during early neurogenesis, the floor plate plays an essential role(s) in the differentiation of the ventral portion of neural tube. in this study, we detected the specific distribution of unique glycoconjugate during the floor plate differentiation. formalin fixed paraffin sections of balb/c mice (10-14 embryonic days) were processed for histochemical studies using horseradish peroxidase-labell...

Drug therapy is a complex and important process and because of the importance of drug interactions, especially in in-patients, accompanying problems and obstacles would exist as a result of concomitant use of drugs in these patients. For this purpose 3130 prescription order forms from Bou-Ali hospital were collected and all potential drug interactions presentwere extracted and evaluated in term...

background: protein-protein interactions do not provide any direct information re­garding the domains within the proteins that mediate the interactions. the majority of proteins are multi domain proteins and the interaction between them is often defined by the pairs of their domains. most of the former studies focus only on interacting do­main pairs. however they do not consider the interaction...

nurses play a functional role in preventing drug related problems. they need to be aware of the dangers of polypharmacy while reviewing patient medications. we studied the nurses' opinion on the diverse effects of polypharmacy in the hospital setting. nurses working in a tertiary care teaching hospital participated in this cross-sectional study, conducted over 3 months, by responding to a self-...

The objective of this paper was to review existing information regarding food effects on drug absorption within paediatric populations. Mechanisms that underpin food-drug interactions were examined to consider potential differences between adult and paediatric populations, to provide insights into how this may alter the pharmacokinetic profile in a child. Relevant literature was searched to ret...
