Most pharmacological medications frequently exhibit poor dosage proportionality, significant intra-and inter-subject variability, and limited oral bioavailability when taken orally. It has been estimated that around 40% of innovative medication candidates don't dissolve very well in water. The development of a microemulsion drug delivery system may...

Pancreatectomy is the surgical removal of the pancreas. It may be total or partial. In case of total pancreatectomy whole pancreas is removed and partial mentioning is the elimination of part of the pancreas. For studies on diabetes, a large number of pharmacological agents, various surgical models and animals’ models are used to understand the pat...

This study evaluated the antioxidant, hypoglycemic, antidiabetic and alpha amylase inhibiting activities of Sargassum wightii. Antioxidant activity of ethyl acetate and methanol extracts of this seaweed was evaluated and extract having promising antioxidant activity was further studied for hypoglycaemic and antidiabetic activity in normal and allox...

Seaweeds have proved to be exceptional resources of nutrients and secondary metabolites. The present study was designed to evaluate the antioxidant, hypoglycaemic and antidiabetic activities of some seaweeds of east coast of India namely Gracilaria verrucosa, Enteromorpha compressa, Ulva fasciata and Turbinaria conoides. Petroleum ether, ethyl acet...

This study was undertaken to evaluate the antidiabetic effect of edible seaweeds Sargassum wightii and Ulva fasciata with an objective to establish these seaweeds as add-on therapy for controlling diabetes. The ethyl acetate extract of Sargassum wightii (EAS) and Ulva fasciata (EAU) at 100 and 200 mg/kg dose was examined for antidiabetic activity i...

The present investigation was designed to study the effect of isoflavone rich extract of soya seeds on endurance capacity and glucose utilization in streptozotocin-nicotinamide induced type 2 diabetic rat model. Isoflavone rich extract of soya seed (EES) (100 mg/kg p.o.) was administered daily for six weeks to diabetic rats. Biochemical parameters,...

Seaweeds (marine macro algae) are extremely important oceanic resource having unique secondary metabolites. They have the potential for supporting industrial development as being source of many essential substances such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, nutritional supplements etc. Seaweeds offer a wide range of therapeutic possibilities was establish...

In this paper, finite element method (FEM) is implemented to determine the effective thermal conductivity of aluminum nitride (AlN) particulate filled epoxy matrix composites. A commercially available finite-element package ANSYS is used for this numerical analysis. Three-dimensional spheres-in-cube and cubes-in-cube lattice array models are constr...

A numerical simulation of the heat-transfer process within epoxy matrix composites filled with solid glass beads (SGB) is made by using finite element analysis (FEA). A commercially available finite-element package ANSYS is used for this numerical analysis. Three-dimensional spheres-in-cube lattice array models are constructed to simulate the micro...

The aim of the present study was to determine the anthelmintic activity of crude extracts and different fractions from leaves, barks and flowers of Pterospermum Acerifolium Linn. Anthelmintic activity of crude extracts and fractions were investigated against earthworms (Pheretima posthuma), roundworms (Ascardia galli) and tapeworms (Raillietina spi...

Summary Five strains ofTrichophyton mentagrophytes were isolated, four from guinea pigs and one from rabbit. The symptoms of the disease were studied. The morphological characters and the pathogenicity of the isolates were studied in detail. The significance of the findings is discussed.

A case of maduromycotic mycetoma caused by Madurella mycetomi is reported from a Punjab village near Delhi, an area from which cases of mycetoma have not been previously reported. Clinical, laboratory, and radiographic studies established the diagnosis. It is thought likely that occasional cases may exist in the rural areas of this part of the coun...

180 samples collected from different types of soils were examined for presence of dermatophytes. 17 strains ofM. gypseum isolated from these samples were studied for their morphology, perfect stage formation and animal pathogenicity. Two isolates could be induced to produce perfect stage,Nannizia incurvata and only one isolate was pathogenic to gui...
