Beta thalassemia major (β-TM) is a common cause of skeletal morbidity and associated with increased bone fracture risk, particularly in inadequately transfused children. The aim this study was to investigate some potential biochemical markers as possible early predictors BMD variations children β-TM.The included 38 β-TM 40 sex-age matched controls. All patients were subjected assessment by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). Serum beta-crosslaps (beta-CTx), osteoprotegerin (OPG),...

There is an increasing attention towards the relationship between oxidative stress and epilepsy. The effect of antiepileptic drugs on oxidant status major interest. Antiepileptic can increase levels free radicals, which consequently might lead to seizures. Carbamazepine (CBZ) drug commonly used in childhood adolescence.Therefore we aimed investigate effects CBZ total antioxidant status, stress, index.The study included 40 epileptic patients 31 healthy children 4 12 years age. Serum level,...

Aim: Radiocontrast-induced nephropathy has become one of the most important causes renal acute failure. The effective management reducing incidence contrast is to understand and prevent its causes. We aimed investigate protective role ebselen against radiocontrast-induced nephrotoxicity in terms tissue oxidant/antioxidant parameters light microscopy rats. Methods: Albino Wistar rats were randomly separated into four groups. Group 1 treated with sodium chloride as control group, 2...

Abstract Although hypocholesterolemia is a reported finding in sickle cell disease (SCD), low‐density lipoprotein (LDL)/high‐density (HDL) subfractions and HDL‐associated enzymes have not been determined SCD patients. Blood was collected from 38 hemoglobin (Hb)A volunteers 45 homozygous HbSS patients who had received blood transfusions the last 3 months. Serum lipids were measured by automated analyzer while LDL HDL subfraction analysis done continuous disc polyacrylamide gel...
