The efficacy of Cyproheptadine, a serotonin antagonist, in preventing the cerebral ischemic damage was tested on experimental model of transient global cerebral ischemia in Mongolian Gerbil. The semi-quantitative histological evaluation of the severity of ischemic damage showed a protective effect of Cyproheptadine, mainly in the anterior cortical areas.

Backgrounds & Aim: Spermatic cord rotation is a common problem in the field of urology, that finally results in necrosis of testicular tissue as well as male infertility. Rupatadine (RUP); a second-generation antihistaminic drug; demonstrated to have a possible protective effect in variable ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) rat models, but its role has not been studied yet in testicular I/R model.
Material & Methods: The present study investigated RUP ability to ameliorate testicular I/R injury.

Article Synopsis
- * Patients were split into two groups: one received both antiplatelet therapy (cilostazol and dipyridamole) and antihistamine, while the other group only received antihistamine for four weeks.
- * Results showed that the antiplatelet group had a significantly greater reduction in Urticaria Activity Scores, improved quality of life, and decreased D-dimer levels, suggesting the combination treatment is more effective for certain CSU patients.
6-Carboxycellulose Acetate Butyrate: Effectiveness as an Amorphous Solid Dispersion Polymer.

Amorphous solid dispersion (ASD) in a polymer matrix is a powerful method for enhancing the solubility and bioavailability of otherwise crystalline, poorly water-soluble drugs. 6-Carboxycellulose acetate butyrate (CCAB) is a relatively new commercial cellulose derivative that was introduced for use in waterborne coating applications. As CCAB is an amphiphilic, carboxyl-containing, high glass transition temperature () polymer, characteristics essential to excellent ASD polymer performance, we chose to explore its ASD potential.

Article Synopsis
- Intestinal mucosal mast cells play a critical role in ulcerative colitis (UC) by increasing histamine levels, making histamine inhibition a potential treatment strategy.
- The study explored the repurposing of the antihistamine desloratadine (DES) for UC in a rat model of TNBS-induced colitis, examining its therapeutic effects alone and in combination with the standard drug 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA).
- Results showed that both DES and the combination with 5-ASA significantly reduced inflammation, improved colon health, and lowered key inflammatory biomarkers, indicating promise for DES as a treatment option for UC.
Inoculation of heavy metal resistant bacteria alleviated heavy metal-induced oxidative stress biomarkers in spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.).

Most vegetable crops are severely affected by the uptake of heavy metals from the soil. Heavy metals in vegetable bodies generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) that unbalance the antioxidant defense system. This study was initiated to determine the physiological and biochemical characteristics of spinach plants grown on soil contaminated with heavy metals and responding to Bacillus cereus and Bacillus aerius were isolated from soil contaminated with heavy metals.
