Qualitative tests for preliminary phytochemical screening: An overview

Current noninvasive tests for colorectal cancer screening: An overview of colorectal cancer screening tests

Colorectal cancer (CRC) has become the third most common cancer in the world. Screening has been shown to be an effective way to identify early CRC and precancerous lesions, and to reduce its morbidity and mortality. Several types of noninvasive tests have been developed for CRC screening, including the fecal occult blood test (FOBT), the fecal immunochemical test (FIT), the fecal-based DNA tes...

Preliminary phytochemical screening of selected Medicinal Plants

PRELIMINARY PHYTOCHEMICAL SCREENING OF EURYCOMANONE FOR Eurycoma longifolia

Eurycoma longifolia has been widely used in traditional herbal preparation and presently there are many commercial products available for general health and libido. However, study on plant breeding of this species is still in its infancy. Thus, Forest Research Institute Malaysia (FRIM) has taken an initiative to conduct provenance trial of this species in order to select the best provenance and...

Preliminary Qualitative Phytochemical Screening and in Vitro Hypoglycemic Potential of Acanthus Ilicifolius and Evolvulus Emerginatus

Objective: The present study was planned to explore phytoconstituents and hypoglycemic potential of the leaf extracts of Acanthus ilicifolius and Evolvulus emerginatus by invitro method. Methods: The aqueous, ethanol and methanol leaf extracts were prepared by soxhlation method. Qualitative phytochemical screening was done by using Horborne method. Methanol leaf extracts and standard drug acarb...

Functional Movement Screening Tests for the Prediction of Injuries in Volleyball: A Qualitative Study

Background. There is little evidence to support the comprehensiveness of FMS in sports populations to predict injuries. Ignoring rapid decelerations and high eccentric forces which may be characteristics of high risk for injury are evident in these tests. With this in mind, it seems logical to use tests to assess the performance of athletes so as to evaluate speed components as well as to ident...
