PURPOSE We performed to reveal the association between the Helicobacter pylori infection and body weight among children. METHODS Out retrospective study included patients who underwent the H. pylori immunoglobulin G testing at Konyang University Hospital between March 2011 and June 2014. These patients were classified as seropositive (28 boys, 27 girls; mean age: 9.89±3.28 years) or seronegat...

To determine the pharmacological (Anti-inflammatory) potential of in-vitro cultures of Asparagus racemosus. Anti-inflammatory activity of methanolic extracts of shoot, root their calli and genetically transformed shoot culture was performed using carrageenan induced rat paw edema method. The albino rats were treated orally with two dosage (500 or 1000 mg/kg body weight of rats) of drugs, one ho...

BACKGROUND Few studies have focused on weight loss programs implemented in community-based primary care settings. The objective of this analysis was to evaluate the effectiveness of a weight loss program and determine whether physicians in primary care practices could achieve reductions in body weight and body fat similar to those obtained in weight loss clinics. METHODS Analyses were perform...

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of aqueous root extract of Lecaniodiscus cupanioidies Planch. (Sapindaceae) against loperamide-induced constipation in Wistar rats. Methods: Constipation was induced by oral administration of loperamide (3 mg/kg body weight). The constipated rats were orally treated daily either with 50, 150, 250 mg/kg body weight per day of the extract or 0.21 mg/kg bisacodyl ...

Infertility is well-established harmful effect in chronic alcoholism and so far, there is no effective treatment for this condition. The study was conducted to determine the effects of lecithin, a known hepatoprotective on ethanol induced testicular injuries in male albino rats of Wistar strain. Five groups (n=6) of animals were used. Group I served as control. Group II received daily 1.6 g eth...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the sub-acute oral toxicity of acetaminophen in Wistar rats at doses of 250 to 1000 mg/kg body weight. The following observations were noticed during the study. No mortality, no incidence of any abnormal clinical signs, no significant effect on body weight gain, no effect on the daily feed consumption, no toxicologically significant effect on the hae...

The production of propionate in the caecum of the horse has been measured in two Shetland-type ponies fitted with caecal and colonic cannulas and fed on hay or on hay and wheat bran. A continuous intracaecal infusion of 14C-labelled sodium propionate was used and samples were obtained from a cannula at the origin of the right ventral colon. A simultaneous intravenous infusion of [2-3H]glucose w...

We evaluated the use of Clariscan 0.75, 2, and 5 mg Fe/kg body weight in six patients to determine optimal dosing for short repetition time cine imaging. Breathhold cine images were acquired in the vertical and horizontal long axes and the short axis. Blood-pool signal-to-noise ratio increased significantly in all planes (p < 0.01) but was least marked in the short axis. Myocardial signal-to-no...

the effect of ephedrine at 0 (e0c0, n = 10), 8 (e8c0, n = 10) and 10 (e10c0, n = 10) mg per kg metabolic body weight or mixture of ephedrine/caffeine, at doses of 8 mg ephedrine/80 mg caffeine (e8c80, n = 10), or 10 mg ephedrine/100 mg caffeine (e10c100, n = 7), per kg metabolic body weight on body composition of feedlot mehraban ram lambs (8-month-old) was studied. the lambs were fed for 95 da...

background: garcinia kola seed is consumed indiscriminately in nigeria without recourse to its potential toxicity. therefore, this study was aimed at assessing the toxicity of the aqueous extract of g. kola seeds on selected tissues of male rats.  methods: thirty male rats (215.00 ± 18.58 g) were assigned into four groups: a, b, c and d which received 0.5 ml of distilled water, 25, 50 and 100 m...
