Background and Objectives: The present study was conducted to evaluate the presence of biochemical contents and trace elements, and detect phytochemicals in the edible part extracts of Asparagus officinalis DC and Chlorophytum comosum Linn by HPTLC. Materials and Methods: The biochemical contents and trace elements were determined by different biochemical methods, and trace elements’ presence ...

Anti gastric ulcer activity of root, stem and leaves of Amaranthus spinosus Linn. was studied against ethanol, hydrochloric acid, indomethacin, stress and pyloric ligation induced gastric ulceration in albino rats. Omeprazole was used as standard anti gastric ulcer drug. Significant anti gastric ulcer activity was noted in root, stem and leaves of Amaranthus spinosus Linn. Root of the plant, ho...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Cassia fistula is widely used in traditional medicine to treat various types of ailments. The evaluation of toxic properties of C. fistula is crucial when considering public health protection because exposure to plant extracts can result in undesirable effects on consumers. Hence, in this study the acute oral toxicity of C. fistula seeds extract was investigated in mice...

Background: In infants with esophageal atresia/tracheoesophageal fistula, excessive salivation, coughing, choking, cyanosis, and regurgitation associated attempts to eat may be seen, as well aspiration of gastric contents. Thus difficulties encountered during anesthetic management include ineffective ventilation due an endotracheal tube placed in the massive dilatation, preexisting severe lung ...

New approaches to teaching introductory computer science are sorely needed. Current instruction in programming has been shown to result in relatively poor understanding of the programming language under study, little development of problem solving skills, and little progress toward the central issues of analysis and design (e. g., Dalbey & Linn, 1985; Gorman & Bourne, 1983; Kurland, Pea, Clemen...

AIM To analyze the risk factors of postoperative pancreatic fistula following pancreaticoduodenectomy in a Thai tertiary care center. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 179 patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy at our hospital from January 2001 to December 2016. Pancreatic fistula were classified into three categories according to a definition made by an International Study Group on...

One new sulfated saponin 3β,23,30-trihydroxyurs-20-en-28-al-23-sulfate 3-O-β-D-xylopyranoside (Zygofaboside C; 1) was purified from the water soluble fraction of ethanolic extract of the aerial parts of Zygophyllum fabago Linn. The structure of the compound was elucidated through spectral studies, especially 1Dand 2D-NMR, HR-FAB mass spectrometry, and comparison with literature data.
