A study was performed to assess the time between drug intake and drug induced hypersensitivity reaction for patients sensitive to nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAID) in clinical patient history and after oral provocation tests. Drug hypersensitivity ENDA questionnaires were filled for the patients with suspected sensitivity to NSAID. Oral provocation tests were performed with suspected ...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the pacing pattern and associated physiological effects in competitive cyclists who performed a 30-minute maximal cycling test. Measurements included oxygen uptake (V O2), heart rate (HR), blood lactate concentration (BLC), rating of perceived exertion (RPE), and work rate in watts. Twelve well-trained amateur cyclists (seven men and five women) whos...

Following fertilization of the egg of the sand dollar Echinarachnius parma, tritiated thymidine (H(3)TDR) was taken up independently by the male and female pronuclei beginning within about 15 to 20 minutes, and the labeled pronuclei fused at about 30 to 40 minutes. At cleavage 90 minutes later the labeled nuclear material was distributed to both daughter cells. Unfertilized eggs and sperm expos...

Carotenoids are pigments found in various types of fruits and vegetables that provide yellow, orange, red colors. This study aimed to extract yellow pumpkin skin using edible oil solvents. The extraction process was carried out ultrasound-assisted (UAE) method with virgin coconut (VCO) palm kernel (PKO). Yellow peel powder sizes 40 mesh 100 were extracted variations time (30 minutes, 60 90 minu...

Background and Purpose: We compared the incidence and severity of paraplegia following thoracic aortic cross-clamping in dogs for two anesthetic regimens. Animals were randomly assigned to receive methohexital (group M; n=9) or isoflurane (group I; n=9). We expected a better neurological outcome in animals administered methohexital because of superior neuronal protection and greater spinal cord...

Background Ketorolac tromethamine is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that extensively used for the management of renal colic in emergency department (ED). It has been proposed ketorolac at doses above its analgesic ceiling with no more advantages and increased risk adverse effects. In this study, we compared effects three intravenous patients colic. Methods This noninferiority, ra...
