Comparative evaluation of the effects of deferiprone and/or resveratrol in alleviating iron overload-induced tongue injury in rats.

Iron overload causes excessive iron deposition in extrahepatic organs, including the tongue. This study aims to compare the deferiprone and/or resveratrol treatments for the alleviation of iron overload-induced tongue injury in rats. Rats were divided into 6 groups: control group, iron-overloaded group, recovery group where rats were left to recover from iron overload, deferiprone-treated group, resveratrol-treated group, and combined deferiprone/resveratrol-treated group.

Assessment of therapeutic efficacy of adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells administration in hyperlipidemia-induced aortic atherosclerosis in adult male albino rats.

Atherosclerosis (AS) is a common disease seriously detrimental to human health. AS is a chronic progressive disease related to inflammatory reactions. The present study aimed to characterize and evaluate the effects of adipose tissue stem cells (ADSCs) in high-fat diet-induced atherosclerosis in a rat model.

A Morphometric Study of the Patterns and Variations of the Acromion and Glenoid Cavity of the Scapulae in Egyptian Population.

Background: Owing to its many variations, scapula became one of the most interesting bones of the human skeleton.

Aim: To measure acromial and glenoid morphology in to describe their anatomical patterns and variations in Egyptians to establish possible morphofunctional correlations related to race, geographic region and literature data.

Materials And Methods: One hundred and sixty scapulae of unknown age and sex were studied.

External nasal parameters in Egyptians: an in-depth nasal photogrammatic analysis.

Purpose: As ethnic influences can result in different appearances of the nose, the purpose of this study was to provide a set of standard values of the external form of the nose with special emphasis on the influence of age and sex on these values to establish norms for the Egyptians.

Methods: Several soft-tissue landmarks on the external nose were obtained by a non-invasive, photogrammetric analysis in 1,000 healthy Egyptians aged 20-70 years. From these landmarks, ten linear distances and six nasal angles were measured and six nasal indices were calculated.

A normal data-base of posteroanterior radiographic measurements of the wrist in healthy Egyptians.

The roentgenographic morphology of the wrist has been described in textbooks and in articles but no ethnographic differences were reported. This study aims to identify normal radiographic anthropometry reference values and variations according to age and sex of carpal bones and joints in healthy Egyptians that might be useful in clinical practice. Selected landmarks were digitized on 300 posteroanterior wrist radiographs of asymptomatic volunteers.
