Abstract Oxidative stress plays an important role in cardiovascular diseases. The study investigated the effects of dietary palm tocotrienol-rich fraction on homocysteine metabolism in rats fed a high-methionine diet. Forty-two male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to six groups. Five groups were fed with high-methionine diet (1 %) for 10 weeks.

As the world becomes more interconnected now than decades ago, information security incidents are more prevalent in organizations. The incidents are more likely caused by insiders and they can happen with or without intentions. Although some security studies state that unintentional security incidents could cause more damages to organizational info

Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) is one of the most important food crops in the world. Sweet potato is rich with carotenoids and pro-vitamin A. Carotenoids compounds are commonly found in fruits and vegetables and are responsible for yellow, orange, and red pigmentations. Carotenoids are antioxidants compounds with pharmaceutical and medicinal benefi

Introduction: Aggressive periodontitis is characterized by a rapid rate of attachment loss and bone resorption. Regenerative therapy offers reconstruction of the periodontium; however, certain advanced cases with a questionable prognosis might remain a challenge. We report a successful intervention outcome of a challenging case in the aesthetic zon

This paper presents the design and simulation results for a multi-frequency oscillator based on comple- mentary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) microelec- tromechanical systems (MEMS) surface acoustic wave (SAW) resonator. Multi-frequency oscillator is simulated using 0.35 μm CMOS technology. The oscillator operated at 600 and 1.76 GHz. The multi

Introduction: High prevalence of periodontitis has been reported in the 21st century. However, the traditional nonsurgical periodontal treatment results in healing by long junctional epithelium. Long-term stability of the teeth requires reconstruction of what have been lost from the soft and hard tissues of the periodontium. Case report: Clinical s

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the association between cardiovascular risk markers and chronic periodontitis. Material and Methods: A total of 40 healthy individuals were included in this case control study and categorized into two groups of 20 subjects each. Of these, 20 patients were controls with no clinical attachment loss and 20

In order to develop environmentally friendly conductive polymer composites, polylactic acid (PLA) plasticized with polyethylene glycol (PEG), was compounded with carbon black (CB). It was confirmed that PEG efficiently plasticized the PLA, marked by the decrease in glass transition point of PLA, as the PEG content increased. Electrical surface resi

The formal dispensation of criminal justice in pluralistic legal systems has continued to generate academic interest in the last few decades. This has always been influenced by the colonial and post-colonial historical legal reforms in the African continent. Islamic law has played a very significant role in the evolution of the modern nomenclature
