There was a favorable connection between the occurrence of GERD and cardiac arrhythmia when all correlates were adjusted. The intercept (constant) in the final model after controlling for all correlates was 15.81, and four correlates, positive diabetes history, smokers, and patients with S-T segment depression/arrhythmia, were found as independent predictors of reflux episode number.","PeriodicalId":261891,"journal":{"name":"Afro-Egyptian Journal of Infectious and Endemic Diseases","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115460887","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The therapeutic impacts of drugs were assessed using; parasitological, histopathological and immunological approaches. Results: The study showed that the vitamin D3nitazoxanide combination induced a significant reduction in the parasitic load in the brain sections of the infected mice. We have also reported a delicate balance in the overall immune response against the parasite after using the drug combination. It was noted that vitamin D3, used alone, did not significantly reduce the parasitic load despite the notable improvement in the degree of inflammatory infiltration.","PeriodicalId":261891,"journal":{"name":"Afro-Egyptian Journal of Infectious and Endemic Diseases","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130219497","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
