-Bioremediation is the application of biological process principles to the treatment of groundwater, soil and sludge contaminated with hazardous chemicals. It requires the control and manipulation of microbial processes in surface reactors or in the subsurface. Of prime importance, microorganisms are capable of producing enzymes that will degrade the hazardous chemical (target compound) as enzy...

Objective: Office hysteroscopy is a method that has become increasingly popular because of its low complication rate, rapid recovery, and cost-effectiveness. Pain the biggest obstacle to successful completion office procedures. Thus, present study aimed investigate efficacy misoprostol in providing cervical ripening, thus reducing pain during transition hysteroscopy.
 Methods: This researc...

Induction of labour is carried out worldwide for a broad range of maternal and fetal indications, so as to improve pregnancy outcomes. Oral misoprostol has been widely discussed as a method of labour induction. It is recommended for this indication by the World Health Organization (WHO), the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO), and the Society of Obstetricians and Gynae...

Prostaglandin analogues of the E-series theoretically offer the ideal antiulcer drugs. Peptic ulcer healing with prostaglandin analogues is, however, no better than would be predicted from their ability to inhibit gastric acid secretion and they are less effective than histamine H2 receptor antagonists in preventing ulcer relapse. It could be that prostaglandin analogues inhibit gastric mucosal...

BACKGROUND The pharmacokinetic parameters of four different routes of administration of a single dose of 400 microg of misoprostol were studied. METHODS A total of 40 women undergoing termination of pregnancy by suction evacuation was randomized by computer model to receive 400 microg of misoprostol by one of four routes: (i) sublingual (ii) oral (iii) vaginal and (iv) vaginal with addition o...

postpartum hemorrhage is an important cause of maternal morbidity and mortality after delivery. active management of postpartum hemorrhage by an uterotonic drug decreases the rate of postpartum hemorrhage. the aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of rectal misoprostol for prevention of postpartum hemorrhage. this double blind randomized clinical trial was performed on full term pregnan...

BACKGROUND A myriad of interventions exist to treat postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), ranging from uterotonics and hemostatics to surgical and aortic compression devices. Nonetheless, PPH remains the leading cause of maternal mortality worldwide. The purpose of this article is to review the available evidence on the efficacy of misoprostol for the treatment of primary PPH and discuss implications fo...

The present investigation was directed to study the possible protective activity of quercetin-a natural antioxidant against dimethoate-induced cyto- and genotoxicity in meristematic cells of Allium sativum. So far there is no report on the biological properties of quercetin in plant test systems. Chromosome breaks, multipolar anaphase, stick chromosome, and mitotic activity were undertaken in t...
