INTRODUCTION Melatonin has been studied in headache disorders. Amitriptyline is efficacious for migraine prevention, but its unfavourable side effect profile limits its use. METHODS A randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was carried out. Men and women, aged 18-65 years, with migraine with or without aura, experiencing 2-8 attacks per month, were enrolled. After a 4-week baseline...

Bel The dehydrogenation of ethane to ethene on Sn-promoted Pt supported on calcined hydrotalcite, PtSn/ Mg(Al)O, was investigated with the aim of understanding the effects of Sn on the local environment of the dispersed Pt, ...

Crystallization of diamond in the Mg-Si-C system has been studied at 7.5 GPa and 1800 ◦C with the Mg-Si compositions spanning the range from Mg-C to Si-C end-systems. It is found that as Si content of the system increases from 0 to 2 wt %, the degree of the graphite-to-diamond conversion increases from about 50 to 100% and remains at about this level up to 20 wt % Si. A further increase in Si c...

Recovery from Mg deficiency was studied in adult Wistar rats fed a semisynthetic diet containing 0.04% Mg in the form of magnesium carbonate. Daily administration of a diet containing recommended levels of calcium carbonate to Mg-deficient rats led to the recovery, within the first seven days of treatment, of normal values in most of the parameters studied: gain in weight/day, and Mg retention ...

fundamental understanding of the goaf gas distribution in a gassy coal mine is necessary for developing effective goaf gas drainage strategies in the longwall coal mine. the goaf gas was subjected to the surface and body forces that were classified depending upon whether they acted on the surface area or the volume of the gas element. of these forces, the body forces were more predominant in di...

a novel and safe method for nitration of phenols, anilines and other aromatic compounds has beenfound to be feasible with alumina sulfuric acid (asa) as catalyst and mg (no3)2.6h2o as nitrating agent inneat water as solvent. the use of water makes this method compatible with the green chemistry approach

introduction: to assess the salivary composition of proteins and minerals in smokers compared with non-smokers.   materials and methods: in this study we compared the total protein and ca, na, k, mg, pb of whole saliva in two groups of men (28 smokers and 31nonsmokers) aged between 29-41years.   results: fifty-nine participants were evaluated. the mean age was 33.14±5.32 years among smokers and...
