ige- mediated food allergy affects 6-8% of children. our study aimed to define the correlations between the results obtained with skin prick tests (spts) using commercial extracts and fresh foods, and the correlations between these result and those obtained with specific ige (sige) and/ or challenge. children aged from 2 months to 6 years were recruited prospectively. overall 571 children were ...

introduction: the dorsal striatum plays an important role in the control of motor activity and learning processes within the basal ganglia circuitry. furthermore, recent works have suggested functional differentiation between subregions of the dorsal striatum methods: the present study examined the effects of bilateral electrolytic lesions of the dorsomedial striatum on motor behavior and learn...

We investigated the effects of D-AP7 [D-(-)-2-amino-7-phosphonoheptanoic acid], a specific, potent antagonist of NMDA receptor on certain forms of behavior in control groups of rats and in rats submitted to hypoxia. D-AP7 given intracerebroventrically (icv) at a dose of 5 nmol was tested in the open field test, passive avoidance test and in elevated plus maze test. D-AP7 did not significantly c...

Introduction: Megavoltage X-ray beams are used to treat cervix cancer due to their skin-sparing effect. Preferably, the radiation surface doses should be negligible; however, it increases due to electron contamination produced by various field parameters. Therefore, it is essential to provide proper knowledge about the effect of different field parameters on radiation doses. This study sought t...

Background and Aims: The therapeutic effects of the olibanum, the resin of Boswellia serrata (B. serrata) from the Burseraceae family in inflammatory disease have been reported. There are more than 200 active ingredients in this resin, including Boswellic acid. It is proposed that aqueous extract of B. serrata can improve memory impairment induced by cerebral inflammation result in the adminis...

introduction:One of the most important chalenges in studing the anxiety disorders like PTSD is ethical limits in order to make the animal anxious. Sometimes  this anxiety should last for a long time such as rodent models of PTSD, and this needs aggressive proceses on rats.We found a new approach for a rodent model of PTSD, wich seems to be more efficient and ethical. Materials and Methouds...
