1. Purpose Renal ischemia-reperfusion injuries (IRI) are the result of multifactorial mechanisms. During ischemia, the kidney is subject to reduced blood flow, oxygen delivery, and nutrients. This leads to the accumulation of nitrogenous waste products (i.e. creatinine and blood urea nitrogen) that
there is some evidence for the role of phosphodiesterase (PDE) signaling system in pathophysiology of schizophrenia making this system a potential target for therapeutic agents. PDEs are a family of enzymes that hydrolyse cyclic nucleotides and thus play a key role in regulating intracellular levels
- Pre-eclampsia affects approximately 2-8% of all pregnancies worldwide. In Egypt, the prevalence of pre-eclampsia is 10.7% in a community based study. While, in hospital based studies it ranged from 9.1% to 12.5% of all deliveries. The incidence of pre-eclampsia has risen in the developing
Study design The study involved 82 high-risk hypertensive patients (44 men and 38 women), aged 28-74years, conducted between July 2015 and February 2017 in the Department of Hypertension at the University of Medical Sciences in Poznan. Seventeen patients reported resignation during the study. The
Hookah (water pipe) smoking is a new global epidemic. The World Health Organization wants to prohibit all claims that hookah is less harmful than cigarettes and wants hookah products to bear the same warning labels as cigarettes. But there is little scientific evidence to substantiate this proposal.
Carbon monoxide (CO) is an endogenously produced gas that play important physiological roles in the circulation. Traditionally considered a poisonous gas that causes tissue hypoxia, CO produced by vascular cells as a byproduct of heme catabolism, also functions to regulate blood flow by inhibiting
Objective:
Phosphodiesterase type 4 (PDE4) terminates signal transduction of guanine nucleotidebinding proteins (G-protein)-coupled receptors by metabolizing the second messenger 3 <=,5 <=- cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). PDE4 is selective to cAMP over cyclic guanosine monophosphate. PDE4 has
The STOP-HF prospective, randomized trial demonstrated that a biomarker driven strategy of natriuretic peptide (NP) based screening and collaborative care with general practice can help target cardiovascular prevention and improve outcome in an at-risk population of patients without heart
Triflusal, 2-(acetyloxy)-4-(trifluoromethyl) benzoic acid, is an antiplatelet agent with a chemical structure similar to aspirin, but with a different pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile. The drug is administered orally and its bioavailability ranges from 83% to 100%. It binds almost
Experimental Design and Methods This is a prospective, open labeled, randomized diet intervention study done on adult participants with PCOS. After signing informed consents, participants will be asked to eat a recommended ADA diet for two weeks (run in period). Participants will then have baseline
Pulmonary nontuberculous mycobacterial (PNTM) infection has increased over the past several decades, especially in older women. No consistent immunological abnormalities have been found despite extensive investigation. In cystic fibrosis and primary ciliary dyskinesia, mucociliary dysfunction
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) in childhood are chronic relapsing and remitting inflammatory condition that have a significant impact on growth and development.
IBD involves a shift from a regulated intestinal immune response to one that is driven by unrestrained immune cell activation and

Renal failure is a serious and relatively frequent complication of cardiac surgery was observed, especially in diabetics and those with pre-existing renal dysfunction. Given that oxidative stress is elevated in diabetics and in renal and heart, it is reasonable to speculate on its involvement in the
Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is the major cause of hepatic failure worldwide. Although the clinical course of HBV infection varies widely, the prognosis of decompensated liver cirrhosis is quite poor and the 5-year survival rate has been estimated to be only 14-35% without treatment.
