Employing of Curcumin-Silver Nanoparticle-Incorporated Sodium Alginate-Co-Acacia Gum Film Hydrogels for Wound Dressing.

Skin wound healing is time-consuming and frequently accompanied by bacterial infections and the development of scars. The rise of antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains has sparked a growing interest in naturally occurring bioactive substances, like curcumin, that possess wound-healing capabilities. Silver is a natural antimicrobial agent, and finds extensive use in specialized wound dressings.

Green Synthesized Silver Nanoparticles Loaded in Polysaccharide Hydrogel Applied to Chronic Wound Healing in Mice Models.

The prevalence of chronic wounds is increasing owing to the expanding population and the growing number of individuals suffering from diabetes. Such a chronic wound continues to be a significant healthcare burden for diabetic patients because it frequently carries a high chance of limb loss due to amputation and reduces survival as a result. Development of innovative wound dressing materials with the potential to stop bacterial infections and accelerate the process of tissue regeneration is needed to increase the effectiveness of diabetic wound healing.

Green Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles Loaded Hydrogel for Wound Healing; Systematic Review.

Wound healing is a biological process that involves a series of consecutive process, and its impairment can lead to chronic wounds and various complications. Recently, there has been a growing interest in employing nanotechnology to enhance wound healing. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have expanded significant attention due to their wide range of applications in the medical field.

Silver Nanoparticles Loaded on Chitosan-g-PVA Hydrogel for the Wound-Healing Applications.

Silver nanoparticle composites have abundant biomedical applications due to their unique antibacterial properties. In the current work, green tea leaf extract was used as a natural reducing agent to synthesize AgNPs (AgNPs) using microwave irradiation technology. Furthermore, microwave irradiation has been used for the preparation of AgNPs/chitosan (Ch) grafted polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogel samples.

Green Extract Ameliorates Testicular Injury in High-Fat Diet/Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetes in Rats.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic endocrine disease characterized by persistent hyperglycemia. Oxidative damage, inflammatory cytokines, and apoptotic cell death play a major role in the induction and progression of male testicular damage. Plant-derived phytochemicals such as green coffee () can possess antidiabetic effects with little toxicity.

Neuromodulatory effects of green coffee bean extract against brain damage in male albino rats with experimentally induced diabetes.

Diabetes mellitus is an increasing metabolic disease worldwide associated with central nervous system disorders. Coffee is a widely consumed beverage that enriched with antioxidants with numerous medicinal applications. Accordingly, the present study aimed to investigate the therapeutic potential of orally administered green coffee bean water extract (GCBWE) against cortical damage induced by high fat diet (HFD) followed by a single injection of streptozotocin (STZ) in rats.

MicroRNA-21, microRNA-181a and microRNA-196a as potential biomarkers in adult Egyptian patients with systemic lupus erythematosus.

Dysregulation of miRNAs has been described in systemic lupus erythematosis (SLE), however the clinical relevance of using miRNAs as biomarkers for SLE or predictors of disease progression is poorly investigated. This study investigated the expression signature of plasma miR-21, miR-181a and miR-196a among seventy SLE patients with different systemic lupus erythematosis disease activity index (SLEDAI) scores and thirty healthy controls using quantitative real-time PCR. Plasma IL-10 level was also measured in patients and control groups.

Pregnancy related complications in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, an egyptian experience.

Background: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) has a tendency to occur in women in their reproductive years, causing complications during pregnancy and labour. Conversely, pregnancy can cause flares of disease activity, often necessitating immediate intervention.

Aim Of Study: to study pregnancy related complications in patients with SLE.

[Fatale post transfusionnel hepatitis CMV of fatal outcome].

Background: The cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is most often asymptomatic, serious forms are confined to immunocompromised.

Aim: We report a new case of post-transfusionnel hepatitis CMV of fatal outcome.

Case: A 83 year old man, asthmatic known for 26 years treated by corticosteroids, without particular hepatic antecedents, has presented an acute hepatitis post-transfusionnel CMV of fatal outcome.

[Fahr's syndrome: two case report].

Introduction: Fahr's syndrome is characterized by symmetrical and bilateral intracerebral calcifications, located in the basal ganglia and mostly associated with a phosphorus calcium metabolism disorder. It must be distinguished from genetic or sporadic Fahr's disease.

Observations: We report two cases of this syndrome, the first was revealed by psychotic and cognitive disorders and the other by epilepsy.

Potential diagnosis of Giardia lamblia infection through specific antibody detection in saliva.

Thirty six patients presenting with gastrointestinal symptoms were studied for the presence of specific anti-Giardia lamblia salivary IgA antibodies. Stool samples were examined for parasites especially G. lamblia by direct smear.
