Echocardiographic assessment of right ventricular blood flow and tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion in apparently healthy domestic short-haired cats.

Right ventricular parameters change in many cardiovascular diseases; so, the presence of normal right ventricular parameters is necessary to diagnose these diseases. Ten clinically healthy adult domestic short-haired cats including six males and four females in the range of 2.70 to 4.

Data for zonisamide effect on length and weight of 14 day-old rat pups and abortion rate and day in refractory epileptic pregnant rats.

Length and weight of 14 day-old rat pups and also abortion rate and day on refractory epileptic pregnant rats after treatment with zonisamide (ZNS) are presented. Lamotrigine-resistant chemical kindling procedure was used for inducing of refractory epilepsy. For further interpretation follow the research article: Effect of zonisamide on refractory epilepsy during pregnancy in lamotrigine resistant kindled rats (Sani et al.

Effect of zonisamide on refractory epilepsy during pregnancy in lamotrigine resistant kindled rats.

Drug-resistant epilepsy with uncontrolled severe seizures despite state-of-the-art medical treatment continues to be a major clinical problem. Pregnancy is a state where drug pharmacokinetic changes are more pronounced and more rapid than any other period of life. The current study investigated the effect of zonisamide (ZNS) on refractory epilepsy during pregnancy in lamotrigine-resistant kindled rats.

Evaluation of the protective effect of pentoxifylline on carrageenan-induced chronic non-bacterial prostatitis in rats.

Chronic non-bacterial prostatitis (CNP) is the most common type of prostatitis and oxidative stress (OS) was shown to be highly elevated in prostatitis patients. This study aimed to investigate the protective effect of pentoxifylline (PTX) on CNP induced by carrageenan in rats. Male adult Wistar rats (n = 30) were divided into control, CNP and three treatment groups (n = 6) including CNP + cernilton and CNP + PTX groups.

Motor disturbances and thalamic electrical power of frequency bands' improve by grape seed extract in animal model of Parkinson's disease.

Objective: Previous studies showed that grape seed extract (GSE) is an excellent natural substance with potent antioxidant effect and free radical scavenger. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of GSE on motor dysfunctions and thalamic local Electroencephalography (EEG) frequency bands' powers in rats with Parkinson's disease (PD).

Materials And Methods: In this study 8 µg 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) dissolved in 2 µl normal saline containing 0.
