...Show More Authors

Abstract

Background: anabolic androgenic steroids (AASs) are becoming increasingly popular between bodybuilders and people who want to enhance their physiques. However, according to the rise of the Internet and laws prohibiting sales of these substances without prescription, the route of obtaining and administration practices have become more and more dangerous.

Objective: Anabolic-androgenic steroids represents a group of synthetic testosterone derivatives its play an important role in clinical treatment. These group of drugs are widely abused among the general public to increase lean body weight and improve athletic performance. It has been reported that AAS use can cause many adverse effects. Although there are many related studies, the current study was to review the effect of AAS on serum levels of LH, FSH, prolactin, free testosterone, ALT, AST, T3, T4, TSH, haemoglobin and platelet in bodybuilders using these hormones and compare the results with control group.

Method: A 50 body builders were using gym routinely and were using AASs for at least 2 months interviewed and collect blood sample to measure certain lab data and see the effects of AAS on these lab data and compare results with control group who were using gym routinely but never use AAS before.

Results: The levels of eight parameters were significantly (P-value< 0.05) different according to the participating groups (AAS users vs control): LH, FSH, Prolactin, ALT, T3, TSH, haemoglobin and platelets. Five of the measured parameters were significantly (P-value< 0.05) lower in the group of AAS users compared to the control (non-user) group: LH, FSH, T3, TSH, and platelets. In contrast, the other three parameters (prolactin, ALT and haemoglobin) were significantly (P-value< 0.05) higher in the AAS user group compared to control group.

Conclusion:  the anabolic androgenic steroids had a harmful effect on multi physiological functions leading to hormonal disturbances.

Abstract

 

Theoretical and experimental methodologies were assessed to test curved beam made of layered   composite material. The maximum stress and maximum deflection were computed for each layer and the effect of radius of curvature and curve shape on them. Because of the increase of the use of composite materials in aircraft structures and the renewed interest in these types of problems, the presented theoretical assessment was made using three different approaches: curved beam theory and an approximate 2D strength of material equations and finite element method (FEM) analysis by ANSYS 14.5 program for twelve cases of multi-layered cylindrical shell panel differs in fibe

Detection of JAK2V617F Mutation and Serum Levels of Alkaline Phosphatase and Lactate Dehydrogenase in Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia.
...Show More Authors

Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative neoplasm arises from Bcr-Abl gene translocation (called Ph chromosome) in hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). This genetic abnormality results in constitutive activation of tyrosine kinase and subsequent uncontrol growth and multiplication of granulocytes. The cornerstone in treatment of CML are tyrosine kinase inhibitors, of which imatinib is the most effectively used. JAK2V617F mutation is an acquired single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) occurs in JAK2 gene and is associated with many hematological malignancy other than CML. It was thought that the two genetic abnormalities (Bcr-Abl and JAK2V617F) occur mutually; however, growing body of evidences suggested the reverse. This study a
