Despite its historical prominence, Neocidol, classified as a non-systemic organophosphate, exerts its effects by inhibiting cholinesterase, a pivotal enzyme in nerve transmission. In light of the widespread use of Neocidol in Libya and the absence of local studies, this research endeavors to assess its impact on blood parameters and the biochemistry of female white mice. The study involves prolonged tests wherein a sublethal concentration of 15 µl Neocidol per kg of body weight is introduced through the mice's drinking water. Toxicity assessments reveal noteworthy distinctions in various blood parameters between treated and untreated mice. Treated mice exhibit elevated leukocyte and erythrocyte values, coupled with diminished MCHC and MCV values. While blood chemistry results generally align between the control and treatment groups, an exception is observed in the form of heightened Alk-phosphatase values in treated mice. In summary, despite Neocidol's historical favorability in agricultural and public health pest control, this study underscores emerging criticisms concerning its identified health and environmental implications.","PeriodicalId":497826,"journal":{"name":"Open access research journal of life sciences","volume":"12 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140361638","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}

One trial is testing a personalized mRNA vaccine in combination with an immune checkpoint inhibitor in patients with advanced head and neck cancer.

Five hundred and thirty-three (533) samples on the weight of an infant, maternal age and gravida sourced from Family Support Programme (FSP) Makurdi Benue State, Nigeria was used. Maternal age was divided into five (14-19, 20-25, 26-31, 32-37 and 38-43); the level of gravida (number of pregnancies) considered are gravida one (1), gravida two (2), gravida three (3) and gravida four (number of pregnancies greater than or equal to four). The results revealed that significant difference exist between the maternal age as it relates to the weight of an infant since the p_value of 0.0001 is less than 0.05 alpha level of significance. Significant difference was also seen in gravida since the p_value of 0.0001 is less than 0.05 alpha level of significance. As a result of significant difference observed in both maternal age and gravida, multiple mean comparison was carried out to identify the mean weight that actually differs. It was discovered that the mean weight of an infant in gravida four (4) is different from that of gravida one (1) and two (2), in addition, gravida 3 and 1 were statistically significant.

Thus, its dissolution represents a limiting step in the drug absorption process which directly affects the bioavailability of the drug. Oral Dispersible tablets (ODTs) of nimesulide overcome the problem related to dissolution by enhancing the rate of dissolution by decreasing the disintegration time and making it easy to administer to patients who refuse to swallow a tablet. In the present study, different formulations of nimesulide were prepared to vary the concentration of superdisintegrants: crospovidone, croscarmellose sodium, sodium starch glycolate along with other excipients: PVP K-30, Aerosil, Mannitol, and Magnesium stearate by direct compression method. Precompression and post-compression parameters were evaluated and also the effect of different concentrations of superdisintegrants on the release profile of Nimesulide ODT was studied. The final data revealed that a combination of 10% crospovidone and 8.33% SSG i.e. formulation B4 was found best combination with the lowest dispersion time of 40 seconds, lowest disintegration time of 19.16 seconds, and lowest wetting time of 15 seconds as compared to other formulations. All other studied parameters were found to be satisfactory for all ODT formulations for Nimesulide. It was concluded that Nimesulide can be successfully formulated as oral dispersible tablets using various superdisintegrants in different concentrations by direct compression method. The optimized batch can be subjected to real-time and accelerated stability studies to determine the shelf life for commercial use.","PeriodicalId":497826,"journal":{"name":"Open access research journal of life sciences","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136132825","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}
