8-OHdG immunoexpression, DNA damage, cytochrome C and catalase gene expressions and Toll like signaling pathway (TLR2, and pIKKα/β) decreased in animals treated with grape juice when compared to cadmium group.

Taken together, we conclude that grape and apple juices had a protective effect by means of antioxidant, antigenotoxic actions a…[Read more]

By reducing the cerebral blood flow and thereby increasing the resting deoxyhaemoglobin concentration, many human studies have shown that caffeine has a beneficial effect on enhancing the magnitude of blood-oxygenation-level-dependent (BOLD) responses. However, the effect of caffeine on BOLD responses in animals under anaesthesia has not been…[Read more]

67, p = 0.046). rs1050631 was associated with a decreased EC risk in males (OR = 0.71, p = 0.034). In the stratified analysis of clinical stage III/IV, the rs1800566 was associated with a decreased EC risk (OR = 0.49, p = 0.024). Finally, the rs1052133 was associated with an elevated EC risk in the stratified analysis of lymph node metastasis (OR…[Read more]

3-5.5% and inter-scanner coefficient of variation 0.9-8.4% in the different brainstem regions. Midbrain volume performs better than planimetric measurements in separating PSP from PD (Area under the curve (AUC) 0.90 compared with 0.81 for midbrain-pons ratio (p=0.019), 0.77 for MRPI 1.0 (p=0.007) and 0.81 for MRPI 2.0 (p=0.021)). Midbrain volume…[Read more]

South Australian surgeons are more likely to employ a mandatory TDI (100%) for ileal pouches than Queensland surgeons (40%). Rectal tubes are not commonly utilized (40% never use them), and pelvic drains are (46% in all cases). Surgeons consider a median AL rate of 15% was felt to justify the use of a TDI in low pelvic anastomoses and a median AL…[Read more]

On 31 December 2019, the first case of COVID-19, was reported in Wuhan. A public health emergency of international concern was declared on 30 January 2020 and the first case in Scotland, on 2 March. The effect of COVID-19 appears to be less in the paediatric population and there are fewer cases reported in the literature in comparison to the adult…[Read more]
