Isoquinoline Promoted Synthesis of alkyl 2-(1-alkyl-5-oxo-3-phenyl-2-thioxotetrahydro-4H-imidazol-4-yliden) acetate derivatives

Derivatives of thiazolidinone ring systems are known to act as anti-HIV infections , analgesic, anti-bacterial, anti-convulsant, anti parasitic, potential anti-inflammatory and herbicidal agents. Due biological activities of thiazolidinones ring, several methods for their synthesis have been illustrated in literature. Imidazolidine-2-thiones were synthesized by the oxidative cyclization of 1-be...

Systematic review and meta-analysis of diagnostic value of epicutaneous patch ‎testing in patients with oral lichenoid lesions

BACKGROUND AND AIM: We sought to carry out a systematic review and meta-analysis of the diagnostic value of ‎epicutaneous patch testing in patients with oral lichenoid lesions (OLLs).‎ METHODS: Bibliographic searches were conducted in electronic databases such as PubMed, the Cochrane library, ‎EBSCO, Scopus, Web of knowledge and Google scholar from January 1990 to December 2011.

Neoprene Orthopaedic Supports: An Underrecognised Cause of Allergic Contact Dermatitis

Thioureas, often contained within neoprene to provide water resistance, are an important cause of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) in those who use neoprene products. We wish to present three cases of thiourea-induced ACD from three different orthopaedic supports containing neoprene. The first case was a 67-year-old woman who developed an itchy rash on her heel three weeks after using a neopre...

Effects of Lace-up and Aircast Ankle Braces on Dynamic Postural Control in Functional Fatigue Condition: A Study on Volleyball Players with Ankle Instability

Purpose: To determine the more effective ankle brace (lace-up or Aircast ankle brace) at providing dynamic postural control in volleyball players with unstable ankle under functional fatigue conditions. Methods: Subjects of this study participated in 3 separate testing sessions and did not use or used a different brace at each session i.e. no brace (NB), lace-up ankle brace (AB), and Airca...
