Effect of grilled meat supplemented with cinnamon, green coffee and cardamom on serum liver function of obese rats
Get PDFObesity has become a global epidemic, and it is a major risk factor for other metabolic disorders such as type 2 diabetes and cardiometabolic disease. Dietary protein is effective for body-weight management. This study aimed to investigate the effect of grilled meat supplemented with cinnamon, green coffee and cardamom on serum liver function of obese rats. Fourty-two adult male rats weighing approximately (150 ± 5 g.) fed on basal diet for one week for adaptation. After this week rats divided into two main groups; the first main group (6 rats) fed on basal diet (as a control negative group), The second main group (36 rat) fed on high fat diet for four weeks then divided as follows: Subgroup (1) fed on high fat diet (as a control positive group). Subgroups (2) fed on high fat diet containing half amount of protein from grilled meat without any supplementation. Subgroups (3) fed on high fat diet containing half amount of protein from grilled meat supplemented with 5% cinnamon. Subgroups (4) fed on high fat diet containing half amount of protein from grilled meat with 5% green coffee. 
Preparation of molybdenum nanoparticles using cold plasma as antibacterial
Get PDFIn this paper, molybdenum nanoparticles (Mo NPs) were prepared by cold plasma method with different concentrations and time constant. Some structural tests were performed using X-ray diffraction (XRD). and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Average crystal size is variable. Effect of the prepared nanomaterial on the growth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria. The results of those tests showed that the prepared substance at concentrations of (1.5 and 2) mM when exposed to plasma (12 min). As the results of their assays showed the polycrystalline structure of all samples of the cubic structure, the results also showed that the average crystal size changes directly with the change of concentration. On the other hand, the results of this research showed that Gram-negative bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa) were resistant to Mo NPs prepared at a concentration of (1.5 and 2) mM at dilutions (0.5, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32). ). But at dilution 64, there was little inhibition of its growth

Rereading of William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet: A psychological approach
Get PDFPsychology and literature are interconnected in more ways than one. In plays and novels, the characters are expected to be “psychologically true”. Readers may model their lives up on the patterns of play or on the lives of fictional heroes and heroines. Young readers are often more strongly influenced this way. William Shakespeare’s works lead to such psychological influences in one way or the other. One of William Shakespeare’s best psychological works Romeo and Juliet, written in the 1500s is the tragic story of two ‘star-crossed lovers ‘who were led towards death because of their psychological trauma and their immaturity. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the psychology of teenagers in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet- their emotions, moods, sensations, immature thoughts - which lead to their mental stress and tragic end and also to examine the psychological aspects of other minor characters in the play
An updated overview: Drug carriers used for the targeted delivery system
Get PDFIn this high-tech era, the targeted drug delivery system has various progressions in the delivery of cancerous drugs. In the current review, the main purpose is to address the valuable needs of a targeted drug delivery system in all aspects of the safety and therapeutic delivery of drugs. The main objective is to introduce the drug carriers with their benefits. The targeted drug delivery system is superior to the traditional drug delivery system because they overcome the pros and cons and deliver the dosage form at the targeted site without exhibiting any side effects. The positive benefit of this system is that they reduce the dose dumping and provides the optimized delivery of drugs. The current review article elaborates on the different drug carriers used in the targeted drug delivery system such as liposomes, microspheres, and nanoparticles with their importance, merits, and demerits. This article mainly concentrates on the applications and some other important facts related to the targeted drug delivery carriers
Thiopentone sodium versus propofol for anaesthesia in modified electro-convulsive therapy (ECT)
Get PDF
Objectives: To compare the effects of thiopentone sodium and propofol as an intravenous anaesthetic agent in modified ECT. Methods: 100 patients of ASA I & II grade were randomly assigned in to two groups. Both groups were premedicated in ususal manner. Patients in Group A were induced with inj. thiopentone sodium 3-5mg/kg and in Group B inj. Propofol 1.5-2mg/kg. Then, Inj. Succinyl choline 0.5-1mg/kg was given. Patients were ventilated with 100% oxygen with bain circuit and mask. Shock was given after putting bite block. Patients were again ventilated till spontaneous respiration after seizures. Results: Propofol is better induction agent as compared to thiopentone sodium in terms of faster induction, better haemodynaemic stability, no significant effect on seizure duration, early recovery without any side effects. Conclusion: Propofol in the dosage of 1.5-2 mg/kg body weight intravenously can be safely used for modified ECT in ASA grade I and II pateints. Fast, smooth induction, better hemodynamics, early smooth recovery, antiemetic property and uncompromised therapeutic outcome makes propofol as an agent of choice for day care procedure. Though there is reduced seizure duration with Propofol as compared to thiopentone, there is no effect on outcome of the therapy or effectiveness of ECT

Sarad Agung on ceremony in Kehen Bangli Temple
Get PDFThe ceremony performed by Hindus requires offerings. At the odalan ceremony at the Kehen Bangli Temple, a large offering of Sarad is used, which is different from the Sarad in the South Bali region. Sarad Agung is researched through three problem formulations: 1) the reason for using Sarad Agung; 2) the form of the sarad agung and its relation to the ceremonies and accompanying ceremonies; and 3) the implications of the great remembrance in the lives of Hindus. Theory of Religion, Theory of Dynamic Structuralism, and Theory of Three Forms of Culture are used to dissect each of these problems. In this qualitative research, the data were collected using observation techniques, in-depth interviews, and document studies. Data analysis is divided into intrinsic and extrinsic analysis. There are three types of skids, namely Sarad Alit, Sarad Ngadeg, Sarad Agung around Kehen Temple. The reason for using the grand sard is directed at the Religious Theory which is broken down into theological, cosmological, mythological, psychological, sociological, and symbolic reasons. Intrinsic study: the structure of the great skid consists of three parts, namely the legs, body, and head. The elements refer to the contents of the three layers of nature, the Tri Loka
An epidemiological investigation of insomnia: A survey
Get PDFSleep is commonly defined as a state in which physical activities and sensory perception are greatly reduced, and it is frequently associated with our body's recuperative period. However, research has shown that sleep is also required for other vital processes such as memory consolidation and normal physiological functioning. Extensive research has shown that the areas that control our sleeping behaviour are the hypothalamus, brain stem, midbrain, and amygdala. These areas coordinate events during the non-REM and REM phases of sleep-wake cycles. GABA and adenosine, two chemical neurotransmitters, are also involved and play an important role in our sleep cycle. Insomnia has caused a slew of psychological and physiological issues such as fatigue, decreased mental concentration, irritable nature and a higher risk of heart attacks and stroke. It has reduced the patient's quality of life of the patient and have a social impact on them. Primary insomnia is defined as the inability/absence of proper sleep and impaired daily life functioning. Secondary insomnia, on the other hand, is believed to result from pre-existing medical conditions, substance abuse, or as a side effect of certain drug therapy. Insomnia is diagnosed through physical examination and the use of electrical devices to monitor sleep behavior.
