background: precious fruits like jambul are neglected and wasted while environmental pollutants like lead intake remain overlooked. objective: the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the jambul pulp extract on lead detrimental effects in pseudostratified epithelium and the stereocilia of mice epididymis and vas deferens. materials and methods: thirty young males mice (mus muscul...

carpal tunnel syndrome (cts) is a neuropathy due to the compression of the median nerve. it is shown that gabapentin in high doses is effective in treatment of cts patients. in this study we evaluated the efficacy of low doses of gabapentin in treatment of cts patients. ninety patients with cts were randomly assigned to groups a, b and c. gabapentin was administered to group a with dose of 100 ...

The vasa gene (vas) is essential for germline development in Drosophila melanogaster. Zygotic vas is expressed in pole cells earlier than any other pole cell-expressing genes thus far identified, and VAS protein is continuously present in germline cells throughout development. Here, we report the identification of a regulatory region that directs germline-specific vas expression. A genomic frag...

BACKGROUND Idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) originating from the pulmonary sinus cusp (PSC) have not been sufficiently clarified. OBJECTIVES The goal of this study was to investigate the prevalence, electrocardiographic characteristics, mapping, and ablation of idiopathic VAs arising from the PSC. METHODS Data were analyzed from 218 patients undergoing successful endocardial ablatio...

The cavernous malformations (CMs) associated with venous anomalies (VAs) are now being described with increasing frequency. Assessment of the associated VAs is overlooked in surgical management of the CM. The clinical profiles of CMs with VAs were reviewed to investigate the value of T2* gradient echo (GRE)/susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) in surgical risk evaluation. Twenty-six patients w...
