Studies in animal models and humans have shown that chlorpyrifos (CPF) causes sensorimotor and cognitive changes. Apart from inhibiting acetylcholinesterase (AChE), the induction of oxidative stress is one of the other molecular mechanisms implicated in OP-evoked toxicity. The present study evaluated the alleviating effect of Phyllanthus niruri, a flavonoid rich plant, on subacute CPF-evoked se…
Adverse event studies of favipiravir used to treat COVID-19 have been ongoing since it was established as a treatment option. A better understanding of the side effects of favipiravir from recent studies is important for developing and assessing the introduction of effective treatments for COVID-19
There are limited data comparing the clinical outcomes between telbivudine and entecavir. We consecutively enrolled 115 telbivudine-naive and 115 entecavir-naive chronic hepatitis B patients, who were matched for age, sex, hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) status and cirrhosis, and treated for at least 2 years or less than 2 years but had developed resistance. Except for the rate of HBeAg seroconve…
The aim of this cohort study was to retrospectively evaluate, in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF), the long term effect of trimetazidine (TMZ) on morbidity and mortality
Twelve volunteers received 300 mg of clindamycin intravenously (i.v.) or orally (p.o.) administered every 8 h (q8h) or q12h by random assignment over four study periods. Serum bactericidal titers were determined for each regimen against two isolates each of Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae (one penicillinsensitive isolate and one penicillin-resistant isolate), and Bacteroides fra…
Most common urinary tract pathogen in females (reproductive age group) is E. coli and amikacin is the most effective drug. It is suggested that females should be regularly checked and examined by visiting the clinicians. They should be promptly treated after the proper investigations
The Mortality and various morbidity rates have been substantially reduced by means of exofenous replacement, the cornerstoe in the treatment of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in premature infants
The cofactor of mitochondrial dehydrogenase complexes and potent antioxidant a-lipoic acid has been shown to lower blood glucose in diabetic animals. a-Lipoic acid enhances glucose uptake and GLUT1 and GLUT4 translocation in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and L6 myotubes, mimicking insulin action.
It remains uncertain whether the choice of resuscitation fluid for patients in intensive care units (ICUs) affects survival. We conducted a multicenter, randomized, double-blind trial to compare the effect of fluid resuscitation with albumin or saline on mortality in a heterogeneous population of patients in the ICU.
