The use of natural resource revenues for achievement of development has been a challenging issue for resource abundant countries. These challenges stem from the fact that incomes from natural resources are non-durable, unpredictable and uncertain. Different countries have pursued various approaches and tools for managing these revenues to avoid economic fluctuations. The international organizat...

We have recently screened 36 analogues of the lipophilic iron (Fe) chelator, pyridoxal isonicotinoyl hydrazone (PIH), for their antiproliferative effect (Richardson et al, Blood 86:4295, 1995). Of these compounds, 1 chelator derived from salicylaldehyde benzoyl hydrazone (206) and 4 ligands derived from 2-hydroxy-1-naphthylaldehyde benzoyl hydrazone (308, 309, 311, and 315) showed pronounced an...

Introduction Melasma and postinflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) are conditions commonly encountered by dermatologists, they often distressing to patients. While PIH can improve with time once the inflammatory process is controlled, melasma a condition that requires prolonged treatment maintenance. There numerous options, ranging from UV protection topical therapies (such as hydroquinone), mor...

To investigate the clinical features and perinatal treatment of thrombocytopenia induced by different causes during pregnancy.Clinical data from 195 pregnant women with thrombocytopenia attending 2 tertiary hospitals from January 2014 to October 2016 were retrospectively studied. The obtained data were analyzed with SPSS 19.0 software.There were 117 (60.0%), 55 (28.2%), and 23 cases (11.8%) of ...

Preeclampsia (PE) is a major contributor to maternal and fetal mortality. The cause of preeclampsia remains unclear, but oxidative stress on the endothelium leading to endothelial dysfunction is said to be the root cause of the disease. The aim of this study was to measure and determine the plasma levels of key angiogenic factors in pregnancy as an indicator for the early onset of preeclampsia ...

Objective: Aim of StudyTo determine the effect of music therapy on stress level and physiological indicators on women with PIH Materials and Methods: Method of study The study was conducted at Medical College Calicut, Kerala in 2006 in women with PIH in the gestational age of 30-36 weeks. The sample considered of 60 women in the study group and 30 in the control group. The study group was subje...

BACKGROUND Altered renal function is an essential component of the pathophysiological process in pre-eclampsia. Kidneys play an important role in the turnover of low molecular weight substances such as creatinine, uric acid and cystatin C. The present study was undertaken if these serum markers were characteristically altered in Indian pregnant women. METHODS Serum levels were therefore deter...

Background/Aim. A substantial line of evidence indicates that Kv4.2 and Kv4.3 channels are the major components rapid transient-outward potassium currents (A-type cur-rents). It is speculated those may be involved in maintenance membrane potential, as well regulation propagation frequency action potentials. However, very little known about presence function A-type human vascular smooth muscles ...
