In neuro-rehabilitation, sleep may be of utmost importance. Sleep disruption may also make recovery and stroke outcomes worse. As separate, modifiable risk factors for cerebrovascular stroke, sleep disorders are becoming more well-acknowledged. Aim: To assess the pattern of post-stroke sleep disorders among Egyptian patients. Subjects and Methods: The Suez Canal University hospital's neurology and psychiatry outpatient clinics conducted this case-control research on 43 stroke patients who had experienced a stroke during the previous three months (the Patient Group) and 43 healthy persons (Control Group). The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), which was also used to evaluate the quality and pattern of sleep, was used to make the diagnosis of sleep disorders based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-5) criteria. Results: Regarding Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and Parasomnias, there were statistically significant differences between the two groups (p 0.002 & 0.001, respectively). The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) total score showed a significant difference between the two groups, with stroke patients having a higher percentage of poor sleepers (score >5). Conclusion: Significant links exist between sleep problems and stroke. Stroke has been shown to decrease sleep quality and increase the incidence of parasomnias and obstructive sleep apnea.","PeriodicalId":407231,"journal":{"name":"Suez Canal University Medical Journal","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131443283","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}

Nanoparticles can reach the target easily without inactivation, increase the bioavailability of the therapy and reduce its toxicity. Aim: To evaluate the protective effect of silymarin and nano-encapsulation of Ginger extract on hepatotoxicity in adult male albino rats. Materials and Methods: Eighty rats were randomized into eight groups (10 rats each). Group I (control): subdivided into 3 control subgroups; Group II: rats received nano-encapsulation of ginger extract 50 mg/kg/day by oral gavage every day. Group III: rats received 0.1 ml/100 gm/kg of Ccl 4 dissolved in corn oil (1:1) twice a week by intraperitoneal injection. Group IV: Silymarin was given in a dose of 200 mg/kg/day dissolved in one ml distilled water by oral gavage every day with Ccl 4 . Group V: nano-encapsulation of ginger 50 mg/kg/day by oral gavage every day Ccl 4 . Group VI: the doses were administrated as in groups II, III &IV for six weeks in all groups. At the end of the experiment, rats were anesthetized, blood samples collected for ALT and AST measurement then sacrificed and the liver was excised, for SOD, H&E, and histoimmunological studies. Results: Ccl4-in-duced hepatotoxicity can be protected by silymarin or/and nano-encapsulation of ginger that showed more improvement than silymarin in histopathological and immunohistochemical, morphometric, SOD, ALT, and AST results. Conclusion: The study found that hepatotoxicity can be protected by the administration of silymarin or/and nano-encapsulation of ginger extract. Nano-encapsulation of the ginger extract showed more improvement than silymarin.","PeriodicalId":407231,"journal":{"name":"Suez Canal University Medical Journal","volume":"95 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126147966","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}
