The prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has increased worldwide in parallel with overnutrition characterized by high-fat and high-carbohydrate intake. Our objective was to establish, 16 weeks, a model NAFLD Wistar pathogen-free rats following four dietary types.Forty (6 weeks old) healthy male rats, weighing an average 150 g were randomly divided into groups ten assigned diet the same quantity (15 g/rat/day), but different composition. moderate-fat (MF) group fed (31.5%...
Spirulina (Arthrospira platensis) is reported to play a role in improving nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and intestinal microbiota (IM). To study spirulina’s effects the improvement of NAFLD characteristics, IM, pancreatic–renal lesions induced by fructose-enriched diet, 40 Wistar healthy male rats, weighing 200–250 g, were randomly divided into four groups 10, each rat per group was assigned diet equal quantities (20 g/day) for 18 weeks. The first control (CT) fed standardized...

Background Radiofrequency energy is being used more and frequently in orthopaedics, mainly the treatment of bone tumors. We postulated that radiofrequency ablation may produce growth plate lesions similar to those observed conducted this study see whether be as a technique for producing epiphysiodesis. Methods randomized 60 8-week-old female New Zealand white rabbits into 3 groups. Group A was destined total epiphysiodesis at 60°C, group B 90°C, C lateral hemiepiphysiodesis 90°C. delivered 1...
Summary Non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are known for aggravating in vitro infections and were reported many cases of cervical necrotizing fasciitis (CNF). We developed a rat model CNF, mimicking as closely possible the human‐CNF, to study effect NSAIDs, diclofenac, promoting factor. Twenty rats injected bilaterally neck with peptostreptococcus fresh saliva specimen another 20 rats. Half each group was given an intramuscular injection 4 mg/kg diclofenac at time inoculation 24...
The aim of this study was to describe and validate a homemade laparoscopic trainer. abdominal cavity is simulated within 3-mm-thick stainless steel model. Thirty-four participants were evaluated in pilot our Participants divided into experts (n = 19) novices 15) perform basic complex skills. comparison between the trainer (HT) standard showed no significant differences for 2 tasks performed each group ( P > .05). experts’ performance statistically different from < .05) on both...
The management of the obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal anomaly, or OHVIRA syndrome, requires vaginal access compromising sometimes hymenal integrity. A vaginoplasty is most commonly performed procedure in such scenarios. However, necessity to maintain hymen integrity may limit this technique. In case report, we describe a safe successful laparoscopy-assisted resection for high septum while maintaining an intact hymen.
We report the case of a 12-year-old girl, who consulted us with one-year history an 8 mm nose lesion that was painless and firm upon palpation. The resected conservatively. Immunohistochemistry in favor primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET)/Ewing’s sarcoma lesion, excluding epithelial, lymphoid, other tumors. After second resection, our patient referred to chemotherapy has already undergone 9 cycles out 14. is date no evidence persistent or recurrent disease. To knowledge, this first...
In this article second trimester amniotic fluid biomarkers are measured for correlation with preterm delivery. One additional milliliter of is collected during amniocentesis dosages IL-6, MMP-9, CRP and glucose levels, along maternal serum glucose. MMP-9 Il-6 levels were the corresponding Human QuantikineR ELISA Kit (R&D systems) according to instructions provided by manufacturer. Cut-off values AF IL-6 fixed kit sensitivity thresholds. Data includes ROC curves (Fig. 1), 2) 3), aiming search...
<title>Abstract</title> <bold>Background: </bold>The Fundamental of Laparoscopic Surgery (FLS) program, endorsed by the Society American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons, has been instrumental in enhancing assessing laparoscopic skills among trainees. However, whether a simulator-based training leads to trainees' awareness their limitations remains unexplored. <bold>Participants Methods: </bold>Twenty-one participants (10 novices 11 experienced) were included, categorized based on...
