Effectiveness of neutral honey as a tissue fixative in histopathology.

In routine histopathology, 10% neutral buffered formalin (NBF) is the choice fixative. However, formalin is a human carcinogen, so there is a necessity for a safer alternative. To the best of our knowledge, neutral honey, not natural or artificial honey, has not been tested to fix histological samples.

One-year Review of COVID-19 in the Arab World.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has affected almost every country worldwide, including all 22 Arab countries. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to follow the prevalence of COVID-19 in all Arab countries. In this review, we aimed to assess the 12-month prevalence of COVID-19 in Arab countries and to compare these findings with other significantly affected countries.

A review of the prevalence of COVID-19 in the Arab world.

Introduction: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a rapidly spreading disease worldwide. It is a real test for all health authorities including Arab countries. In this review, we aimed to assess the prevalence of COVID-19 in the Arab world.

Incidence of pediatric glomerular diseases in Arab world: A systematic review.

Despite the high number of Arab children, there are a scanty available data about different types of pediatric glomerular diseases in all Arab countries. Very few Arab countries have a national renal biopsy registry. In this review, we performed a systematic review analyzing the incidence of pediatric glomerular disease in all Arab countries.

Spectrum of glomerular diseases in Arab countries: A systematic review.

According to the best of our knowledge, there is no review compiling incidence of glomerular disease in all Arab countries. Most of the Arab countries do not have a national renal biopsy registry. In addition, there is scanty data available on the epidemiology of glomerular diseases in Arab countries.

Broccoli () Reduces Oxidative Damage to Pancreatic Tissue and Combats Hyperglycaemia in Diabetic Rats.

Oxidative stress plays a pivotal role in the development of diabetes and hyperglycaemia. The protective effects of natural extracts against diabetes are mainly dependent on their antioxidant and hypoglycaemic properties. Broccoli () exerts beneficial health effects in several diseases including diabetes; however, the mechanism has not been elucidated yet.

Renal and myocardial histopathology and morphometry in rats with adenine - induced chronic renal failure: influence of gum acacia.

Background/aim: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with increased occurrence of cardiovascular system dysfunction. Previous studies have revealed a number of alterations in the kidneys and heart during CKD. However, unbiased quantitative studies on these structures in this disease have so far not been addressed.

Amelioration of azoxymethane induced-carcinogenesis by reducing oxidative stress in rat colon by natural extracts.

Background: Azoxymethane (AOM) is a potent carcinogenic agent commonly used to induce colon cancer in rats; the cytotoxicity of AOM is considered to mediate oxidative stress. This study investigated the chemopreventive effect of three natural extracts [pomegranate peel extract (PomPE), papaya peel extract (PapPE) and seaweed extract (SE)] against AOM-induced oxidative stress and carcinogenesis in rat colon.

Methods: Eighty Sprague-Dawley rats (aged 4 weeks) were randomly divided into 8 groups (10 rats/group).
