Spatial distribution and risk assessment of heavy metals in the coastal waters of the Gulf of Suez, Red Sea, Egypt.

To assess ecological and health risks connected with heavy metal contamination in the Gulf of Suez, Red Sea seawater during winter 2021. The selected heavy metals were detected using the "AAS" Technique. The results presented that; the average metal concentrations ranged between (0.

Phylogenetical analysis of partially sequenced gene of in pigeons and its pathological lesions in Egypt.

Background: is widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions, causing pseudomalaria in pigeons.

Aims: The current study aimed to characterize the phylogenetic position of in pigeons in Sharkia province, Egypt, based on partial sequencing of the gene as the conserved regions. The "DNA barcode" of the gene helps in designing primers that can be used to amplify the same gene in the related haemosporidians.

Interleukin-22 and Chemokine Interferon γ -Inducible-10 (IP-10) Levels in Chronic Hepatitis C Patients and Treatment Response to Pegylated Interferon and Ribavirin Therapy.

IL-22 plays a vital role in improving hepatic damage by targeting hepatocytes that express high levels of IL-22 receptor1. IP-10 is a chemokine that recruit mononuclear cells to liver parenchyma and improves the host immune response against hepatitis C virus. The study targeted 27 patients with chronic HCV who received pegylated Interferon and Ribavirin.

Effect of Shankhpushpi on Alcohol Addiction in Mice.

Unlabelled: Alcohol addiction is a worldwide problem. It has mainly two components: dependence and withdrawal. Characteristic properties of most anti-addictive compounds include anti-anxiety, anticonvulsant, antidepressant, and nootropic actions.

Polymeric matrix membrane sensors for stability-indicating potentiometric determination of oxybutynin hydrochloride and flavoxate hydrochloride urogenital system drugs.

Four polyvinyl chloride (PVC) matrix membrane electrodes responsive to 2 drugs affecting the urogenital system--oxybutynin hydrochloride (OX) and flavoxate hydrochloride (FX)--were developed, described, and characterized. A precipitation-based technique with tungstophosphate (TP) and ammonium reineckate (R) anions as electroactive materials in a PVC matrix with an OX cation was used for electrode 1 and 2 fabrication, respectively. Electrode 3 and 4 fabrication was based on use of the precipitation technique of FX cation with tetrakis (4-chlorophenyl) borate and R anions as electroactive materials.
