    Abstract: Various factors; nutrition, hygiene, stress, infections, low immunity, menses, frequent sexual intercourses, pregnancy etc., destroyed vaginal microbial balance, which reflected in the number of lactobacilli decrease and increase the number of pathogenic microorganisms, as well as the pH-value. All this in turn causes vaginosis. The aim of this stu... Show More

    Abstract: Objectives: evaluation of cystatin C level in the serum as a predictor of early renal impairment in type 2 diabetic patients. Background: the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is often estimated from plasma creatinine. Several studies have shown that cystatin C (Cys C) can be used as a better marker for the early detection of renal function decline.... Show More

    Abstract: Reproductive success of the male is not only depends on his success in mating, but the number of females he could inseminate in a given time. The age effect on male remating and progeny production has been studied in Drosophila malerkotliana. It was found that middle aged males had a greater percentage of remating than those of young or old males. ... Show More

    Abstract: In the present study, the small GTP binding proteins involved in the regulatory mechanism of vitellogenin (Vg) endocytotic vesicles trafficking were detected, for the first time, in ovaries of the most basal hemimetabolus insect, Periplaneta americana during oogenesis. The ovarian GTPase activities were peaked during previtellogenic and early vitel... Show More
