Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssay for Rapid Screening of Phytochemicals as Antimicrobial AgentsGhosh Saurav, Indranil Mukherjee, Ashoke Ranjan Thakur, Shaon Ray ChaudhuriThe present study aims to develop a rapid method for antibiotic sensitivity detection and screening of natural products for antimicrobial activity. The dimension of WBC in blood film was found to get altered when seeded with bacteria and monitored under light microscope. The shrinkage was prevented in response to antibiotic treatment and validated using statistical analysis (two sample one tailed … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 18 Mar 2013 · 8,307 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of Isoflurane and Sevoflurane Anesthesia in Holstein Calves for Placement of Portal and Jugular Vein CannulasGlen Sellers, Hui-Chu Lin, Manuel Felipe Chamorro, Paul Harold WalzIsoflurane and sevoflurane are the two most commonly used inhalation anesthetics in veterinary medicine today. This study compared the anesthetic effects between isoflurane and sevoflurane in 17 calves undergoing surgery for placement of portal and jugular vein cannulas. Using a randomized control trial, calves were assigned to receive sevoflurane or isoflurane. Anesthesia was induced with xylazine and ketamine then maintained … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 2 Jan 2013 · 7,909 accessesView PDFCite

Kilgore et al.Problem statement: Approximately 70% of the total ethnic minority population of Scotland is of South Asian ancestry, although relatively little is known about their cardiovascular risk profile. Determining the risk profiles of Scottish youth of South Asian ancestry may inform the creation of interventions to reduce risk and improve the quality of life in this population. Approach: The purpose of … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 26 Jul 2012 · 7,505 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractErythropoietin-Like Effects of Dihydroartemisinin in Wistar Albino RatsUtoh-Nedosa Uchechukwu Anastasia, Nedosa Kenechi Stanislaus, Onyedibe Ikenna KennethArtemisinin drugs were active during the intra-erythrocytic stage of malaria parasite infection. The activity of artemisinin and synthetic endoperoxides was related to their interaction with heme. The electrophillic intermediate formed from artemisinin in the presence of heme alkylates the protein portion of hemoglobin preferentially to the heme portion. Problem statement: Since there might be an interaction between artemisinin and the … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 9 Dec 2011 · 7,787 accessesView PDFCite
