In present study, antidiabetic potential of Onosma hispidum roots were assessed in diabetic animal models. O hispidum roots exhibited antihyperglycemic and antihyperlipidemic effects. In addition, histopathological investigation revealed pancreatic beta cells regeneration activity by plant roots.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To investigate the antihyperglycemic, antihyperlipidemic and pancreatic beta cells regeneration potentials of Onosma hispidum (ratanjot) root extracts in alloxan-induced diabetic rabbits.

Living Donor Kidney Transplantation: The Donor Profile in Trinidad and Tobago

Issue:

Vol 61, issue 3 (2012)

Pages:

290–4

Synopsis:

A National Kidney Transplant Programme was started in Trinidad and Tobago in January 2006. Kidneys were procured from mainly living donors. This study looks at the profile and short-term outcomes of 60 consecutive living donors from start to May 2010.

ABSTRACT

Objective: The National Organ Transplant Unit (NOTU) of Trinidad and Tobago, first implemented in January 2006, was mandated to facilitate renal and corneal transplantation. Since then, 60 transplants have been performed utilizing living kidney donors. The aim of this study is to ascertain the typical donor profile and to highlight the safety involved with live kidney donation.

Synopsis:

The prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in acute hospital admissions is 20.9% with 11.7% of admissions having chronic symptoms with normal spirometry. There was significant co-morbidity with vascular disease.

ABSTRACT

Objectives: To determine the proportion of adult medical patients who have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), using the Global initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease guidelines (GOLD), and its relation to vascular disease.

Methods: This is a prospective cross-sectional study of adult patients admitted to acute medical wards. Interviewer administered questionnaire, anthropometric and spirometric measurements were done.
