study of bovine hydroxyapatite-gelatin-hydroxypropyl methylcellulose with alendronate as injectable bone substitute composite in osteoporotic animal model.

The injectable bone substitute (IBS) is a self-setting local drug delivery system that adjusts the shape of the bone gap in the fracture. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of IBS composites of bovine hydroxyapatite (BHA) and alendronate (Ale) in accelerating bone growth in osteoporotic rats. IBS was made by mixing BHA with gelatin 5%, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) 2%, and Ale 10%.

Electrodermal Activity for Measuring Cognitive and Emotional Stress Level.

Stress can lead to harmful conditions in the body, such as anxiety disorders and depression. One of the promising noninvasive methods, which has been widely used in detecting stress and emotion, is electrodermal activity (EDA). EDA has a tonic and phasic component called skin conductance level and skin conductance response (SCR).

The combined effect of magnetic and electric fields using on/off infrared light on the blood sugar level and the diameter of Langerhans islets of diabetic mice.

Background And Aim: At present, diabetes is treated with oral antidiabetic medicines, such as sulfonylureas and thiazolidine, as well as insulin injection. However, these methods have several shortcomings. Therefore, alternatives for treating diabetes mellitus (DM) are needed.

The effects of laser diode treatment on liver dysfunction of due to carbofuran exposure: An study.

Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the effect of laser diode as an alternative treatment on liver dysfunction ( study) that is caused by carbofuran using male mice () strain Balb/C.

Materials And Methods: The samples were divided into three groups, namely, Group C-L- (control group, no treatment), Group C+L- (only treated by carbofuran treatment), and Group C+L+ (treatment group, treated by carbofuran and laser-puncture) with five replications each. After being treated, each liver slice of samples was observed using microscope to get the histology result and then scored.

The effect of electric field, magnetic field, and infrared ray combination to reduce HOMA-IR index and GLUT 4 in diabetic model of Mus musculus.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder characterized by high blood glucose level (hyperglycemia). Type 2 diabetes mellitus is mainly featured by low cell sensitivity towards insulin stimulation, caused by ectopic fat storage. Insulin resistance can be quantified from high number of HOMA-IR index and observed from glucose transporter 4 (GLUT-4) translocation on membrane of skeletal muscle cells.

Gas Sensor Array System Properties for Detecting Bacterial Biofilms.

Background: Gas sensor array system is a device that mimics the work of how the nose smells using the gas sensors that could give response toward specific odors. It is used for characterizing the different blended gas that is suited with the biological working nose principle. Thus, it could be used to detect the dental and oral diseases.
