Introduction
Malignancies during childhood constitute the 2nd cause of death, following injuries worldwide. According to epidemiological data, 300,000 new cases of neoplasia present themselves every year in children and teenagers under 19 years of age1, 160,000 of which concern children under the
Chronic, randomized, crossover, placebo-controlled and double-blind nutritional intervention trial.
The 60 participants in the study will be randomly divided into two groups of 30 participants, as they begin the study taking the SANE or placebo for 6 weeks.
At the end of study week 6, when the first
The inflammatory bowel diseases represent a heterogeneous group of chronic , relapsing-remitting inflammatory disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, and Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are among the two major clinical forms The global incidence and prevalence of The inflammatory bowel

Primary objective:
The aim of the project is to study the pharmacokinetics of therapeutic doses of paracetamol with specific emphasis on the contributions of the metabolites (glucuronide, sulphate, cysteine and mercapturate), in patients with spinal muscular atrophy(SMA),
A prospective, randomized, double blinded, controlled clinical trial will be carried out on 60 patients, who will admit to the critical care unit, Ain Shams hospitals, Cairo, Egypt, following colon surgeries. Before the start of the study, eligible patients were randomized using computer generated
Paracetamol (acetaminophen, APAP) is a ubiquitous painkiller and antipyretic available worldwide in numerous over-the-counter and prescription medications. At supra-therapeutic doses, APAP is a well described hepatotoxic agent and a significant public health concern since 30'000 hospitalizations are
TB and AIDS are also diseases that occur with a chronic inflammatory stimulus, with constant formation of excessive free radicals, leading to cellular and systemic oxidative stress. The effects of NAC in both populations are studied. A study demonstrated that HIV-positive individuals have low levels
Acetaminophen-cysteine protein adducts (APAP-CYS) are formed when acetaminophen is oxidized by CYP 2E-1. When hepatocytes die, these proteins are released into the serum and can be detected. APAP-CYS can therefore be an experimental biomarker of acetaminophen exposure. It is possible that massive
Periodontal disease is a commonGram-negative chronic anaerobic infection of the periodontium, with an estimatedworld prevalence of 10% to 15% (Genco RJ, et al. 1992, Petersen PE & Ogawa H. 2005). It Involves both direct tissue damage resulting from plaque bacterial products, and indirect damage via
Paracetamol is normally metabolised by the glucuronidation and sulfation of paracetamol to non toxic end products. If paracetamol is administered in supra-therapeutic doses this pathway becomes saturated and an alternative pathway is utilised. This results in a toxic metabolite called
study design: BD type I or II patients (n=160), on a depressive or mixed episode, who were on therapeutic doses of any of the commonly utilized mood stabilizing agents (lithium, anticonvulsants, atypical antipsychotics) for at least one month and who were still symptomatic (MADRAS >20) will be
Material abuse nowadays become a serious public health issue, among these, abusing of opioids is the most serious one. It cause HIV infection rate hiking up, recent years in Taiwan, it impairing people health as well. The successive 2 year methadone substitutive abstaining program makes HIV
In this study we will test the hypothesis that acetylcysteine exerts a renoprotective effect in RCIN by an antioxidant and/or renal vasodilator mechanism.
We will take a structured 4-part approach, using randomised controlled cross-over studies to assess the effect of acetylcysteine on renal
Specific Aims:
Critically ill neonates have demonstrated low concentrations of the antioxidant glutathione and a high incidence of disease associated with oxidative injury compared to healthy neonates. Cysteine is considered to be a conditionally essential amino acid for neonates and is the rate
1. Pregnancy, pre-eclampsia and immune regulation The preeclampsia syndrome, which is characterized by changes in the placenta and uteroplacental vasculature, is a major concern in impaired human pregnancy. Hypertension, proteinuria and exaggerated edema are typical clinical symptoms1. Although the
