Previous Conclusions and Recommendation:  Evidence does not support a difference in efficacy/effectiveness  Evidence does not support a difference in harms/adverse events  Tadalfil demonstrated improvements in urinary symptoms compared to placebo in patients with lower urinary tract symptoms, but demonstrated no difference in post void residual volume or urinary flow rate.  Tadalafil is als...

PURPOSE To evaluate hyoscine N-butyl bromide (HBB) and three different alpha-1 blockers in the treatment of distal ureteral stones. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 140 patients with stones located in the distal tract of the ureter with stone diameters of 5 to 10mm were enrolled in the present study and were randomized into 4 equal groups. Group 1 received HBB, Group 2 received alfuzosin, Gro...

A simple, sensitive, selective rapid spectrophotometric method has been developed for the determination of terazosin in pure form, pharmaceutical formulations and blood sample based on the oxidative coupling reaction with MBTH (3-methyl-2-benzothiazolone hydrazone hydrochlorideMethod-A), and Ion association reaction with BPB(Bromophenol Blue-Method-B) reagents at P H_ 4.0 which is extractable a...

PURPOSE To explore the role of calcium in morphine withdrawal syndrome using various agents affecting calcium levels in cytoplasm. METHODS Mice were rendered dependent on morphine by subcutaneous injection of morphine, and withdrawal was induced 4 hours later by injecting the opioid antagonist, naloxone. Mice were observed for 30 minutes for signs of withdrawal, ie, characteristic jumping, hy...

We demonstrated previously that induction of diabetes in rats that were treated chronically with the nitric oxide synthase inhibitor N(G)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) causes a severe, progressive increase in mean arterial pressure. This study tested the role of the sympathetic nervous system in that response. Rats were instrumented with chronic artery and vein catheters and assigned r...

citric acid and tetracycline hcl are the most common clinical root demineralization agents used in periodontal practice. in this comparative in vitro study the effects of nd: yag laser radiation on root surface was compared to that of citric acid and tetracycline hcl using sem. a total of twenty-one freshly extracted periodontally diseased single rooted premolar teeth were root planned in vitro...

Hairy cell leukemia (HCL) is characterized by leukemic cells with abundant "hairy" cytoplasm, strong cytoplasmic positivity for tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP), characteristic immunophenotype and sensitivity to treatment with purine nucleoside analogs. HCL-variant (HCL-v) encompasses chronic B-cell leukemias resembling classical HCL but exhibiting variant cytomorphology, variant immu...
