The study was carried out to:
1. measure the leptin level in addition to other hormones that affect growth in patients with beta - Thalassemia major and compare them with those of normal individuals of the same age group.
2. look fo any association between physical growth and pubertal development with the level of leptin.
Tribulus terrestris ( Qutiba) was recently shown to have some antiurolithiatic activity. In the present study, we evaluated the effect of the aqueous extract of this plant on the in vitro dissolution of different types of renal stones.
An in vitro model for the study of the effect chemicals, plant extracts or drugs on urolithiasis was established....
