Urtica pilulifera l. seeds extracts (Decocted and Methanolic extracts) have anti-inflammatory effects. In an experimental-interventional study, Anti-inflammatory effects of Urtica pilulifera l. (UPL), a Traditional Iranian Medicine (TIM) plant, were examined with formalin-induced hind paw edema model in the rat. Sodium salicylate (S.S) injection (300 mg/kg; IP) was used as a positive control gr...

BACKGROUND Liver fibrosis a complex process of excess collagen deposition resulted in disturbance of hepatic cellar function. Glycosides based standardized fenugreek seed extract (SFSE-G) has potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-fibrotic properties. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to evaluate the hepatoprotective potential of SFSE-G against bleomycin (BLM)-induced liver fibrosis...

The aim of these experiments was to apply magnesium (50 and 100 mg Mg kg soil) to neutralise the potentially negative effects of soil contamination by cadmium (10, 20, 30 and 40 mg Cd kg soil) on the number of some groups of microorganisms. Another objective was to determine the relationship between the number of these microorganisms relative to yield of yellow lupine and some physicochemical p...

Background: Herbal medical compounds and their major constituent have been used in the management and treatment of opioid withdrawal syndrome and pain. This study was carried out to clarify the effect of curcumin, the major compound of turmeric, on morphine withdrawal syndrome in mouse model and its possible mechanisms of pain relieving activity by assessing in writhing test as a model of visce...

INTRODUCTION Critically ill patients are predisposed to venous thromboembolism. We hypothesized that higher doses of enoxaparin would improve thromboprophylaxis without increasing the risk of bleeding. Peak anti-factor Xa (anti-Xa) levels of 0.1 to 0.4 IU/ml reflect adequate thromboprophylaxis for general ward patients. Studies conducted in orthopaedic patients demonstrated a statistically sign...

background myocardial injury caused by ischemia-reperfusion leads to cardiac dysfunction, tissue injury and metabolic changes. the production of reactive oxygen species (ros) and lipid peroxidation are accompanied by ischemia-reperfusion injury. objectives the aim of this study was to assess the cardio protective potential effects of crocin in comparison with vitamin e on antioxidant capacity i...

The propofol requirements for the induction and maintenance of anaesthesia were compared in groups of younger and older patients. Side effects, influence on the cardiovascular system and recovery times were compared between 20 unpremedicated ASA I-III, 25-40-yr-old patients and 20 65-80-yr-old patients all scheduled to undergo elective surgery. After induction with propofol, anaesthesia was mai...

1. Metamizole (synonym: dipyrone) is a pyrazolone non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). In veterinary medicine it is available as a mono-preparation containing 500 mg/ml metamizolesodium. There are also combination products containing 500 mg/ml metamizole + 4 mg/ml of an antispasmodic agent such as butylscopolaminium bromide.
