Protective effects of silymarin against paclitaxel-induced cardiac toxicity

In this study, the protectivity of silymarin (SY) against the harmful effects of paclitaxel (PX) on the heart was investigated. PX was administered 2 mg/kg intraperitoneally to the PX group, 100 mg/kg SY wasadministered by gavage to the SY group, and both drugs were administered to the PX + SY group...

Interactive Atlas of the Canine Brain, Heart and Kidney Created from Plastinated Samples

Int. j. morphol; 42 (3), 2024
SUMMARY: Currently, training in the field of anatomy requires the implementation of learning and knowledge technologies (TAC). Therefore, the objective of this work was to use digital images taken of plastinated canine brains, hearts, and kidneys to create an interactive atlas that facilitates the teachi...

Surface Models of the Four Chambers in Young Adult Hearts with Average Volumes Measured by Artificial Intelligence Tools

Int. j. morphol; 42 (3), 2024
SUMMARY: The average volumes of normal heart chambers in computed tomography (CT) are used not only as clinical criterions for heart disease diagnosis, but also as references in cardiology. With the development of artificial intelligence (AI), numerous CT data can be analyzed and segmented automatically....

Etoposide Model-Induced Changes in Antioxidant Studies Histological and Ultrastructural Evaluations of Hepatic, Renal, and Cardiac Tissues of Male Rats

Int. j. morphol; 42 (3), 2024
SUMMARY: Etoposide is an effective antimitotic and antineoplastic agent used to treat various human malignancies. In the present study, Etoposide was injected intraperitoneally into the rats at 1 mg/kg/day for 52 days (52 doses). The control animals received physiological saline (0.5 ml) intraperitoneall...

Miocardiopatía Hipertrófica en ausencia de criterios de hipertrofia. Serie de casos

Rev. chil. cardiol; 42 (3), 2023
La miocardiopatía hipertrófica (MCH) es la miocardiopatía hereditaria más frecuente, su principal expresión fenotípica consiste en hipertrofia ventricular izquierda (HVI) en ausencia de condiciones de carga que la justifiquen. Cuando existe una variante genética patogénica se denomina MCH sarcom�...

Establishment of deer heart identification method and development of the detection kit based on mitochondrial cytochrome B gene

BACKGROUND Deer heart is a valuable traditional Chinese medicinal material. At present, there is no functional component or symbol component for deer heart, and it is difficult to identify them by physical and chemical methods. In this study, we established deer heart identification method based on mtDNA...
