According to CIA director Leon Pannetta, “the only game in town in terms of confronting or trying to disrupt the al Qaeda leadership” is through the use of drones. Drones are not only useful, but also necessary when it comes to capturing terrorist on the wanted list, such as Osama bin Laden, who live and hide in the…

condition which was observed by decreased levels of antioxidant enzyme levels in the present study and the drug treatment doesn’t show any noticeable effect on these parameters. Authors have hypothesized that observed effect may be due to the effect on GLP-1 agonistic activity and the evident was not shown to claim for this activity. The present…
Alpha 1-Antitrypsin Deficiency Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency is caused by mutations in the serpina1 gene on chromosome 14. The serpina1 gene codes for the Alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) enzyme which is a protein that protects the lungs, and is made in the liver.This deficiency occurs when there is a lack of a protein in the blood called alpha-1 antitrypsin. Without the protection of this protein, the lungs are more sepetable to be attacked by neutrophil elastase. Neutrophil elastase is an enzyme…
Rufinamide (Banzel) was designated as an orphan drug for use in the treatment of seizures that are caused by Lennox—Gastaut syndrome in patients older than four in 2004 by the FDA (Food and Drug Adminsitration).¬¬¬¬¬1 Lennox—Gastaut syndrome (LGS) is a epileptic disease, commonly found in children, that is characterized a high rate of injury from seizures as well as a wide range of treatment-resistant seizures. In the past treatments were inadequate, leaving patients without much, but after the…
3.1 NATEGLINIDE (Javed et. al., 2013) Nateglinide [N-(trans-4-isopropylcyclohexylcarbonyl)-D-phenylalanine] is a novel, highly physiologic, glucose regulator recently approved for the treatment of type-2 diabetes mellitus. Nateglinide has a rapid onset and short duration of insulinotropic action that results in reduction of glucose level. Nateglinide block the K-ion channels in pancreatic beta-cells, facilitating insulin secretion. In the present investigation formulation and evaluation of…
properly . The defect of body tissues to respond to insulin is believed to involve the insulin receptors but the specific defects are not known . Type 2 daibetes is the most common type of diabetes mellitus . ( Greenspans' basic &clinical endocrinology 9 th ed) . This form was previeously referred to as " non insulin –dependent diabetes mellitus" (NIDDM ) or "adult – onset diabetes " The primary cause is due lifestyle factors and genetics .(Riserus U 2008 ) . A number of lifestyle factors are…
Objectives: To evaluate the association of glutathione S- transferase mu 1 (GST M1) and glutathione S- transferase theta 1 (GST T1) polymorphisms with the development of T1DM and disease-related risk factors. Materials and Methods: The study included 64 diabetic children with T1DM and 41 control subjects. They were subjected to: history taking anthropometric measurements and laboratory parameters included fasting glucose, serum creatinine, lipid profile, HbA1cand evaluation of GST T1 and M1…
eye exams. Educating diabetic patients on the importance of taking care of their diabetes is a crucial part in the process to prevent long term effects of diabetic retinopathy. The population being researched is adults 18 to 75 years of age, with Type 1 diabetes (T1D) and Type 2 diabetes (T2D). Patients had to get one eye exam, A1C tests, and an influenza vaccination that year. The intervention is the group of diabetic patients that were treated had to undergo an educational program to learn the…
Hernandez, M., Mollo, A., Marsal, J. R., Esquerda, A., Capel, I., Puig-Domingo, M., & Mauricio, D. (2015). Insulin secretion in patients with latent autoimmune diabetes (LADA): half way between type 1 and type 2 diabetes: action LADA 9. BMC Endocrine Disorders, 15(1), 1-13. doi:10.1186/1472-6823-15-1. The authors included 95 total participates diagnosed with either LADA (n=32), T1DM (n=33), and T2DM (n-30) between the ages of 30-70 to study the levels of C-peptide and insulin secretion…
