Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is a major neurotransmitter and CGRP-containing primary sensory neurons play an important role in nociception and potent vasodilation. CGRP-containing nerves in mesenteric arteries are decreased in pathological animal models (hypertension, diabetes, and atherosclerosis). In apolipoprotein E–knockout mice, which have atherosclerosis and peripheral sen...

The free –COOH present in NSAIDs is thought to be responsible for the GI irritation associated with all traditional NSAIDs. Exploitation of mutual prodrugs is an approach wherein the NSAID is covalently bounded to a second pharmacologically active carrier/drug with the ultimate aim of reducing the gastric irritation. In this study some NSAIDs were conjugated with gabapentin via ester bond...

Bean bruchids are among the most devastating insect pests of common bean that can inflict huge losses in storage. To identify potential resistance to these pests, screening was performed at Sokoine University Agriculture. Two resistant landraces were identified, viz Kalubungula and KK25. Recombinant inbred (RI) KSy, KSw ML populations created from crosses between Soya × Kalubungula, Sowor...

Beneficial and deleterious bacterial–host interactions in chronic wound pathophysiology Report Title Chronic wounds represent a major health and financial burden. Although incredible advancements in wound management have been made in the last decade, the incidences of chronic wounds continue to increase due to a rise in biofilm-associated infections. The presence of biofilm causes chronic...

This article introduces a new finite mixture class of generated families between Topp–Leone–G and exponentiated–G class, called Topp–Leone (MTLE–G) class. be more suitable for many real life situations improve fitted results. One sub–model this is studied in details, exponentiated–Weibull distribution. Some statistical proper...
