Ameliorating Role Of Ulva Lactuca Extract On Neurobehavioral And Neurochemical Abnormalities Caused By Lithium In Rats, Samira Bouhalit, Noura Brahmi

Journal of Bioresource Management

Lithium is a relevant mood-stabilizing agent that is used in the management of depressive and manic episodes in bipolar, disorder; however, its application may cause diverse side effects including oxidative stress. This work investigated the neuroprotective and anti-stress activity of Ulva lactuca extract (MEUL) against lithium induced neuronal toxicity in rats. Lithium (2 g/kg) was administered in diets with or without MEUL (250 mg/kg BW by gavage) for 90 days. Lithium induced oxidative stress lead to an elevation in lipid peroxidation and oxidation protein product levels, a reduced superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase activities, glutathione, and ascorbic acid concentrations in brain. …

The Relationship Of Subjective Global Assessment (Sga) With Energy Intake, Protein, Hand Grip Strength And Body Mass Index In Chronic Kidney Disease (Ckd) Patients With Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (Capd), Yudhi Adrianto, Ni Made Hustrini, Triyani Kresnawan, Annisa Eka Amelia, Fitri Hudayani

Jurnal Penyakit Dalam Indonesia

Introduction. Energy and protein intake in chronic kidney disease (CKD) with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) therapy plays an important role in balancing hypercatabolic conditions. Unbalanced intake will result in energy and protein deficits which are increasing the risk of muscle catabolism, decreasing body mass index (BMI), and malnutrition. Subjective global assessment (SGA) as the gold standard in nutritional assessment is needed in assessing nutritional status and determining malnutrition, therefore nutritional intervention can be delivered and improve CAPD patients’ quality of life. This study was conducted to determine the relationship between SGA with energy and protein intake, hand grip strength, …

Optimization Of In-Vitro Tissue Culture And Transformation System For Sweet Sorghum Cultivars Using Immature Inflorescence, Logayn Abushal

Theses and Dissertations

Background: Sweet sorghum is a multi-purpose crop that can be used for human food, animal feed, and bio-fuel production. This crop is drought-tolerant and can therefore be grown in arid and semi-arid regions especially in marginal areas in Egypt. Nevertheless, production of Sweet sorghum cannot coup with the increasing demand in consumption as a food, and fuel due to a lag in scientific research regarding its genetic improvement. Therefore, genetic improvement of Sweet sorghum is innately required so that new traits of economic importance could be introduced; however, this can only be achieved through the establishment of a robust in-vitro …

Management Of Dysphagia In Spinal Muscular Atrophy, Kuo-Chang Wei, Wen-Chin Weng, Tyng-Guey Wang

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive neuromuscular disease. SMA phenotypes can be determined by the timing of disease onset and the highest level of motor development reachable by the patient. Generally speaking, proximal muscle involvement is more severe than in the distal extremities. In addition, cervical and the masticatory and pharyngeal muscles were likely affected by the disease, which can cause feeding problems and dysphagia. Clinically, dysphagia is more common among patients with type I and type II SMA. To thoroughly evaluate swallowing-related issues, both subjective information from patients and their caregivers and findings from objective tools including …
