Maternal exposure to low-dose bisphenol A and its potential neurotoxic impact on male pups: A histological, immunohistochemical, and ultrastructural study.

Background: Bisphenol A (BPA) is a widely used chemical with a harmful effect on animal and human. The neonatal and juvenile period is a highly risky neurodevelopmental period.

Aim: This study aimed to determine how male albino rat pups' cerebral cortex was altered by low doses of BPA given to mothers and the role of the oxidative stress.

Unraveling the hepatic stellate cells mediated mechanisms in aging's influence on liver fibrosis.

Aging enhances numerous processes that compromise homeostasis and pathophysiological processes. Among these, activated HSCs play a pivotal role in advancing liver fibrosis. This research delved into how aging impacts liver fibrosis mechanisms.

The protective effect of allium cepa against ethylene glycol-induced kidney stones in rats.

1background: Kidney stones is one of the serious medical conditions affecting populations worldwide. So, we aimed in this study to investigate the protective effect of allium cepa administration against KSD.

2methods: 24 adult male albino rats were assigned into 3 groups; group I: control group; group II: received ethylene glycol (EG) in the drinking water for 4 weeks; and group III received EG in the drinking water plus freshly prepared allium cepa extract (ACE) for 4 weeks.

A call to enhance transparency among Egyptian medical schools.

Background: Making accreditation results easily accessible has become a worldwide essential issue, especially after international standards were created for medical education. The Egyptian Society for Medical Education (ESME) expects Egyptian medical schools to be more open about their accreditation results to build trust with students, families, and the community. This will help ensure newly graduated doctors are of high quality.

Hesperidin protects against aluminum-induced renal injury in rats via modulating MMP-9 and apoptosis: biochemical, histological, and ultrastructural study.

Aluminum, one of the most abundant metallic elements, is known to be toxic to multiple organs including the kidneys. This study aimed to investigate the pleiotropic nephroprotective effects of Hesperidin in aluminum chloride (ALCL3)-induced renal injury, highlighting the potential molecular mechanisms underlying. Twenty-four male albino rats were divided into four groups: control, Hesperidin (80 mg/kg BW, orally), ALCL3 (10 mg/kg BW, IP), and ALCL3 + Hesperidin groups.

Resveratrol thyro-protective role in fluorosis rat model (histo-morphometric, biochemical and ultrastructural study).

Background: Thyroid gland affection by Fluorosis is documented in a number of previous studies. Resveratrol is a natural compound of plant origin. Its protective role was demonstrated previously in mice and rats against fluoride-induced hepatotoxicity and neurotoxicity.

Histopathological scoring system role in evaluation of electronic cigarette's impact on respiratory pathway in albino rat: Biochemical, histo-morphometric and ultrastructural study.

Background: Electronic cigarettes have gained growing popularity especially among adolescents and young adults. Although the dominant consideration by consumers and the companies claims, whether electronic smoking is indeed a much safer alternative to traditional smoking is hotly debated.

Aim: To declare the biochemical, histopathological and ultrastructural impact of electronic cigarette exposure on the tissues of respiratory passage.
