Osteoporosis is the most common bone disease known, affecting an estimated 200 million people worldwide. Approximately 30% of all postmenopausal women are affected and up to 40% developed a fragility fracture within their lifetime. Over time, a number of risk factors have been associated with osteoporosis and are useful when used in screening tools and treatment algorithms. Diabetes, although identified more than half a century ago as being associated with bone frailty, has come to the forefront only within last decade as an important osteoporosis risk factor...

Relatively little is known about the inflammatory mediators and mechanisms that drive the progression of influenza flu infection to cytokine storm, lung dysfunction, organ failure, and ultimately death. Vaccines and antiviral medications cannot control the excessive host inflammatory response associated with severe influenza flu infection. Studies by Elgebaly et al demonstrated the rapid release of a potent inflammatory mediator, recently named Nourin, by local mammalian tissues in response to injury and infection...

Toxoplasma gondii infection is concerned to have an association with epilepsy and depression either as a cause or a potential risk factor for their occurrence. Nevertheless, there has been long-standing interest in investigating this possible association, the evidence for such relationship is yet not conclusive. The current study correlated between T. gondii infection and Neuropsychiatric disorders: epilepsy and depression, through serological valuation of anti-Toxoplasma immunoglobulin (Ig) G antibodies. In the current study, 112 patients suffered from epilepsy (72 cryptogenic and 40 non-cryptogenic), 118 had depression and 60 healthy volunteers that had no history of any neuropsychiatric disorders in their first degree relatives were enrolled...

The RNA interference (RNAi) has the ability to turn off individual gene expression. So, it affords a remarkably specific tool for studying the effects of genes. It is regarded as a direct approach for determining such gene/genes functions and offers a valuable tool for modern drug discovery. The study aimed to develop in vitro RNAil in Brugia malayi with particular interest to study the function of Brugia malayi avr-14 (Bm-avr-14) and Brugia malayi f-tubulin (Bm-fi-tubulin) genes. Bm-avr-14 is a gene encoding glutamate gated chloride channel (GluCl) which binds ivermectin and Bm-β-tubulin is a gene encoding β-tubulin which binds albendazole...

Vaccination against schistosomes can be targeted towards the prevention of infection and/or to the reduction of parasite fecundity and pathology. However, as eggs are responsible mainly for schistosomiasis pathology, so crude soluble egg antigen (SEA) seems suitable to be used as a potential vaccine. Many studies have provided new insights establishing a role for mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in liver regeneration and improvement of schistosomiasis hepatic fibrosis, in addition to the need for standardized and effective adjuvant-vaccine formulations...

Kato-Katz technique is widely used for the diagnosis of Fecal-orally transmitted helminthic infections. It is relatively simple and inexpensive. However, a single slide prepared from a single stool specimen has low sensitivity, particularly in light infections. Therefore, there is a great need for concentration techniques. This study detected an accurate and affordable method for diagnosis of fecal-orally transmitted helminthes and other geohelminthes. The study was carried out on 217 stool samples of different sex and age groups...

Osteomyelitis occurs either as a result of hematogenous seeding, contiguous spread of infection to bone from adjacent soft tissues and joints, or direct inoculation of infection into the bone as a result of trauma or surgery. Hematogenous'osteomyelitis is usually monomicrobial, while osteomyelitis due to contiguous spread or direct inoculation is, usually polymicrobial. Staphylococcus aureus, coagulase-negative staphylococci and aerobic grani-negative bacilli are the most common organisms; other pathogens including streptococci, enterococci, anaerobes, fungi and mycobacteria have also been implicated...

Post HCV liver cirrhosis is one of the most prominent etiologies behind the abnormal portal circulation hemodynamics. It occurs as a result of distorted balance between portal venous flow (PVF) and intrahepatic resistances (IHR). PVF is partially controlled by using both specific and non-specific beta blockers (NSBBs) that have insignificant effects on IHR. Angiotensin recep- tor blockers (ARBs) inhibit the activated hepatic stellate cell (HSC) contraction and thought to reduce the dynamic portion of IHR. The study aimed to slow down the venous blood flow and to reduce the IHR of portal vein vasculature to control sequelae of the enhanced post cirrhosis portal venous turbulence...
