Two once-a-month preparations cyclo provera (Depo-medroxy Progesterone Acetate 25 mg and Estradiol Cypionate 5 mg) and HRP-102 (Norethisterone enanthate 50 mg and Estradiol Valerate 5 mg) were tried in two groups of women by random allocation, and their effectiveness, complaints and reasons for discontinuation were studied. A total of 206 women were admitted (104 on cyclo provera and 102 on HRP...

The brown algae are an interesting group of organisms from several points of view. They are the dominant organisms in many coastal ecosystems, where they often form large, underwater forests. They also have an unusual evolutionary history, being members of the stramenopiles, which are very distantly related to well-studied animal and green plant models. As a consequence of this history, brown a...

Drug binding to plasma proteins restricts their free and active concentrations, thereby affecting their pharmacokinetic properties. Species differences in plasma protein levels complicate the understanding of interspecies pharmacodynamic and toxicological effects. MBX-102 acid/JNJ39659100 is a novel PPAR-gamma agonist in development for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Studies were performed t...

Two monoclonal antibodies, MLS 102, which recognizes cancer-associated mucin antigens, and MLS 103, which recognizes normal mucin, were used to isolate, by immunoaffinity chromatography, the corresponding antigens from cell lysates and spent medium of a human colorectal carcinoma cell line, LS 180. The MLS 102 antigen contained serine, threonine, and proline as major amino acids. The carbohydra...

A total of 45 random samples of locally white soft cheese were collected from various dairy shops, street vendors and supermarkets located in Gharbia governorate, Egypt. The samples were represented as Domiati, Tallaga, and Kareish cheese (15 samples of each) were examined for the presence of Staphylococcus aureus organisms. The incidence of Staph. aureus were 13.3%, 26.6% and 26.6% in the exam...
