Phytochemical And Neuroprotective Investigation On Ferula Hermonis, Karim Raafat
Phytochemical And Neuroprotective Investigation On Ferula Hermonis, Karim Raafat
BAU Journal - Health and Wellbeing
Ferula hermonis (F. hermonis, Fh) is one of the important medicinal-plants cultivated in Lebanon. The aim of this study is to phytochemically-investigate F. hermonis and its most active compound(s) and to explore their neuroprotective potentials utilizing an in vivo model of glycine receptor. HPLC-DAD investigation was done to identify F. hermonis phytochemical constituents. Combined chromatographic, bio-guided fractionation, and in vivo model of glycine receptor were utilized to identify its most active constituent(s). HPLC has shown that F. hermonis has shown 11 major peaks identified as: (1) Jaeskenin (2.47%), (2) Acetoxy-Ferutinin (3.71%), (3) Lapiferin (4.95%), (4) Siol anisate (6.16%), (5) Fertidin …

Kim-1 Gene Polymorphism And Acute Kidney Injury In The Lebanese Population, Jamila Borjac
BAU Journal - Health and Wellbeing
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a clinical syndrome with diverse pathophysiology. It is associated with increased mortality rate and hospitalization time. Different biomarkers are used for early diagnosis of AKI including Kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1). The aim of this study is to determine the association between KIM-1 gene polymorphism and AKI in Lebanese hospitalized patients. Blood samples were collected from fifty AKI patients and forty controls from the Beqaa and North Lebanon to isolate the genomic DNA. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to amplify exon 4. The amplified PCR products were sequenced. Eleven variations were identified in exon 4 …
Evaluation Of Phenolic Content, Antiradical And Antibacterial Activities Of Orange And Carrot Pomace Extracts, Dina Cheaib, Karim Raafat, Nada El Darra
Evaluation Of Phenolic Content, Antiradical And Antibacterial Activities Of Orange And Carrot Pomace Extracts, Dina Cheaib, Karim Raafat, Nada El Darra
BAU Journal - Health and Wellbeing
Orange and carrot pomace are considered as food wastes, despite their high content in beneficial health compounds. The comparison of phenolic extracts from orange and carrot pomace, showed higher values for Orange pomace, with a polyphenols concentration (130 mg/L), flavonoids (8.67 mg/L) and tannins (2.5 mg/L). A higher antiradical activity was also noted for orange pomace. However, carrot pomace presented a higher anti-bacterial activity. The beneficial activities of these extracts were owed to their high content in phenolic acids. Our study exhibited that orange and carrot pomace might be utilized as natural preservatives for many industrial applications.

Simplified Technique For Removal Of Prefabricated Threaded Posts, Mohammad M. Rayyan, Ammar M. Alwaely
Simplified Technique For Removal Of Prefabricated Threaded Posts, Mohammad M. Rayyan, Ammar M. Alwaely
BAU Journal - Creative Sustainable Development
This paper describes a time-saving procedure for the removal of prefabricated threaded posts. In this technique, a slit is prepared in the head of the post to-be-removed so that it can be engaged by a jewelers’ precision stainless steel flat-blade screwdriver which would drive it out when rotated counterclockwise. This simple technique spares the clinician valuable time and effort during removal, requires minimal or no loss of valuable tooth structure compared to other techniques. It is also conservative in the sense that it does not expose dental tissue to thermal insults from use of ultrasound.

BAU Journal - Creative Sustainable Development
During last decades, the aim of new technologies was to develop new information systems to automate manual processes. Large-scale projects in the field of construction industry need a different approach to organize and analyze data creating a database without any duplication or redundancy. Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a teamwork process using advanced technologies to generate data modeling. Based on a literature review, the present research proposes a set of hypotheses that links BIM implementation with the enhancement of information sharing capability (ISC) and collaborative decision capability (CDC) in the construction sector of the building industry. Consequently, it relates the …
