Evaluation of efficacy of Aloe vera (L.) Burm. f. gel solution in methylcellulose-induced ocular hypertension in New Zealand white rabbits.

Objectives The present study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of Aloe vera in the methylcellulose-induced ocular hypertension model. Methods Fifty-six rabbits were randomly divided into seven groups. Intraocular pressure (IOP) was raised by anterior chamber injection of 2% methylcellulose in all the groups except the normal control group.

Cephalosporins Associated Pseudomembraneous Colitis in an Elderly Male Patient - A Case Report.

Introduction: Incidence of antibiotic- associated diarrhoea is a common (10-30%) but pseudomembranous colitis (PMC) is less frequent (1-5%). Fluoroquinolones, clindamycin, penicillins, cephalosporins (mostly third generation) are commonly associated with PMC. The association between cephalosporins and PMC is now well established.

Evaluation of wound healing activity of cow urine ark in diabetic Wistar albino rats.

Aim: To evaluate wound healing activity of cow urine ark in diabetic rats.

Materials And Methods: Streptozotocin-induced diabetic Wistar albino rats were randomly divided into six groups ( = 6). Three groups - diabetic control, active control (glibenclamide), and treatment (cow urine ark) were operated for excision wounds (EWs).

A Case Report of Antitubercular Drugs Induced Exanthematous Reaction Complicated by Acute Onset Levofloxacin Induced Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN).

Background: We report a case of 25 years old male patient with antitubercular drugs induced exanthematous reaction and hepatotoxicity that was complicated by levofloxacin induced toxic epidermal necrolysis. The patient was allergic to ciprofloxacin and ofloxacin. Cross reactivity between ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin might be responsible for causing this reaction.

Hypolipidemic activity of a hydroalcoholic extract of Cyperus scariosus Linn. root in guinea pigs fed with a high cholesterol diet.

Lipid-lowering and antioxidant activities of a hydroalcoholic extract of Cyperus scariosus Linn. root (HCS) were evaluated in guinea pigs fed with a high cholesterol diet. Serum lipid profile (total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL-C, VLDL-C, and HDL-C), atherogenic indices and serum enzymes (ALT, AST, ALP, LDH, and CK-MB) were performed in each group at 0 days and at the end of 60 days.

Evaluation of anti-urolithiatic effect of aqueous extract of Bryophyllum pinnatum (Lam.) leaves using ethylene glycol-induced renal calculi.

Unlabelled: Materials and Methods : Thirty-six Wistar male rats were randomly divided into six equal groups. Group A animals received distilled water for 28 days. Group B to group F animals received 1% v/v ethylene glycol in distilled water for 28 days and group B served as ethylene glycol control.

Anti-urolithiatic effect of ethanolic extract of Pedalium murex linn. fruits on ethylene glycol-induced renal calculi.

Purpose: To evaluate effect of ethanolic extract of Pedalium murex Linn. fruits on experimental model of calcium oxalate nephrolithiasis.

Materials And Methods: Thirty-six male Wistar albino rats were randomly divided in 6 groups.
