Antimicrobial and antiviral evaluation of compounds from : supported study.

, also known as the Indian Elm Tree, has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for its medicinal properties. In this study, two biologically active metabolites, 5(6) dihydrostigmast 22en 3--β-glucoside (DHS) and 1--eicosanoyl glycerol-2'--β-galactouronic (EGG), were isolated for the first time from the -butanol fraction of using a chromatographic technique and identified by NMR, and HRESI-MS. The antiviral and multidrug-resistant activities of these metabolites were evaluated as well as the -butanol fraction.

Myocardial infarction with normal coronary angiography compared with severe coronary artery disease without myocardial infarction: the crucial role of smoking.

Background: Why do some patients suffer acute myocardial infarction (MI) despite angiographically normal coronary arteries (NL + MI) whereas others enjoy an acute MI-free life despite extensive three-vessel disease (3VD-MI)? The present study contrasts these two groups to identify some differences in the risk profile.

Methods: In 10,000 patients admitted to the cardiology service, a first MI was confirmed in 2356 patients, of whom 1609 underwent coronary angiography. In 77 patients with MI, coronary angiography was found to be entirely normal (NL + MI, 77/1609, 4.

Effectiveness of amiodarone on ventricular arrhythmias during and after acute myocardial infarction.

A randomized, placebo-controlled study examined the effect of amiodarone on the incidence of ventricular arrhythmias after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Two hundred patients with AMI were randomized to receive amiodarone, 200 mg every 8 hours for 1 month, followed by 200 mg/day, or placebo, starting 48 hours after the onset of chest pain. Twenty-four-hour Holter monitoring was performed on day 1, repeated after 8 days and subsequently at 3-month intervals.
