radioiodine. evidence acquisitions: we searched medline and scopus databases from inception till july 2013, for clinical trials that compared two different methods of radioiodine administration in tng. the...

conclusions intravenous etomidate 0.03 mg/kg prior to induction can effectively reduce the incidence and severity of myoclonus linked to etomidate. results the incidence and intensity of myoclonus were significantly lower in the low-dose etomidate group. the incidence rates of myoclonus were 51 (71.85%), 61 (85.9%), 30 (42.3%) and 41 (57.7%), and the percentages of patients who experienced grad...
