Popliteal or otherwise called Baker’s cyst represents a fluid distension of the gastrocnemiosemimembranosus bursa and is usually incidentally found on imaging studies. However, the clinical manifestation of symptomatic Baker’s cyst is similar to thrombophlebitis hence the term pseudothrombophlebitis syndrome. We add to the literature a case of a partially ruptured popliteal cyst in which locall...

The effects of 1 gold salt, of betamethasone, and of acetylsalicylate on the chemotaxis of human neutrophils were compared in normal volunteers by means of a modified Boyden chamber. The gold salt inhibited chemotaxis by reducing both cell migration capacity and the capacity of plasma to attract the cell. Betamethasone reduced cell migration capacity, but not the chemoattractant capacity of pla...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most common causes of keratitis. The current study was done to evaluate the therapeutic effects of antibacterial combinations with Silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) and Ciprofloxacin in experimental Pseudomonas keratitis. Sixty four New Zealand rabbits were prepared. All rabbits were randomly categorized into eight groups (each group containing eight rabbits): C...

Treatment of ulcerative colitis with betamethasone phosphate enemas was found to cause suppression of the adrenal cortex, so that absorption of betamethasone from the rectum can be inferred; no suppression occurred in similar patients treated with prednisolone phosphate enemas (Matts, Wharton, Kelleher, and Walters, 1963). In order to determine whether any rectal absorption of prednisolone does...

CLINICAL CASES The pinguecula is a degenerative lesion which is usually asymptomatic, except when it is associated with an inflammatory reaction. We present 2 clinical cases of patients that had symptomatic pinguecula, in which intra-lesional betamethasone in depot form was used as treatment, obtaining a significant clinical improvement. DISCUSSION The administration of intra-lesional betamet...

in the present study, the effect of steroidal anti-inflammatory drug betamethasone (0.12, 0.24 mg/kg, i.p. acutely) on striatal glutamate level in parkinsonian rats was studied using the microdialysis technique. our results showed significant differences (p<0.05) in the level of striatal glutamate between treated and non-treated damaged rats.

Testicular torsion is a consequence of spermatic cord twisting which causes progressive damage to the structure of the testis and reduces sperm quality and usually results in infertility. In the present study, with the assumption of the protective effects of L-carnitine and betamethasone against ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injuries, their effects on twisted testicles were evaluated and compared. ...

A simple, specific, accurate and precise spectrophotometric method was developed validated for simultaneous estimation of Betamethasone Luliconazole in Synthetic Mixture. The wavelength 243.20 nm 225.00 nm. Beer’s law is obeyed the concentration range 10-50μg/ml 20-100μg/ml correlation coefficient 0.999 respectively. % recovery were found to be 100.49 &amp; - 100.68 Intraday precision 0.10 %– 0...

BACKGROUND Fluoroscopically guided transforaminal epidural steroid injections (FG-TFESIs) have been shown to provide both immediate and long-term improvement in patient's self-reported pain. Administration of the lowest possible dose of epidural betamethasone is desired to minimize side effects while maintaining efficacy. We hypothesize that a 3 mg or a 6 mg dose of betamethasone will demonstra...

Objective: The study’s main aim was to demonstrate the efficacy of antenatal corticosteroids (betamethasone) prevent respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) and other related complications in premature babies study outcomes neonates whose mothers received during period. Methods: A total 50 pregnant women with a risk preterm delivery admitted labor ward Prathima Institute Medical Sciences were inclu...
