VKAs (Warfarin & Acenocoumarol) are highly effective in reducing the risk of stroke in patients with AF, but bleeding issues & disutility sparked the development of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) or NOACs (Novel oral anticoagulants). These drugs, offer the convenience of once or twice daily dosing without the need for laboratory monitoring of coagulation activity (PT/ INR) or routine dose adjustment. Various clinical trials proved their non-inferiority to warfarin (VKA) in reducing the risk of stroke or systemic embolism, and each was associated with markedly lower rates of ICH than well-adjusted warfarin. Yet there are no direct head-to-head comparative trials for the efficacy & safety of NOACs. In this review we try to provide patient centric approach to assist Indian physicians in selecting right OAC therapy for SPAF with respect to best possible evidence and recommendations available worldwide.","PeriodicalId":13313,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology","volume":"51 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85438170","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Polyherbal formulations enhance the therapeutic action and reduce the concentrations of single herbs, thereby reducing adverse events. In the present study, the clastogenic effect of carwin capsuleshas been evaluated against cyclophosphamide (CP)-induced chromosomal aberrations in the bone marrow cells of the mice. Genotoxicity was carried out in mouse bone marrow cells. Animals were divided into four groups each containing four animals. Group I (control) was treated orally with vehicle (acacia suspension- 1ml/100gm), Group II was treated i.p. with cyclophosphamide (50 mg/kg, bw.), Group III was treated orally with carwin alone (1.5 mg/animal, bsa.), and Group IV was treated with cyclophosphamide + carwin. Animals were pretreated for 7 days with test drug (carwin). The evaluating parameter was to count total number of aberrated chromosomes and its various types. The results demonstrate that carwin was found to be significant (P<0.01) as compared to cyclophosphamide treated as the no. of total aberrated chromosomes in carwin treated was decreased effectively. And also carwin was able to significantly (P<0.01) protect the action caused by cyclophosphamide as well was also found to be effective antigenotoxic (P<0.01) as compared to cyclophosphamide, when total no. of aberrated cells and their types were scored. Therefore, the results suggest a genotoxic potential of carwin capsules.","PeriodicalId":13313,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88590207","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A total of 120 midstream urine samples of pregnant women were collected aseptically and cultured on different growth media. The isolated bacteria were identified by standard microbiological procedure and the antibiotic susceptibility pattern was recorded using Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method. Out of 120 urine samples, 78 samples tested positive for UTI suggesting that (65%) of pregnant women suffered from UTI and most prevalent bacterial pathogen was (41.0%) followed by (23.0%), (11.5%), (14.1%) and (10.2%). Majority of the isolated uropathogens were showing high sensitivity towards Doripenem, Meropenem and Imipenem while very less sensitivity towards Ampicillin and Penicillin.
