The effects of autonomic nervous system by head-out water immersion at thermoneutral temperature will also influence the standing posture control. This study aimed to compare variations in posture control ability after standing from the water immersion at thermoneutral temperatures for healthy young Japanese adults. The healthy male college students (n=5) participated in this study. The body co...

Oxygen is known to partition with an increasing concentration gradient toward the hydrophobic membrane interior. At partial pressures (P(O2)) of 100 Atm or more, this concentration gradient is sufficient to induce paramagnetic effects that depend sensitively on membrane immersion depth. This effect is demonstrated for the fluorine nucleus by depth-dependent paramagnetic shifts and spin-lattice ...

Background. Elaeocarpus serratus L. (Family: Elaeocarpaceae) is a tropical fruit tree, traditionally used in the treatments of poisoning, diarrhea, arthritis, and other diseases. Objectives. The current study was performed to conduct analgesic, antidiarrheal, hypoglycemic activity E. mice model using methanolic bark crude extract. Methods. To assess peripheral central analgesic activity, acetic...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The study's objective was to determine whether participation in an international health rotation in a Spanish-speaking country (immersion) is associated with improved Spanish fluency compared to participation in domestic medical Spanish coursework alone. METHODS Participants matriculated at one US medical school in the years 2004--2008. At matriculation (baseline), a...

The rhizome of Canna indica L. (family: Cannaceae) was extracted in methanol and two doses- 200 400 mg/kg body weight the extract were employed to reveal central peripheral analgesic, hypoglycemic antidiarrheal properties vivo. According tail immersion technique, both doses significantly rose time latent response for 90 minutes compared control mice group assessing analgesia. Acetic acid-induce...

BACKGROUND Oxidative stress and analgesia are connected with different pathological conditions. The drug candidates from synthetic sources are associated with various side effects; therefore, researchers are giving priority to find novel, effective and safe phytomedicines. Teucrium species possesses antioxidant, analgesic, anti-inflammatory and hepatoprotective activities. The essential oils of...

BACKGROUND Despite availability of a substantial number of potent synthetic drugs, medicinal plants are still playing a key role in the discovery of novel and effective drug molecules. Numerous researchers are focusing on the plant based medicines due to its strong safety profiles. Teucrium species exhibit profound antidiabetic, analgesic and spasmolytic activities. The methanolic extract and e...

OBJECTIVE: To assess whether ice-water immersion or cold-water immersion is the more effective treatment for rapidly cooling hyperthermic runners. DESIGN AND SETTING: 17 heat-acclimated highly trained distance runners (age = 28 +/- 2 years, height = 180 +/- 2 cm, weight = 68.5 +/- 2.1 kg, body fat = 11.2 +/- 1.3%, training volume = 89 +/- 10 km/wk) completed a hilly trail run (approximately 19 ...

A series of thiazolidin-4-one (2a–h; 3a–h), azetidin-2-one (4a–h) and 1,3,4-oxadiazole (5a–h) derivatives of isoninicotinic acid hydrazide (INH) were synthesized in order to obtain new compounds with potential anti-inflammatory, analgesic, ulcerogenic and lipid peroxidation activities. The structures of the new compounds were supported by their IR, 1H-NMR and mass spectral data. All compounds w...
