This study investigates the cyclic behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) frames infilled with autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) blocks—a novel and environmentally friendly material—compared to traditional clay masonry infill commonly used in Egypt. In addition, the RC frames were reinforced with an advanced type of reinforcing steel designed to enhance seismic resistance. Three 2/3-scale RC frames were experimentally tested und...

Objective Brain injury and neurodegenerative conditions are largely caused by oxidative damage and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress spurred on by hyperlipidemia. To lessen these consequences in the brains of hyperlipidemic rats, this study assesses the therapeutic potential of both rosuvastatin glycerosomes (RSV GLSMs) and niacin. Methods The study had five groups: control, hyperlipidemia induced by poloxamer 407 (P407), RSV...

Ursolic Acid (UA), a naturally occurring pentacyclic triterpene, was isolated from Ochrosia elliptica . Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) a prevalent endocrine disorder characterized by hyperandrogenism, insulin resistance, and chronic inflammation. In this study, we investigate the role of UA in alleviating the symptoms of PCOS, focusing on its biochemical, hormonal, and histopathological effects in a rat model. Using adult fe...

Pimenta racemosa ( P. racemosa ) tree leaves are used in traditional medicine to alleviate flatulence and gastrointestinal disorders. Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a gastrointestinal inflammatory disease with well-known inflammatory and immunoregulatory pathological features. The complexity of the disease requires multi-targeted treatment. Because of their relative safety and effectiveness, natural products can be utilized as adj...
