The diuretic activity of methanol extract of Oxystelma esculentum aerial parts (MEOE) was studied in male Wister albino rats at 5h and 24h interval. The animals were divided into 5 groups: control, urea, furosemide and 200mg/kg and 400mg/kg MEOE. The extract was administered intraperitoneally (i.p) pretreated and all animals were saline MEOE. The urine volume (in mL) and electrolytes excretio...

OBJECTIVES To determine (1) between-hospital variation in diuretic use for infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), including hospital-specific treatment frequency, treatment duration, and percentage of infants receiving short (≤5 consecutive days) versus longer (>5 days) courses, and to determine (2) demographic and clinical variables associated with diuretic administration. METHODS A ...

diuretics are the agents which cause increase in excretion of urine. diabetes mellitus (dm) is a multi-factorial disorder characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from an increased hepatic glucose production and diminished insulin secretion. the present study was undertaken to study the diuretic and anti-diabetic activity of esculin. esculin was found to have potent diuretic activity in normal ...

SEE PAGE 580 F luid overload and the resultant signs and symptoms, such as dyspnea, are the predominant factors precipitating a hospitalization for acute heart failure. The first-line treatment to relieve this congestion are loop diuretic agents, which are administered to more than 90% of patients hospitalized for acute heart failure (1). Heart failure guidelines recommend treatment with escala...

Quinoxaline is a privileged pharmacophore that has broad-spectrum applications in the fields of medicine, pharmacology and pharmaceutics. Similarly, sulfonamide moiety considerable interest medicinal chemistry, as it exhibits wide range pharmacological activities. Therefore, therapeutic potential biomedical quinoxalines have been enhanced by incorporation group into their chemical framework. Th...

Aims To study loop diuretic response and effect of omission in ambulatory heart failure (HF) patients on chronic low-dose diuretics. Methods results Urine collections were performed two consecutive days 40 HF with 40–80 mg furosemide (day 1 diuretic; day 2 without diuretic). Three phases collected each day: (i) first 6 h; (ii) rest the day; (iii) night. On intake, total natriuresis was 125.9 (8...

the present study was designed to investigate the diuretic activity of Musa sapientum l. (familyMusaceae) flowers. The dried powder of the flower was subjected to Soxhlet extraction with alcohol and this extract was used for diuretic activity in Wistar albino rats using lipschitz method. the diuretic activity was assessed in terms of urine output and, concentration of Sodium, Potassium and Chlo...
