This study aimed to reveal and verify the effect of water fraction of avocado leaves extract against output of rat urine. Three different doses of leaf extract of avocado prepared i.e., 91.125mg/kg BW, 182.25 mg/kg BW and 364.5 mg/kg BW. The urinary parameters assessed were the urine volume hourly for 6 hours, urine color density and urine pH. The results showed water fraction of avocado at the dose of 182.25 and 364.5 mg/kg significantly increase urine volume in comparison to the negative control. Urine color density scores varied but did not have a dependent manner that follows the dose levels of diuretics given. However all treatments showed no statistical difference in the urine pH. Thus, it can be conclude that the water fraction of avocado leaves extract potentially for diuretic herb without make significant changes on pH.","PeriodicalId":244449,"journal":{"name":"South Asian Research Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences","volume":" 28","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141128858","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}

Migraine is associated with a wide range of comorbidities, which range from stress and sleep disturbances to suicide. The complex and largely unclear mechanisms of migraine development have resulted in the proposal of various social and biological risk factors, such as hormonal imbalances, genetic and epigenetic influences, as well as cardiovascular, neurological, and autoimmune diseases. Experimental findings suggest an involvement of neuroinflammatory mechanisms in the pathophysiology of migraine. Specifically, preclinical models of migraine have emphasized the role of neuroinflammation following the activation of the trigeminal pathway at several peripheral and central sites including dural vessels, the trigeminal ganglion, and the trigeminal nucleus caudalis. The evidence of an induction of inflammatory events in migraine pathophysiological mechanisms has prompted researchers to investigate the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) phenotypes as well as cytokine genetic polymorphisms in order to verify their potential relationship with migraine risk and severity. Furthermore, the role of neuroinflammation in migraine seems to be supported by evidence of an increase in pro-inflammatory cytokines, both ictally and interictally, together with the prevalence of Th1 lymphocytes and a reduction in regulatory lymphocyte subsets in peripheral blood of migraineurs. Cytokine profiles of cluster headache (CH) patients and those of tension-type headache patients further suggest an immunological dysregulation in the pathophysiology of these primary headaches, although evidence is weaker than for migraine.","PeriodicalId":244449,"journal":{"name":"South Asian Research Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences","volume":" 41","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141128959","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}

Hypothyroidism is a disorder in which the thyroid gland fails to produce enough thyroid hormone to maintain normal physiological function. The prevalence of hypothyroidism varies substantially worldwide and is more common in populations with a relatively high iodine intake or severe iodine deficiency, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, inflammation of the thyroid, congenital hypothyroidism, hypothyroidism that is present from birth, iodine deficiency or excess, as well as diseases of the pituitary gland or hypothalamus, are the most frequent causes of hypothyroidism. Objective: The study aims to investigate the relationship between some vitamins and hypothyroidism in Iraqi patients. Subjects and Methods: This is a case-control study, manipulated from the first of March to the end May of 2023, 90 samples aged (18-70) years old, from Baghdad City, were selected and divided them into two groups. The first group consists of 60 people infected with hypothyroidism. The second group (control group) consists of 30 apparently healthy people. Blood samples were assessed for serum vitamin B12, and vitamin B9 using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay technique. Results: The study showed that the level of vitamin B12 and folate B9 in hypothyroidism patients significantly lower compared to control group (p value < 0.001).

Judging from the prevalence, from 2020-2022 it has indeed decreased but not yet resolved perfectly. Cupping therapy is a therapy recommended by the Prophet in which blood is extracted using a cup and a suction cup in the skin area which is incised 1 cm wide and 4 mm deep, so that it penetrates the epidermal layer of the skin, and because of the difference in pressure, the blood is pulled out of the peripheral blood vessels as much as 50-300 ml in 5 minutes and will cause a red or black rash. This series of therapies will eventually lead to healing as predicted by the Prophet Muhammad in his hadith with the permission of Allah ta'ala Research Objectives: To know the effect of wet cupping therapy on reducing pain in sufferers of Low Back Pain in the working area of Bonto Bangun, Bulukumba. The research design is true experimental. The sample is 16 people in the treatment group, and 16 people in the control group. The sampling technique is Simple Random sampling. The research was carried out in July 2022 in Bonto Bangun District, Bulukumba Regency. The results of the study are the pain scale before carrying out wet cupping therapy in the treatment group with a scale of 4.50 and the control group with a scale of 5.50. There was a difference in the pain scale after carrying out wet cupping therapy, namely in the treatment group it was 3.00 while in the control group it was 6.00. The results of the mean withney test obtained a value of p = 0.01 (smaller than the value of a = 0.05).

It affects more than 90% of all diabetic patients. Diabetes is a complex illness that is brought on by a number of genetic and environmental (diet and lifestyle) risk factors working together. On average, one person dies from diabetes-related complications every eight seconds throughout the world. Also, according to a recent International Diabetic Federation (IDF) survey, 537 million persons aged 20-79 years are now living with diabetes worldwide. It is expected to increase to 783 million (12.2%) by 2045. Furthermore, 240 million individuals globally have undiagnosed diabetes. Therefore, there is a rising interest in studying the possible therapeutic value of fat-soluble micronutrients like vitamin D for preventing or controlling type 2 diabetes mellitus. Aim of Study: The present study was designed to evaluate levels of vitamin D in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Patients and Methods: To achieve this aim, in a case-control study conducted in Diyala governorate at Baqubah Teaching Hospital and Balad Ruz General Hospital from first of January to the end of March 2023, the study included 60 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (30 males and 30 females). On the other hand, 30 people as a control group of both sexes (15 males and 15 females) were taken, and the ages of the two groups ranged between 30 and 65 years. The information about patients in this study was retrieved from the patients themselves through a direct interview with them, according to a prepared questionnaire. In the present study, blood samples were collected from each participant for estimation of vitamin D by (ELISA), HbA1c by (Cobas), lipid profile by (colorimetric methods) and calculated BMI. Results: The mean ± Standard Deviation (SD) of vitamin D levels for the type 2 diabetes group were (11.16± 2.18) ng /ml, with a highly significant decrease (p < 0.001) when compared with control group (20.73± 3.64) ng /ml. The mean ± SD of HbA1c level for the type 2 diabetes group was (8.88± 1.86) %, with a highly significant increase (p < 0.001) when compared with control (5.59 0.45) %.
