A prospective study on the antimicrobial usage in the medicine department of a tertiary care teaching hospital.

Introduction: As we know, some of the species of animals are endangered, as there is an increase in their declining rate and a decrease in their survival rate. The same is true for the antibiotics also, as there is a rise in the antimicrobial resistance and a decline in the development of new antibiotics. Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) has become a major obstacle in the way of the treatment of infectious diseases worldwide.

The serum C Peptide levels among the offsprings of the people with type 2 diabetes.

Background: Insulin Resistance (IR) is a condition in which the cells of the body become resistant to the effect of insulin , that is, the normal response to a given amount of insulin is reduced. As a result, levels of insulin are needed in order for insulin to produce its effect. The incidence of diabetes in the offsprings of diabetic couples was more than the incidence of diabetes in the offsprings, of whom only a single parent was diabetic.

A double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized comparison of pre and postoperative administration of ketorolac and tramadol for dental extraction pain.

Objective: To compare the analgesic efficacy and safety of single-dose oral ketorolac and tramadol administered pre and postoperatively for dental extraction pain.

Materials And Methods: 74 patients undergoing third molar extraction (impacted or other causes) were recruited into the study, over a period of 1 year. The patients were divided into six groups and they were given ketorolac (20 mg), tramadol (100 mg), or placebo either preoperatively or postoperatively (half an hour before or half an hour after the procedure).
