Garlic oil improves small intestinal motility in experimentally induced type II diabetes mellitus in female Wistar rats.

Diabetes mellitus adversely affects the contractile ability of the small intestine. However, there is a paucity of studies investigating the impact of garlic oil on small intestinal motility. This study aimed to evaluate the potential beneficial effects of garlic oil on type 2 diabetes mellitus in rats.

A comparative study of acetyl-l-carnitine and caloric restriction impact on hippocampal autophagy, apoptosis, neurogenesis, and astroglial function in AlCl-induced Alzheimer's in rats.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a worldwide chronic progressive neurodegenerative disease. We aimed to investigate and compare the neuroprotective impact of acetyl-l-carnitine and caloric restriction (CR) on AlCl-induced AD to explore the pathogenesis and therapeutic strategies of AD. Sixty-seven adult male Wistar rats were allocated into Control, AlCl, AlCl-acetyl-l-carnitine, and AlCl-CR groups.

Comparative study on the protective role of vitamin C and L-arginine in experimental renal ischemia reperfusion in adult rats.

Unlabelled: Ischemia reperfusion (I/R) injury is a main cause of transplanted kidney dysfunction and rejection. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a causal role in cellular damage induced by I/R. Antioxidant vitamins and Nitric oxide (NO) were postulated to play renoprotective effects against I/R.

The diagnostic accuracy of multidetector computed tomography with multiplanar reformatted imaging and virtual cystoscopy in the early detection and evaluation of bladder carcinoma: comparison with conventional cystoscopy.

Purpose: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) with multiplanar reformatted imaging and virtual cystoscopy (VC) in early detection and evaluation of bladder masses with comparison with conventional cystoscopic findings.

Materials And Methods: This prospective study included 35 patients with suspected bladder cancer were studied by computed tomographic cystography (CTC) and virtual cystography (VC) in both the supine and prone positions after distending the bladder with air. The patient population was divided into three groups based on lesion size at conventional cystoscopy (CC).
