COVID-19 interaction with the cardiovascular system on different levels, rising death percent in people underlying cardiovascular state provoking myocardial injury. Respiratory infection varying from mild cold to the severe illness like as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome the most important coronavirus (COVID-19) complications, however individuals with asymptomatic disease were also suspected of possible infectious transmission, which further adds to the uncertainty of the dynamic of disease transmission in COVID-19 infections, Suppression of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE2) expression by inflammatory cytokines accompanied by the decrease of estrogens and androgens of the elderly, establish a negative correlation between ACE2 expression and mortality in other cases may lead to infertility. Early detection by PCR has aided the identification of the pathogen at an early level. Furthermore, the treatment includes the effectiveness of glucocorticoid drugs (dexamethasone), anti-malaria drug (hydroxychloroquine), azithromycin (antibacterial drug) and favipiravir are all drugs recommended in illness with Covid-19. Remdesivir suppression COVID-19 replication and decreases viral load, alleviates clinical signs and improves pulmonary injury, therefore Remdesivir drug has been used as a compassionate medicine for treating COVID-19 patients.

The monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP) produced by the podocyte and monocyte in response to these stimuli and has a role in the feedback based on thyroid hormones therefore MCP is increased secretion depending on thyroid hormones; also it's increased with enlargement of adipocyte tissue, i.e., in patients with high body mass index (BMI), there is a relationship between Hashimoto's disease and obesity, that has an effect on the thyroid gland function. Obesity have important role on thyrostimulated hormones (TSHs), as it has a great effect on metabolism and expansion of the thyroid gland; researchers have previously found that obese individuals have higher serum TSH levels. The results of the study have reported that MCP 1, TSH, and BMI levels were highly significant increased in sera of G2 compared with G1, while T3 and T4 levels were highly significant decreased in sera of G2 compared with G1 in referring to G1: Healthy control group while G2: HT patients.

In other sections, the liver showed large necrotic area replacement with RBCs as well as enlarged foamy hepatocytes with mononuclear cells in narrowing sinusoids were seen.Conclusion: From the results of this study we c...

Research paper thumbnail of Study the Effect of Rubia Cordifolia Extract on Different Type of Cancer Cell Lines and Different Microbial

It was mainly used as a red pigment, R. Cordifolia can be used for the management of jaundice in Ayurvedic medicine., inflammation of the joints, and cough. R. Cordifolia is becoming increasingly popular in western culture as an alternative treatment for skin disease such as psoriasis, eczema and dermatitis. Past studies have also shown R. Cordifolia is a promising regulator of the spread of breast cancer cells.This research aims to find a solution to conditions such as cancer and multi-drug resistant bacteria that are difficult to treat and fungi by using R.Cordifolia aqueous root extract. Methods used in this inquiry to assess the antimicrobial and anticancer effects of low concentration R. cordifolia aqueous extracts were MTT assay on three cancer cell lines (HepG2, BxPC-3 and MCF-7) and the minimum inhibitory concentrati...

Research paper thumbnail of Comparison between patients with thyroid follicular tumors in the histological pattern and size of follicular lesion

Differential between follicular thyroid cancer (FTC) and benign follicular thyroid adenoma (FTA) is a great challenge for even an experienced pathologist and requires special effort. A total of 120 paraffin block were included in the study, 30 blocks were (FC), 30 blocks were (FVPC). 30 blocks were (FA), 30 blocks were blocks thyroid follicular hyperplasia.20 blocks endocervical epithelium.20 paraffin blocks of colonic epithelium as control. From each paraffin block, 4 slides, each of thicken were taken, stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) for revision of histopathological diagnosis. The histological arrangement in follicular carcinoma and follicular adenoma was significant (P= 0.001) in trabecular pattern and the difference was significant (P= 0.016) in mixed pattern while no significance with microfollicular, macrofollicular and normofollicular pattern in both f...
