In this proposal, the terbium doping effect on the physical properties of Nd2Sn2O7 pyrochlore ceramics will be investigated by means of scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray analysis, X-ray diffraction, optical spectroscopy, impedance spectroscopy and temperature dependent current voltage characteristics. The effect of Tb on the...

Many metabolic diseases including, but not limited to, diabetes and obesity are accompanied by low grade inflammatory. In the case of diabetes type II, which is a complex metabolic disease that result in the development of impaired insulin signaling and β-cell dysfunction, insulin resistance, sub-clinical inflammation and increased oxidative stress...

Obesity and diabetes are reaching epidemic proportions all over the world in the twenty-first century. Herbal medicine has been currently suggested as an alternative source of potentially useful anti-hyperlipidemic and anti-hyperglycemic. The objective of this study is to assess the in vitro inhibitory activity of selected local anti-diabetic and...

Alström syndrome is an ultra-rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder characterized by cone-rod dystrophy, hearing loss, childhood truncal obesity, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. It is caused by biallelic mutations in the ALMS1 gene. Symptoms of Alström syndrome vary among individuals, but in general it is a progressive disease with multi...

Ridge resorption with altered dimension of the alveolar ridge will inevitably occur after tooth extraction with a negative impact on the subsequent implant position, implant restoration, and esthetic result. Despite the several techniques that have been suggested in literature, none of them could counteract this physiologic consequence after tooth...

Dental plaque biofilms are among the most complex microbial communities in nature. Failure to deal with plaque in the early stage of formation may lead to the development of oral diseases such as dental caries, gingivitis and periodontitis. Various strategies have been employed to reduce or eliminate dental biofilms, one of them is the use of...

Autism is widely spread in most populations including the Palestinian population. The disease is characterized as developmental disorder with clear genetics involvement accompanied with various disturbing behavioral symptoms. Our project aims to investigate if specific haplotypes of a neuronal membrane protein gene are Linked and represent a marker...

In the present study we will try to explore the cause of the Crohn’s disease. Two theories have been proposed by many previous investigators. One theory is in favor of being a genetic disease, while the second theory states that Mycobacterium avium subsp paratuberculosis (MAP) is the cause. In this project a detailed optimized protocol for...

In this proposed research work, investigators will seek to explore to how much extent wet-cupping-therapeutic techniques are practical and fruitful in the treatment of psychosomatics and related psychophysical symptoms, particularly in the case of chronic headaches. In many situations, traditional medical interventions do fail in such treatments...

To investigate the regenerative effect of the use of Leucocyte- and Platelet- rich fibrin (L-PRF) during periodontal surgery for the treatment of intra-bony defects, furcation defects and marginal tissue recessions in chronic periodontitis patients.
