Objective: Tabernaemontana divaricata (TD) from Apocynaceae family offers the traditional folklore medicinal benefits such as an anti-epileptic, anti-mania, brain tonic, and anti-oxidant. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of ethanolic extract of TD leaves on burying behavior in mice. Materials and Methods:Mice were treated with oral administration (p.o.) of ethanolic extra...

A hypothesis testing, case-control study evaluated automated medical records for exposure to organic-Hg from Thimerosal-containing hepatitis B vaccines (TM-HepB) administered at specific intervals in the first six-months-of-life among cases diagnosed with a tic disorder (TD) or cerebral degeneration (CD) (an outcome not biologically plausibly linked to TM exposure) in comparison to controls; bo...

OBJECTIVES This analysis examined the incidence rate of chronic arthritis adverse reactions reported following adult rubella and hepatitis B vaccinations. In this analysis, etiologic mechanisms for chronic arthritis following adult rubella and hepatitis B vaccines were also explored. METHODS The Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) database was analyzed for the incidence rate of re...

Immune suppression resulting from prolonged chemoprophylaxis and potential drug-vaccine interaction were investigated within the context of a randomized placebo-controlled trial that compared daily primaquine or weekly chloroquine administration for malaria prevention. After 11 months of prophylaxis, adult male subjects received a tetanus-diphtheria (Td) vaccination. Prophylaxis continued 4 wee...

281 Recommended for incoming undergraduate students, the book provides a quick understanding of the important terms and techniques for current DNA-related research. Its utility for medical students, however, is somewhat limited by its brevity and enormous scope. At almost $40 in hardcover, the book is far too expensive. At $16.95 in softcover, it remains somewhat less so, but may be worth the c...

This paper gives the brief introduction to key features of TD-SCDMA and TD-LTE (TDD Long Term Evolution). For the TD-SCDMA system, key technologies such as joint detection, smart antenna and synchronization are described and analyzed. For the TD-LTE system, important technologies such as OFDM, MIMO, uplink timing control, inter-cell interference coordination are applied. It is shown that the TD...

OBJECTIVE To describe obstetricians' perspectives related to tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis (Tdap) vaccination of mothers and other adults in close contact with infants. METHODS Mail survey of national random sample of 400 obstetricians. RESULTS Response rate was 54%. Most respondents would likely recommend Tdap for women during the postpartum hospital stay (78%) or during pregnancy...

Background & Objectives: Tumor diathesis (TD) is defined as granular proteinaceous precipitates on slide surface of cytologic smears. It is found in the background of smears of invasive carcinoma but not in all cases. The aim of present study was to determine the prevalence of TD in cervicovaginal smears from patients with uterine cervix carcinoma. Methods: Cytological smears and histological ...

Thiamine deficiency (TD) is accepted as the cause of beriberi because of its action in the metabolism of simple carbohydrates, mainly as the rate limiting cofactor for the dehydrogenases of pyruvate and alpha-ketoglutarate, both being critical to the action of the citric acid cycle. Transketolase, dependent on thiamine and magnesium, occurs twice in the oxidative pentose pathway, important in p...
