A Comprehensive Review on the Role of Antacids in the Management of Stomach Disorders
Abstract: Antacids are among the most widely used over-the-counter medications for the symptomatic management of acid-related gastrointestinal disorders, including dyspepsia, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), gastritis, and peptic ulcer disease. These agents provide rapid relief by neutralizing gastric hydrochloric acid, thereby increasing intragastric pH and reducing mucosal irritation. In addition to their therapeutic benefits, the long-term and excessive use of antacids may be associated with adverse effects and toxicological concerns, including electrolyte …

Role of Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) on Survival of Free Ranging Birds: A Review
Abstract: The PCB contaminant levels reported in tissues individuals are not likely to have an impact on the demographic performance of the birds as a whole. However, the residues may reach levels causing decreased reproduction or survival in some years, particularly when combined with other non-anthropogenic stressors such as food scarcity. In addition, the birds normally would have more exposure to the contaminants due to their position in the food chain. …
