Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs have been clearly shown to increase the chances of peptic ulcer and its complications. Risk factors associated with this propensity are as yet poorly and inconsistently defined. Clinicians have long accepted that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) treatment may cause peptic ulcer and its complications. In assessing the chances it is necessary to d...

Department of Biological Sciences, University of Waikato, Private Bag 3105, Hamilton, New Zealand Introduction Honey is gaining acceptance by the medical profession for use as an antibacterial agent for the treatment of ulcers and bed sores, and other surface infections resulting from burns and wounds 4,135 . In many cases it is being used with success on infections not responding to standard a...

background: escherichia coli o157:h7 is a gram-negative and facultative anaerobic food-borne bacterial pathogen. the major purpose of this study was to evaluate physicochemical characteristics of nanoliposome garlic essential oil (eo) and its antibacterial effect on e. coli o157:h7. methods: nanoliposome garlic eo was prepared by ethanol injection method and its physicochemical properties were ...

BACTERIAL KERATITIS Simple, uninfected cases of corneal ulceration can be treated with prophylactic antibiotics, mydriatics and systemic antiinflammatory agents. However, aggressive medical therapy is indicated in all cases of confirmed or suspected bacterial keratitis. This includes topical and systemic antimicrobial drugs, mydriatics and antiproteases, and sysemic non-steroidal antiinflammato...

A series of six novel benzimidazole-pyrazole hybrid molecules was synthesized and characterized using elemental analysis (CHN) and spectroscopic methods (1HNMR, FT-IR). All the synthesized compounds were evaluated for their in vivo anti ulcerogenic activity using Albino rats (weighing 180-220 g). The interactions between the compounds and active site residues of H+/K+ ATPase were investigated b...

Peptic ulcer disease is a multifactorial and complex disease involving gastric and duodenal ulcers. Despite medical advances, the management of peptic ulcer and its complications remains a challenge, with high morbidity and death rates for the disease. An accumulating body of evidence suggests that, among a broad reach of natural molecules, dietary polyphenols with multiple biological mechanism...

the aim of the study was to study the anti-ulcer activity of the methanolic extract of the leaves of capparis zeylanica linn on experimental animal models. the methanol extract of capparis zeylanica linn. leaves was investigated for anti-ulcer activity against aspirin plus pylorus ligation induced gastric ulcer in rats. hcl-ethanol induced ulcer in mice and indomethacin induced ulcer in rats at...

BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus is an independent risk factor for impaired healing of peptic ulcers, and there are currently no supplementary therapeutics other than the standard antipeptic medicine to improve the ulcer healing in diabetes. This study examined the potential pleiotropic effect of a glucagon-like peptide (Glp)-1 analogue exendin (Ex)-4 on the regeneration of gastric ulcer in strepto...

Objective: Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn. (Nymphaeceae) is a well known aquatic herb which has been extensively used traditionally for the treatment of different diseases. Therefore present study was designed to evaluate the anti-ulcer activity of methanolic extract of Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn. (Nymphaeceae) stalks. Methods: Anti-ulcer activity of methanolic extract of Nelumbo nucifera (100 mg/kg and ...
