background: different treatment and protective approaches for radiation-induced oral mucositis have been practiced and have varieties of success. of which, radioprotective agents, synthetic or natural, have been of great interest for researchers. this study aims to evaluate the effect of curcuma longa topical gel as a herbal production on mucositis induced by radiation therapy of head and neck ...

Abstract: Despite several topical and systemic antifungal drugs are used for the treatment of fungal infection, Amphotericin B (AmB) is still one of the most common first-line choices in systemic fungal infection for over seventh decades from discovery. Amphotericin B which is belonged to the polyene group has a wide spectrum in vitro and in vivo antifungal activity. Its mechanism of antifunga...

Blood samples were taken for haemostatic analysis from 225 patients with angina pectoris who were admitted to hospital for coronary angiography. beta thromboglobulin, platelet factor 3, platelet factor 4, factor VII:C, factor VIII:C, von Willebrand factor antigen, activated partial thromboplastin time, fibrinogen, antithrombin III, protein C:Ag, plasminogen, and antiplasmin were measured before...

BACKGROUND A variety of agents have been used to treat female pattern hair loss (FPHL), including topical minoxidil, topical 17α-estradiol, oral anti-androgen agents, and mineral supplements. Compared with these single agent regimens, combination therapies could be a better therapeutic option in expectation of superior treatment outcome. OBJECTIVE This study was designed to determine the effi...

Haemostatic system has several important functions: to keep blood in a fluid state, to arrest bleeding at the site of vascular injury by formation of a haemostatic plug and to destroy the plug slowly when healing takes place. Normal physiology constitutes a delicate balance between procoagulant and anticoagulant properties of this system, and a deficiency or exaggeration of any one may lead to ...

BACKGROUND Fungal keratitis is one of the major causes of infectious keratitis in tropical countries. Symptoms of fungal keratitis consist of blurred vision, redness, tearing, photophobia, pain and foreign body sensation. If not treated effectively, it could lead to blindness. Common causes include Candida spp., Fusarium spp. and Aspergillus spp.. With the limited choices of topical antifungal ...

Several haemostatic factors have been associated with incident arterial cardiovascular disease in prospective studies and meta-analyses. Plasma fibrinogen shows a strong and consistent association with risk; however, this may reflect its inflammatory marker status, and causality remains to be proven. The common haemostatic gene polymorphisms for factor II, factor V and the von Willebrand factor...

The pivotal studies from 2002 in the field of clinical haemostasis and thrombosis were all about the evaluation of existing or novel antiplatelet and anticoagulant strategies. Most of the new agents are specifically targeted to haemostatic pathways, which have recently been shown to be of importance in vivo and usually have a higher efficacy in comparison with currently available treatment stra...
