Diabetes III: a Cause of Alzheimer’s Disease 

INTRODUCTION

Type III diabetes also known as hybrid or double diabetes is a new and dangerous phenomenon. It is found that type III Diabetes affects brain insulin levels, and appears to be one of the major causes of Alzheimer's disease . Insulin receptors in the brain are sensitive to particles known as ADDL's.

Anti-Diarrheal Activity of Ethanolic Extract of Calotropis Procera R. Br. Roots

Calotropis procera R. Br. (Asclepidaceae) is a shrub which widely distribute in the world. The plant is used in the treatment of many disease and disorder both in humans and veterinary application. The present work was undertaken to investigate the anti-diarrhoeal activity of ethanolic extract of root (200 mg/kg BW) of Calotropis procera against castor oil induced diarrhoea in experimental animal and was found to be significant results.

A New Method for the Development of Escherichia Coli Resisitant Against Antibiotic Ampicillin

Bacteria are like living paint, covering nearly every surface imaginable and living within a variety of living and nonliving things. An antibiotic is any substance produced by a microorganism, which harms or kills another microorganism. However, antibiotics do not harm viruses. A majority of antibiotic substances are natural products that certain bacteria and fungi produce as a natural defense to send outside their cells.

Development and Evaluation of Controlled Release Mucoadhesive Tablets of Tramadol Hydrochloride

The present investigation concerns the development of mucoadhesive tablets of Tramadol Hydrochloride which were designed to prolong the gastric residence time after oral administration. Tablets of Tramadol Hydrochloride were formulated using four mucoadhesive polymers namely guar gum, xanthan gum, HPMC K15M and HPMC K100M and carried out studies for its evaluation parameters. Formulations F15 and F16 containing polymers of Xanthan gum, HPMC K100M and HPMC K15M were established to be the optimum formulation since it shows optimum bioadhesive force, swelling index & desired evaluation standards. Further investigations are needed to confirm the in vivo efficiency, long term stability studies are needed to stabilize the controlled released formulations.
