In Vitro Comparison to Evaluate Metal Ion Release: Nickel-Titanium vs. Titanium-Molybdenum Orthodontic Archwires.

Background When metals used in orthodontic materials are exposed to the oral environment, teeth, and gingivae over an extended period of time, they may gradually deteriorate. As a result, the patient is exposed to higher concentrations of metals and metal ions than what they would be exposed to through food and other sources. The goal of the current in vitro experiment was to evaluate and contrast the metal ion release from orthodontic archwires made of titanium-molybdenum alloy (TMA) and nickel-titanium (NiTi).

Development and Validation of a Stability-Indicating High-Performance Liquid Chromatographic Method for the Quantification of Methocarbamol and Its Impurities in Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms.

A novel, delicate, stability-indicating, gradient, reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic method has been established for the quantitative estimation of methocarbamol (MTC) and its impurities present in a pharmaceutical oral suspension. XBridge C18, 5 μm, 250 mm × 4.6 mm column was used to accomplish chromatographic separation with a buffered mobile phase consisting of a mixture of 0.

Comparative evaluation of the efficacy and tolerability of itopride hydrochloride and domperidone in patients with non-ulcer dyspepsia.

Background: Prokinetic drugs are widely used for treatment of non-ulcer dyspepsia (NUD).

Aims And Objectives: To assess the efficacy and tolerability of a new prokinetic agent, itopride hydrochloride in patients of NUD and compare it with domperidone.

Methods: Fifty-six patients who fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria were enrolled in the study.

Duodenal leiomyoma--a rare cause of haematemesis.

Leiomyoma of the duodenum is a rare tumour. Small intestinal tumours contributing to upper gastrointestinal bleed is still rare. They usually present with malena and anaemia, rarely hematemesis.
