Estimating the succession period of a carcass, or the so-called postmortem interval, is a topic that has occupied forensic arthropodologists since the nineteenth century. Arthropods are considered one of the main invertebrates for accessing and colonizing cadavers. The present study aimed to identify the arthropod succession in indoor rat carcasses. The current study considered the link between the developmental larval stages of arthropods and the postmortem interval. Fifteen female Wistar rats ( Rattus norvegicus ) were equally allotted into three experimental models based on their manner of death: group “1” (control, killing by head dislocation), group “2” (killing by drowning), and group “3” (killing by slaughtering). The abundance of related arthropods did not differ greatly between the control and the drowning groups, but there are clear differences between the two groups in the carrion's shape and color. The slaughtered group showed a large difference in the abundance of related arthropods from groups “1 and 2”. This study reported 16 invertebrates’ taxa belonging to 13

Knowledge about the possibility of chemotherapy during pregnancy is increasing. Oxaliplatin, a third-generation of platinum drug, is the main agent for treatment of many cancers. It causes abnormal changes in the cells of the vital organs, especially those responsible for detoxification such as the liver. The present study focused on the evaluation of the possible alleviative role of propolis against the hepato-toxicity induced by oxaliplatin in the rats’ mothers before and during the period of pregnancy, and their offspring. A total of 35 adult female albino Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into seven groups (n=5). Group "1" (the control group) received distilled water during the experimental period. Group "2" received a daily oral dose of propolis 200 mg/kg body weight (bw), group "3" received an intravenous dose of 3 mg/kg bw of oxaliplatin three times per week, and group "4" received oxaliplatin with propolis in a combination for 21 days before pregnancy. Similarly, groups 5-7 received the same treatment and doses as groups 2-4, respectively, during the period of pregnancy. The results of the current study demonstrated that the oxaliplatin treatment before and after pregnancy induced degeneration and fibrosis in the maternal and fetal liver tissues. Nevertheless, the results demonstrated that the combined administration of oxaliplatin with propolis alleviated the hepatotoxicity associated with oxaliplatin treatment either before or during pregnancy, indicating the promising potential role of propolis as anti-toxic of natural origin.

The results of the current study showed that – as compared to the OXA-induced renal and splenic toxicity in maternal rats and their neonates – co-administration of PRO with OXA either prior or during pregnancy conferred a crucial protective role to overwhelm the OXA-induced histopathological alterations in the renal and spleen tissues.
