Evaluation of Anti-Stroke Drugs
Stroke, also known as transient ischemic attack or cerebrovascular accident, is an acute brain disease. Usually, a sudden rupture of a blood vessel in the brain or a blockage of a blood vessel that prevents blood from flowing to the brain can cause damage to brain tissue, resulting in a stroke. Long-term strokes can lead to brain damage, disability and even death. The brain serves as a ...

Association between Diabetes Mellitus and chronic kidney disease with Muscle loss and weight loss
Muscle loss / muscle wasting is the condition in which, proteolytic systems for protein degradation are activated, while protein synthesis decreases, thereby resulting in muscle fiber shrinkage. This condition may be due age or might be due some chronic conditions like Diabetes mellitus (DM) or chronic kidney disease (CKD). Extreme muscle wasting often results in weight loss. Such a condition is ...

High Frequency Jet Ventilation (HFJV) In Mature Infants With NonHomogeneous Lung Disease And Severe Gas Trapping
Infants with gas trapping are difficult to manage with conventional ventilation (CMV). HFJV has been used successfully in infants with severe gas trapping. The techniques used during HFJV in this situation are often described as a "low volume strategy". However, there is little published data to indicate optimal ventilator settings, both Jet and conventional, to achieve these aims. During HFJV ...
