Permeation profiles of resveratrol cream delivered through porcine vaginal mucosa: Evaluation of different HPLC stationary phases.

Trans-resveratrol affects biological systems in a multitude of ways, but its oral bioavailability is remarkably poor due to in vivo metabolization. This drawback has fomented the development of new strategies for systemic delivery, such as transmucosal delivery via the vaginal route, which is our main focus here. In this sense, our pioneering study purposed to evaluate the trans-resveratrol permeation efficacy through this route.

An observational retrospective/horizontal study to compare oxygen-ozone therapy and/or global postural re-education in complicated chronic low back pain.

Acute low back pain (LBP) is the fifth most common reason for physician visits and about nine out of ten adults experience back pain at some point in their life. In a large number of patients LBP is associated with disc herniation (DH). Recently, oxygen-ozone (O2O3) therapy has been used successfully in the treatment of LBP, reducing pain after the failure of other conservative treatments.

The present session of the French Society of History of Medicine hold in Bourges, on June, 18, 2005 is an accomplishment of the wish of this child of Bourges, the capital of Berry.

[Biological and chemical risks in haemodialysis centres].

Haemodialysis technique was introduced in 1965 for people afflicted to chronic renal insufficiency, permitting them to survive. The method purifies patient blood who is connected to the equipment by tubes. The equipment uses saline solutions and water and it operates by osmotic pressure and by filtration.

[Primary biliary cirrhosis with onset in pregnancy: a case report].

A case of primary biliary cirrhosis occurred during the first quarter of pregnancy in a 29-years-old primipara is described. Possible relationships with a former anti-hepatitis B vaccination and with positive familiarity reduction of IgA are discussed. Follow-up to the patient after two years therapy with colchicine 1 mg a day is also described.
