Impact of Hypoxia on Cardiopulmonary Adaptation in Canines: A Comprehensive Review
Abstract: Hypoxia triggers a series of cardiopulmonary responses that play an important role in oxygen delivery and the continuation of physiological activity in mammals. Canines are also a useful translational model of study to examine these adaptive responses because of their anatomical, physiological, and cardiopulmonary differences with humans. This review summarizes the experimental data of acute, subacute and chronic hypoxia in dogs with particular focus on the variations in cardiac functioning, …

Treatment of Severe Iron Deficiency Anemia with the Traditional Koryo Medicine—Ginseng Anticancer Composite Drug (GACCD)
Abstract: In contrast to many medical conditions whose discovery carries a specific date often associated with a particular investigator, iron deficiency is an ancient disorder that stretches to the dawn of human history. In recent years, Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is a disease that has reached epidemic proportions affecting countries worldwide, when it commonly begins from denutrition. Iron deficiency produces microcytic hypochromic red cells and substantially depresses both the mean corpuscular …

Ameliorating Effect of Vitamin C on Acid Orange 7 Induced Oxidative Stress in the Gill of the Fish, Anabas testudineus (Bloch, 1792)
Abstract: Acid orange 7, an azo dye, was exposed to Anabas testudineus at a sublethal concentration (0.27 g/l) for 24, 72 and 96 h in order to evaluate the antioxidant status in the gill tissue. In addition, vitamin C at 0.55 g/l was exposed for 7 days after the dye exposure. Acid orange 7 decreased the body weight of fish, whereas mucous deposition increased significantly as the first line of defensive …

The Effects of HIV/AIDS Worldwide
Abstract: The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), which targets immune system conductors (CD4 cells), has infected millions throughout the world. HIV lowers the body's defences by infecting certain bodily fluids (blood, sperm, vaginal fluids, and breast milk) through unprotected sex, contaminated needles, or mother-to-child transmission. Early flu-like symptoms may go unrecognised, but if not treated, HIV advances to AIDS, which is characterised by severe immune system impairment. However, advances in antiretroviral therapy …

The Effect of Vitamin C on the Reproductive Functions of Paraquat Intoxicated Male Albino Rats (Rattus norvegicus)
Abstract: Paraquat (PQ) is a bipyridylium herbicide applied around trees in Orchids and between crop rows to control broad-leaved and grassy weeds. Its oxidation results in the formation of superoxides and supernitrite species which causes damage to cellular components.
