Identity and Ethnic/Racial Self-Labeling among Americans of Arab or Middle Eastern and North African Descent.

The identity of Americans of Arab or Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) descent has been relatively understudied within the U.S. racial landscape.

Particle bombardment-mediated co-transformation of the gene in wheat and the associated changes in defense mechanisms in transgenic plants infected with .

is a major global pathogen of cereals and is considered the main causal agent of head blight disease in wheat. Infection with causes a significant reduction in crop yield and quality; therefore, it is very important to improve wheat pathogen resistance. In the present study, the plasmid pAHCht-2 harboring the () gene for pathogen resistance and the plasmid pAB6 containing the reporter and selectable marker genes were used for genetic transformation of immature embryo-derived calli of the Egyptian wheat cultivar Giza 164 using particle bombardment.

Effect of Nigella sativa alcoholic extract and oil, as well as Phaseolus vulgaris (kidney bean) lectin on the ultrastructure of Trichomonas vaginalis trophozoites.

Trichomonas vaginalis is a parasitic protozoan that is the aetiological agent of trichomoniasis, the most common non-viral sexually transmitted disease worldwide. Currently, the compound of choice for the treatment of T. vaginalis infections is metronidazole, however, it has many side effects and an increase in metronidazole-resistant trichomoniasis has been observed.

Are the fatty acids responsible for the higher effect of oil and alcoholic extract of Nigella sativa over its aqueous extract on Trichomonas vaginalis trophozoites?

Trichomoniasis, the disease caused by the flagellate protozoan Trichomonas vaginalis is the sexually transmitted infection with the largest annual incidence. Metronidazole is the drug of choice recommended for the treatment of human trichomoniasis but it can lead to drug resistance and many other adverse effects. So, it is necessary for new alternatives for the treatment of this infection.

Emergency department visits and admissions due to drug related problems at Riyadh military hospital (RMH), Saudi Arabia.

Objectives: Aim of this study was to prospectively determine the incidence and types of emergency department (ED) visits and admissions due to drug related problems (DRPs) at Riyadh Military Hospital (RMH), to assess the severity and preventability of these drug related admissions or visits, and to identify the drugs and patient groups that are most commonly involved.

Method: Patients (n = 300) were selected randomly from patients presented to the ED during the study period (one month). Computerized randomization program was used to select ten beds daily on different areas and times.
