In Vivo Acute Toxicity and Immunomodulation Assessment of a Novel Nutraceutical in Mice.

Achieving and maintaining a well-balanced immune system has righteously become an insightful task for the general population and an even more fundamental goal for those affected by immune-related diseases. Since our immune functions are indispensable in defending the body against pathogens, diseases and other external attacks, while playing a vital role in maintaining health and modulating the immune response, we require an on-point grasp of their shortcoming as a foundation for the development of functional foods and novel nutraceuticals. Seeing that immunoceuticals are considered effective in improving immune functions and reducing the incidence of immunological disorders, the main focus of this study was to assess the immunomodulatory properties and possible acute toxicity of a novel nutraceutical with active substances of natural origin on C57BL/6 mice for 21 days.

[Cytologic survey of CSF in the meningeal hemorrhages (author's transl)].

We have selected a group of young patients, without any pathological past, admitted in the hospital after traffic accidents. CSF was examined at various periods after the accident as well on the cytological as on the biological point. If the lumbar punction is undertaken in the very few hours after the trauma or at the time of the onset of a meningeal syndrom, the presence of oxyhemoglobin may confirm the abnormal bleeding and makes difference with the stitching of a vessel during the punction.

Arachnoidea and subarachnoid spaces of the vault of the skull in man.

This field is meagerly represented in the literature. The aim of this paper is to check in man the descriptions which for the most part were made in animals. Specimens were taken during the course of neurosurgical operations.
