Strongyloidiasis infection in a borderline lepromatous leprosy patient with adrenocorticoid insufficiency undergoing corticosteroid treatment: a case report.

Background: Strongyloidiasis is a soil-transmitted helminthiasis mainly caused by Strongyloides stercoralis. It is endemic to the tropics and subtropics. Sri Lanka has a 0-1.

and evaluation of the wound healing properties and safety assessment of two seaweeds ( and ).

Seaweeds have been regarded as a reservoir of biologically active molecules that are important in the pharmaceutical industry. The aim of the present study was to explore the wound healing properties and to assess the safety of the seaweed and Enhanced cell proliferation and cell migration activities were observed in L929 cells treated with extract compared to extract treated cells and the control group. In-vivo experiments were conducted using five groups (10 in each) of Albino mice (BALB/c).

Lipin-1 Deficiency-Associated Recurrent Rhabdomyolysis and Exercise-Induced Myalgia Persisting into Adulthood: A Case Report and Review of Literature.

Phosphatidate phosphatase-1 (lipin-1) is encoded by gene. Lipin-1 deficiency has been reported as the second most common cause of early-onset rhabdomyolysis after primary fatty acid oxidation disorders. We report a case of a 32-year-old Sri Lankan female with a history of more than 10 episodes of rhabdomyolysis and exercise intolerance since childhood.

Preliminary screening of the aqueous extracts of twenty-three different seaweed species in Sri Lanka with and assays.

Background: Seaweeds are an important source of bioactive compounds which are applied in various aspects of medicinal investigations. The present study was conducted to investigate cytoxicity ( and ) and wound healing activity of different seaweed species in Sri Lanka.

Methods: Twenty-three seaweed samples, belonging to Phaeophyta (Brown), Chlorophyta (Green) and Rhodophyta (Red) were used for the experiments.

Experimental rat model for acute tubular injury induced by high water hardness and high water fluoride: efficacy of primary preventive intervention by distilled water administration.

Background: High water hardness associated with high water fluoride and the geographical distribution of Chronic Kidney Disease of unknown etiology (CKDu) in Sri Lanka are well correlated. We undertook this study to observe the effects of high water hardness with high fluoride on kidney and liver in rats and efficacy of distilled water in reducing the effects.

Methods: Test water sample with high water hardness and high fluoride was collected from Mihinthale region and normal water samples were collected from Kandy region.
