the effects of aluminium and aluminium-citrate on some serum parameters related to carbohydrate metabolism in male wistar rats were investigated. daily intraperitoneal administrations of 1 mg/kg body weight of aluminium or aluminiumcitrate (1: 1) for 50 days led to the elevation of serum insulin by 24 or 40 percent respectively, with the concomitant decrease in serum glucose concentrations by 1...

PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES To review the dose titration, efficacy, and safety of oral transmucosal fentanyl citrate (OTFC). DATA SOURCES Phase I and II clinical trial abstracts and evidence-based review articles. DATA SYNTHESIS OTFC has an onset, peak, and duration of action similar to that of an IV dose of an opioid and has been demonstrated to be effective and well tolerated for the management of...

(2006) and Sahin et al. (2004) is not correct. Khorram et al. randomized patients between metformin plus clomiphene and clomiphene alone. Metformin was started in the same cycle as was clomiphene. Sahin et al. did treat the patients with metformin 3 months prior to administrating clomiphene, but all patients also received clomiphene, which also makes the comparison justifiable. Both these studi...

Mixed Mg-Mn ferrites of compositions Mg0.9 Mn0.1 Inx Fe2-x O4 and Mg0.9 Mn0.1 Aly Fe2-y O4 have been synthesized by the citrate precursor technique. The X-ray diffraction patterns of the samples confirmed the formation of single-phase spinel structure. The ferrites have been investigated for their electric and dielectric properties. The dc resistivity and Curie temperature were found to be incr...

aceclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (nsaid) that exhibits analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory activities. it is practically insoluble in water. the effect of hydrotropes such as urea and sodium citrate and blends (urea + sodium citrate) on the solubility of aceclofenac was investigated. the enhancement in the solubility of aceclofenac was more than 5 and 25 folds in 3...

BACKGROUND Catheter-related infections are a major problem for hemodialysis patients with central venous catheters for vascular access. Catheter lock solutions containing an anticoagulant are used to maintain the patency of the catheter between hemodialysis sessions. There is evidence that the use of lock solutions containing an antibiotic is associated with lower rates of infection but also th...

BACKGROUND Sildenafil citrate may increase endometrial thickness and affect the outcome of frozen-thawed embryo transfer cycles. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to estimate the effect of sildenafil citrate on ultrasonographic endometrial thickness and pattern and to investigate the estrogen level on the day of progesterone administration, the implantation rate and chemical pregnancy rate ...

Bismuth titanate is a lead-free piezoelectric ceramic with outstanding properties that strictly depend on the composition and microstructure. However, bismuth-based materials are difficult to synthesize due bismuth volatilisation causes secondary phases stoichiometry deviations. In this work, we propose low-temperature chemical route, i.e. modified amorphous citrate method, allows reduction of ...
