Taify Pomegranate Juice (TPJ) Abrogates Acrylamide-Induced Oxidative Stress Through the Regulation of Antioxidant Activity, Inflammation, and Apoptosis-Associated Genes.

Acrylamide (ACR) has various effects on biological systems, including oxidative stress and its associated metabolic disorders. Previous research reports that plants growing at high altitude have a different profile of antioxidants. In the current report, the Taify pomegranate juice (TPJ) of the Taify pomegranate growing at the Taif region (high altitude), Saudi Arabia, was investigated for its protective activity from ACR-induced oxidative stress.

The prevalence and intensity of external parasites in domestic pigeons () in Egypt with special reference to the role of deltamethrin as insecticidal agent.

This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and intensity of external parasites in domestic pigeons in Giza, Egypt, from January 2020 to December 2020. A total of 300 domestic pigeons (25 pigeons per month) were examined. The birds were divided into groups based on their age.

Biological silicon nanoparticles maximize the efficiency of nematicides against biotic stress induced by in eggplant.

Nemours effective management tactics were used to reduce world crop losses caused by plant-parasitic nematodes. Nowadays the metallic nanoparticles are easily developed with desired size and shape. Nanoparticles (NPs) technology becomes a recognized need for researchers.

Toxicity, Deterrent and Repellent Activities of Four Essential Oils on (Hemiptera: Aphididae).

Chemical insecticides have many harmful effects, including as foodborne residues and environmental contaminants, as well as side effects on natural enemies and serious risks for human health. The use of plant-derived essential oils (EOs) as effective bio-agents has become an essential component of integrated pest management. In this study, the contact toxicity, deterrent, and repellent activities were evaluated for essential oils obtained from , and , grown at high altitudes in the Taif region, KSA, on .

Field Evaluation of Native Fungus, (Bals.) Vuillemin Against some Piercing-Sucking Insects on the Grapevine.

Background And Objective: The Taify cultivar of grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) is the second important economical fruit after pomegranate at high altitudes of the Taif region in Saudi Arabia. The grapevine trees are infested with different piercing-sucking insect pests especially aphids, whiteflies and thrips.

Pathogenicity and Side Effect of Indigenous on and (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae).

This study aimed to estimate the virulence of an indigenous on all developmental stages of two indigenous coccinellids; and through three application methods; direct spray, contact method, and feeding on aphids treated with the fungus (ingestion). Also, indirect effect on all developmental stages resulted from 1st larval instar treated with these application methods. All treatments were done with a concentration of 1 × 10 which was recommended in previous studies for different aphid species with a control of 0.

Knowledge And Attitude Of Undergraduate Dental Students Towards Research.

Background: Scientific research is an important part of healthcare curricula and a vital exercise to help develop clinician's research skills. The aim of this study was to evaluate quantitatively the knowledge and attitude of undergraduate dental students towards scientific research. In addition, the study explored the reasons for lack of interest in research by the dental students.
