BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES The optimal anti-snake venom (ASV) dose required to treat neurotoxic snake envenomation is not known. Low-dose ASV (national protocol: maximum dose 200 ml) may be as efficacious as the conventional regimen (100 ml six hourly till all symptoms disappear), but a direct comparison of the regimens is not available. The aim of this study was to test the efficacy of low-dose A...

BACKGROUND Several modifications of the 13C-urea breath test have been published. For reasons of cost efficiency and practicability, the urea dose and measurement duration should be reduced while still maintaining excellent diagnostic accuracy. AIMS To establish a validated simple protocol for the urea breath test with 50 mg 13C-urea and to compare this protocol with the conventional urea bre...

OBJECTIVE To compare the effectiveness of a flexible multidose gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist against the effectiveness of a microdose flare-up GnRH agonist combined with a flexible multidose GnRH antagonist protocol in poor responders to in vitro fertilization (IVF). STUDY DESIGN A retrospective study in Akdeniz University, Faculty of Medicine, Department of Obstetrics and ...

This article is a systematic review of the literature on utilization of gonadotrophin-releasing hormone antagonists (GnRH-ant) for ovarian stimulation for IVF in special patient groups. Summarized by meta-analysis are the data from randomized controlled trials (RCT) in which GnRH-agonist (GnRH-a) and GnRH-ant were compared (eight RCT for poor response, four RCT for PCOS). Also reviewed are the ...

Hmim][Tfa] was tested as catalyst for the Biginelli reaction multicomponent reaction under conventional and non conventional heat source i.e. Microwave heating. Low catalyst loading, reduced reaction time and operational simplicity are the main highlights of this proposed protocol. Using our proposed protocol, we tested 30 different biologically active compounds in good yield.

To assess whether high BMI of >30kg/m2 affects outcome Intrauterine Insemination method(IUI). We conducted a retrospective study 140 infertile couples. Out these 71 women had <30 (Group A) and 69 >30 B). All undergone (IUI) using the agonist/antagonist with stimulation by gonadotrophins protocol. Statistical anylasis was done Student t test for parametric data Chi-square...

The interaction between the cardioprotective effect of endothelin (ET) receptor blockade and nitric oxide (NO) during ischemia-reperfusion injury was investigated. Anesthetized pigs were subjected to 45 (protocol 1) or 30 min (protocol 2) coronary artery ligation and 4 h reperfusion. In protocol 1, five groups were given vehicle, the ET(A) receptor antagonist LU-135252 (LU), the NO synthase (NO...

in this study an easy, green, efficient and simple approach is reported for the synthesis of some benzothiazole-, benzimidazole- and benzoxazole-2-thiolderivatives. the proposed approach employs the reaction of corresponding aromatic amine with potassium isopropyl xanthate (z11) in the presence of copper sulfate (cuso4) as a catalyst under conventional heating and ultrasonic irradiation. the ad...

background: the purpose of present study was to evaluate the role of pre-ovulatory gnrh agonist therapy on ivf outcomes in gnrh antagonist cycles. methods: in this prospective study we recruited 100 infertile women undergoing ivf cycles with gnrh antagonists. the patients were assigned to two groups: group a (the study group, n=42) were assigned for receiving hcg+triptorelin for the final oocyt...
