Awareness of the prevalence of high triglycerides in an spontaneous survey in all of Brazilian regions. More recently, attention has increased to triglycerides, in particular, especially for its possible relation with remanescent chylomicrons and even Familial Hyperchylomicronemia Syndrome. Although triglycerides not being a major risk factor, it does relate to pro atherosclerotic markers. As to Brazilians controlling triglycerides levels, either by treatment or not spontaneously, in all sexes, age groups and regions, the results in Means are too abnormal.

Effect of garlic extract (allium sativum) on hepatotoxicity induced by gemcitabine in rabbits (histological and histopathological study)

Gemcitabine (pyrimidine analog 2′, 2′-difluorodeoxycytidine) is a nucleoside analog that has been used as a chemotherapeutic drug for more than 15 years. It was classified as an antimetabolite with many brand names including Gemzar. This drug cannot differentiate between normal cell and malignant cell, so it produces its toxic effect on both cells as the toxic impacts transfer from the tumor cells to the normal cells. Hepatotoxicity is the less well-known aspect of gemcitabine treatment, and there is little information about the underlying mechanism.

Simultaneous estimation of levodopa and benserazide by using reverse phase high Performance liquid chromatography in api and marketed formulation

Pharmaceutical analysis plays a vital role in the Quality Assurance and Quality control of bulk drugs. A rapid and precise reverse phase high performance liquid chromatographic method has been developed for the validated of benserazide and levodopa, in its pure form as well as in tablet dosage form. Chromatography was carried out on an Altima C18 (4.6 x 150mm, 5µm) column using a mixture of methanol: TEA buffer pH 4.5: acetonitrile (50:25:25) as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.0ml/min, the detection was carried out at 225nm.

Photogrammetric quantification of forward head posture in pregnant women

Background: forward head position is characterized by a dorso extension of the head together with the upper cervical spine (Cl-C3), accompanied by a flexion of the lower cervical spine (C4-C7), where the cervical curvature is increased, a condition called hyper lordosis, it is one of the most common problems occurred in pregnant women especially in 3rd trimester of pregnancy as a result of increasing abdominal weight, shifting of COG, breast enlargement, hyper laxity of ligaments.

Effect of cupping therapy on nitric oxide level in patients with cervical spondylosis

Background: Cervical spondylosis is a generalized disease process affecting all levels of the cervical spine. Cupping Therapy (CT) is an ancient method and currently used in the treatment of a broad range of medical conditions such as cervical spondylosis. Nitric Oxide (NO) is a signaling gas molecule that mediates vasodilation and regulates blood flow and several lines of evidence have indicated that NO plays a complex and diverse role in the modulation of pain.

A rare case report of unclassified mixed germ cell and sex cord stromal tumor of ovary in adult female

Unclassified mixed germ cell and sex cord stromal tumor with yolk sac and dysgerminoma component is an infrequent ovarian neoplasm. Mixed germ cell and sex cord stromal tumors are categorized into two subtypes - gonadoblastoma and unclassified mixed germ cell and sex cord stromal cell tumor (UMGSCT) . The subtype unclassified mixed germ cell and sex cord stromal tumor is rareand usually occur in females less than 10 years of age. Here we report an uncommon case of unclassified mixed germ cell and sex cord cell stromal tumor in a 22 year old female patient.
