Background: Polymorphisms of the human platelet alloantigens (HPA) arise from single base pair substitutions in alleles and lead to changes in amino acids of glycoproteins expressed on platelets. The aim of this study was to determine the gene frequencies of the five common HPA (HPA-1 to -5) in Egyptians and Jordanians and to compare these data with those established for other populations.
Materials And Methods: HPA genotyping was done by polymerase chain reaction with sequence-specific primers.
Hyperglycemia-induced oxidative stress makes an important contribution to the etiology of diabetic teratogenicity namely fetal growth and congenital dysmorphogenesis. The aim of this study is to evaluate the protective roles of melatonin and insulin against diabetic's embryolethality and teratogenicity. Diabetes was induced to virgin Sprague Dawley albino rats by a single peritoneal injection of alloxan.

- A cross-sectional study analyzed the growth of 780 children aged 0-12 years in Ismailia, Egypt, comparing those living near high voltage power lines to a control group.
- The study found significant reductions in weight at birth and in head, chest, and height measurements at all ages for children near the power lines.
- X-ray assessments showed delayed bone maturation in these children, leading to the conclusion that proximity to electromagnetic fields from power lines is linked to growth retardation, suggesting the need for better safety measures.
