Background & Aim: Punica granatum L. (pomegranate) is a widely used plant that has high nutritional value .This study evaluated prevention effect of hydro alcoholic extract of Punica granatum flower and leaves ethylene glycol-induced Nephrolithiasis in Wistar rats. Experimental: 20 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 equal groups. G...

A simple liquid-phase microextraction (LPME) device combined with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is presented for the simultaneous analysis of local anaesthetics, lidocaine, bupivacaine, and tetracaine, from human urine sample. An organic solvent showed good compatibility with the mobile phase of the HPLC, o-dibutyl phthalate, was selected. Local anaesthetics are extracted from 6...

Background & Aim: This study evaluated prevention effect of hydro-alcoholic extract of punica granatum Peel ethylene glycol-induced Nephrolithiasis in wistar rats. Experimental: 20 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 equal groups. Group I animals served as normal control (A) and received distilled water for 28 days. Group II to IV animals received 1% v/v ethylene glycol (EG) in disti...

Abstract Background Urine organic acids (UOA) analysis is an essential investigation for inborn errors of metabolism (IEMs). The vast majority methods use gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and are only qualitative. Gas tandem (GC-MS/MS) offers greater sensitivity selectivity, enables the combination qualitative screening with quantitative analysis. We describe development preliminary...

As a contribution to the debate on the comparison of nutritional quality between conventional versus organic products, the present study would like to provide new results on this issue specifically on dairy products by integrating the last 3 years' studies using a meta-analysis approach with Hedges' d effect size method. The current meta-analysis shows that organic dairy products contain signif...
