objectives due to the known anti-oxidant and anti-diabetic effects of origanum majorana (om), this study was conducted to survey its effects on oxidative stress and histopathology of renal tissue among diabetic rats. materials and methods in this experimental investigation, 32 male rats, weighing 200 - 250 g, were divided into four groups: 1: control, 2: control receiving treatment with om, 3: ...

BACKGROUND The First International Symposium on Recent Advances in Otitis Media (OM) with Effusion was held in Columbus, Ohio, in 1975. The symposium has been organized in the United States every 4 years since, followed by a research conference to (a) assess major research accomplishments, (b) identify important research questions and opportunities, (c) develop consensus on definitions and term...

UNLABELLED Odontogenic myxoma (OM) is a rare mesenchymal tumour arising in the jaws. The origin and pathogenesis of OM is poorly understood. The aim of this study was to characterize OM by immunolocalization of certain antigens in the tumour that are relevant for cellular differentiation, migration and maintenance. MATERIALS AND METHODS Five OMs were immunohistochemically investigated for exp...

BACKGROUND The present study aimed to examine the impact of "curricula for undergraduate education in oriental medicine (OM)/complementary and alternative medicine (CAM)" on student awareness of OM. A questionnaire survey was conducted involving the Nagasaki University School of Dentistry (NUSD), a university that implements education in OM as part of its undergraduate curriculum, and Tokyo Den...

The effect of supplementation of different levels of cracked corn (CC) on the sites of OM, total dietary fiber (TDF), and starch digestion in steers fed fresh alfalfa indoors were studied. Six Angus steers (338 ± 19 kg) fitted with cannulas in the rumen, duodenum and ileum, were fed 1) alfalfa (20.4% CP, 41.6% NDF) ad libitum (AALF), 2, 3, and 4) AALF and supplemented (S) with .4, .8, or 1.2% o...

A number of rivers have been found to transport highly aged organic matter [OM]; however, the sources of this aged material remain a matter of debate. One potential source may be erosion and weathering of headwater lithologies rich in ancient sedimentary OM. In this study, waters, suspended particulates, streambed sediments, rocks and soils from fourteen small headwater watersheds of a mid-size...

The effect of supplementation with different levels of cracked corn on the sites of OM, total dietary fiber (TDF), ADF, and starch digestion in steers fed fresh alfalfa indoors was determined. Six Angus steers (338 +/- 19 kg) fitted with cannulas in the rumen, duodenum, and ileum consumed 1) alfalfa (20.4% CP, 41.6% NDF) ad libitum (AALF); 2), 3), and 4) AALF supplemented (S) with .4, .8, or 1....

UV radiation and organic matter (OM) composition are known to influence the species composition of bacterioplankton communities. Potential effects of UV radiation on bacterial communities residing in sediments remain completely unexplored to date. However, it has been demonstrated that UV radiation can reach the bottom of shallow waters and wetlands and alter the OM composition of the sediment,...

Background: Oral Mucositis (OM) remains the most common side effect of chemotherapy affects negatively on patients' quality of life. Subjects and Methods: Convenience samples of patients who received chemotherapy were followed from first or second cycle of chemotherapy until OM occurrence. We reviewed 75 female patients with breast cancer who received chemotherapy with mean age (47.2 SD ± 8.628...
