Association of vitamin D deficiency with severe pneumonia in hospitalized children under 5 yearsComparative Clinical Pathology - Tập 23 - Trang 1247-1251 - 2013
Noussa El Basha, Mona Mohsen, Marwa Kamal, Dina Mehaney
Pneumonia is the leading cause of childhood mortality accounting for 19 % of the 10.6 million deaths that occur each year. Vitamin D influences antimicrobial activity by acting on lymphocytes, neutrophils, macrophages, and respiratory epithelial cells. In addition, the immunomodulatory properties of vitamin D may influence the severity of infection. The objective of this study was to investigate w...... hiện toàn bộ
Polymorphisms of DNA repair genes and sun exposure as predisposing factors for age related cataractComparative Clinical Pathology - Tập 21 - Trang 1323-1331 - 2011
Asmaa Ismail Ahmed, Mohammed Yasser Sayed Saif, Abeer Ahmed Zayed
Age-related cataract is a leading cause of blindness throughout the world. Regular exposure to sunlight increases the risk of cataract development. Ultraviolet light causes oxidative stress which induces DNA damage in the lens epithelium and the development of opacities. The existence of DNA repair in lens epithelial cells has been reported, and polymorphisms of DNA repair genes may affect repair ...... hiện toàn bộ
Comparison of the healing status in suture-less end-to-end intestinal anastomosis using TachoSil with classic two-layer anastomosis in ratsComparative Clinical Pathology - Tập 29 - Trang 463-467 - 2019

The classical two-layer anastomosis has been experimentally compared with anastomosis using synthetic TachoSil in terms of pre- and post-surgical symptoms and healing status of the anastomotic area in rats. Thirty-six adult male rats were randomly allocated into two groups: in group C (control), classic anastomosis was performed in the ileum of the small intestine, 10 cm away from the ileocecal va...... hiện toàn bộ
Biochemical and ultrasonographic evaluation of exertional rhabdomyolysis and myositis in draft horsesComparative Clinical Pathology - Tập 27 - Trang 829-839 - 2018

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the biochemical alterations in horses with exertional rhabdomyolysis (ER) and those with myositis and to characterize the progressive changes of both diseases by using ultrasonography (US). For this reason, 40 horses with various symptoms of musculoskeletal disorders were studied. Based on the competent case history, clinical symptoms, and in combination w...... hiện toàn bộ

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of garlic on total cholesterol, total triglyceride and adipose tissues in chickens, since garlic is typically used as a dietary supplement in broilers' diets. One hundred male broiler chicks were divided randomly into two groups. From the day after they were born, group one received standard feed plus 20 kg/ton dried fresh garlic and group two r...... hiện toàn bộ
Fumonisin B1 and ochratoxin A nephrotoxicity in Japanese quail: an ultrastructural assessmentComparative Clinical Pathology - Tập 22 - Trang 835-843 - 2012

In the present study, fumonisin B1 (200 ppm) and ochratoxin A (2 ppm) were fed alone and in combination to day old Japanese quail chicks for 21 days to evaluate renal ultrastructural changes. The severity and intensity of renal ultrastructural changes varied with the type of treatment, and predominant and consistent lesions were found in the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) lining cells. Distortio...... hiện toàn bộ
