Our objective was to evaluate the effects of onion consumption on prevention of NAFLD/NASH development. Sprague-Dawley rats were fed either high-fat, high sugar diet (model group), or high-fat, high sugar diet plus 7% onion powder (model + onion), or chow diet ad libitum for 7 weeks.

Altered Epigenetic Mechanisms in Thyroid Cancer Subtypes.

There is no agreement regarding COC classification.

High-fat diet effects on metabolic responses to chronic stress.

Context: High-fat diets and chronic stress are prevalent risk factors for various chronic diseases in modern societies.

Objective: This study investigated the effect of high-fat diet on glucose-related metabolic responses to chronic foot-shock stress.

Materials And Methods: Male rats were divided into high-fat diet (containing 54.

Biliary mucinous cystic neoplasm: a case report and review of the literature.

Hepatobiliary cystadenomas (HBC) is a rare neoplasm which comprising less than one percent of liver cystic neoplasms. Although it's known as a benign tumor, but they have a potential for neoplastic transformation. Making a proper diagnosis and ruling out of other differential diagnosis is important because of different treatment.

An Accessible and Pragmatic Experimental Model of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease.

Unlabelled: BACKGROUND There is no convenient cheap pragmatic experimental model for Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)/Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH).

Objective: Our objective was to create a pragmatic model of NAFLD/NASH. METHODS Sprague-Dawley rats were fed a high-fat, high sugar homemade diet ad libitum for seven weeks.

The effects of onion consumption on treatment of metabolic, histologic, and inflammatory features of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of onion powder consumption on treatment of Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) in an experimental model of disease.

Methods: Sprague-Dawley rats were fed high-fat (HF) diet for seven weeks to induce the NAFLD. Then, they were treated by either the same diet (HF), or high-fat diet plus 7 % onion powder (HF + onion), or chow diet (control), or chow diet plus 7 % onion powder (control + onion)ad libitum for four weeks.

Outcome of subsequent pregnancies in familial molar pregnancy.

Familial recurrent molar pregnancy is an exceedingly rare condition, in which complete hydatidiform moles are mostly diploid but biparental in origin and the outcome of subsequent pregnancies is likely to be a hydatidiform mole or other type of reproductive loss. We previously reported a case of familial molar pregnancy (family K) comprising five affected members (four sisters and one of their cousins) each with at least one hydatidiform mole (HM). In addition to the molar pregnancies, these patients have a total of three miscarriages and 8 normal pregnancies leading to healthy children; but the youngest member of this family has given birth to a boy with Down syndrome.

High Prevalence of Sleep Problems in School- and Preschool-aged Children in Tehran: a Population Based Study.

Objective: Sleep problems are experienced by 25-30 percent of children and adolescents, regardless of age. The purpose of this study was to investigate if there is any relationship between gender or school entrance and sleep complaints.

Methods: From June 2008 to May 2009 children aged 2 to 12 years were selected by clustered randomization of families.
