LEOPARD syndrome is a complex dysmorphogenetic disorder of variable penetrance and expressivity. Mutations in the PTPN11 gene are frequently reported in patients with Noonan syndrome (NS) and LEOPARD syndrome (LS). Q510E mutation in PTPN11 has always been associated with lethal or rapidly progressive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy both in NS and LS pa

Al-Amanah (honesty) is the first requirement to be a real success in the world and rewarded in the Day of Judgment. Nevertheless, many people are inattentive to fulfil it in their daily life. Consequently, corruption, violence and anti-social activities are an everyday occurrence throughout the world. Therefore, the main objective of this study is

The nanocellulose and its composites have been covered in this chapter which is confirmed to be a very versatile material having the wide range of medical applications, including cardiovascular implants, scaffolds for tissue engineering, repair of articular cartilage, vascular grafts, urethral catheters, mammary prostheses, penile prostheses, adhes

BACKGROUND Research findings have linked exposure to pesticides to an increased risk of cardiovascular (CVS) diseases. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the impact of chronic mix-pesticides exposure on CVS hemodynamic parameters. METHODS A total of 198 male Malay pesticide-exposed and 195 male Malay nonexposed workers were examined. Data were c

Global competition and the customers demand for customized products with shorter due dates, marked the introduction of the Extended Enterprise. In this Extended Manufacturing Environment (EME), lean, virtual, networked and distributed enterprises collaborate to respond to the market demands. In this paper we study the influence of the batch size on

Although hospitals’ management currently observe all general rules set by the government nevertheless, there are certain short comings on the part of management, as it lacks comliance with the requirement of Shari’ah in respects of selection of medicine, the relations between the patients and the doctors of differnt gender, and the lack of the

A persistent reduction in regional cerebral blood flow (CBF) compromises memory and cognitive functions in the elderly leading to neurological illnesses. To unravel the neuropathological consequences of a reduced CBF a similar condition has been created in rats by common carotid artery occlusion (2 vessel occlusion, 2VO). Since oxidative stress, le

Unloaded microspheres were prepared from Polycaprolactone (PCL) using an oil-in water emulsion solvent evaporation method. The microspheres with the size distribution in a range of 150-200 µm were then treated by exposed the microspheres under ultra violet irradiation and simultaneously aerated with ozone (UV/O3) to modify the surface of the beads

Background Chronic cerebral hypoperfusion has been linked with cognitive decline in aging and Alzheimer's disease (AD). A reduced cerebral blood flow (CBF) is considered to be a predictive marker for the progression into Alzheimer's disease. In order to tackle the neuropathological consequences of such a reduction in CBF a similar condition
