Formulation, Development and Evaluation of Oral Thin Film of Metoclopramide Hydrochloride
Abstract: Metoclopramide Hydrochloride, an anti-emetic drug is indicated for the patients with diabetic gastroparesis and Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD). It is difficult for a patient to swallow a tablet during emesis. So, an attempt was made to develop a patient-friendly orally dissolving film using clove oil and menthol as flavoring agents, aspartame as sweetener, polyvinyl alcohol and glycerol as film forming agent and plasticizer respectively. Based on appearance and palatability …

Cyclooxygenase 3 Inhibition: A Probable Mechanism of Acetaminophen in Human: A Review
Abstract: The key rate-limiting step in prostanoid and thromboxane biosynthesis is catalyzed by Cyclooxygenases (COXs) and is the target of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Until recently, the existence of only two isoforms: COX-1 and COX-2; remained under debate as the anti-pyretic and analgesic property of acetaminophen (paracetamol) could not be explained by mere COX-1 or COX-2 blockades. A novel COX-1 splice variant termed COX-3, sensitive to acetaminophen, was recently discovered in …

The Mechanism of Regulation of Chemolithotrophic Sulfur Oxidation in Pseudaminobacter salicylatoxidans KCT001
Abstract: Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Although the mode of repression of the sulfur oxidation (sox) operon has been elucidated in recent times the mechanism of its derepression is not yet known. Here we propose a comprehensive mechanism of sox gene expression by envisaging redox modulation of soxR as the key to the repression as well as derepression of sox-mediated thiosulfate oxidation Pseudaminobacter salicylatoxidans KCT001. While soxR, rendered to its …

Fluconazole Resistance among Candida species Causing Vulvovaginitis
Abstract: Yeasts have emerged as a prominent cause of vaginal infections in community and hospitalized patients. Majority of cases of Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) are caused by Candida albicans however, episodes due to non-albicans Candida appear to be increasing in the recent years leading to increase medical concern. Most non-albicans Candida species have higher minimum-inhibitory concentration (MIC) to fluconazole and infections caused by these species are often difficult to treat. This study …

Assessment of Microbial Quality of Irrigated Cabbage with Wastewater in Laelay Maychew and Tahtay Maychew Woreda’s of Aksum, Tigrai, North Ethiopia
Abstract: Wastewater can be defined as water that has been badly affected in quality by anthropogenic effect and the possible origin can be from domestic, industrial, commercial or agricultural activities, surface run off or storm water and from drain inflow or infiltration. Quality of water and other food can be checked by the presence of Coliform bacteria because these bacteria are the predominant indicators. The purpose of this study was to …

Transonic Flow Past Conically Cambered Wings
Abstract: The flow is analysed over conically cambered wings for transonic flow conditions. Wing Planform is conically cambered for supersonic flow for minimum induced drag. The circulation to determine the forces is developed using panel methods. Objective function for drag minima is formed using Lagrange multipliers. The transonic flow computations are progressed through computational fluid dynamics. In case of a subsonic leading edge in supersonic flow there is no shock wave …

Renewable Immunity: A Support to Humanity
Abstract: The “survival to the fittest” paradigm is invariably weighted w.r.t. competitiveness. This fitness is therefore constantly interacting both with the living races, and the dynamic nature, more than living –albeit in a complex way. While the former appear to tame nature, the fact is that latter demonstrates the superiority from time to time, in which the former attempt to truce with. The latter quality is called immunity especially when it …

Chemotaxis: role in egg-sperm interaction and its evaluation
Abstract: Communication between spermatozoa and egg before contact by chemotaxis is prevalent throughout the animal kingdom. In most animal species, the prospects of the spermatozoa coming in contact with eggs are very slim in the absence of some guidance mechanism usually chemical in nature that has been acquired gradually. Such chemical guidance, sperm chemotaxis, is now recognized in many marine invertebrates, fish, amphibians, and a few mammals including humans. This suggests …

Probiotics: A New Concept In Prophylaxis
Abstract: Foods that have health benefits beyond the traditional nutrients possessed by them are called functional foods or nutraceuticals. These are generally characterized as foods similar in appearance to conventional foods, consumed as part of usual diets and elicit health benefits beyond meeting the basic nutritional requirements. Functional foods reduce risk of diseases but they do not act as a vehicle to address deficiency. They are a source of mental and …
