Anesthesia induction consists of pre-oxygenation, intravenous agent, muscle relaxant which causes apnea for laryngoscopy and intubation. The three commonly used intravenous agents are Ketamine, Propofol and Thiopentone. However, various views have been expressed in relation to oxygen saturation during anesthesia. The study sought to affirm the rate of oxygen desaturation during suxamethonium apnea in relation to the intravenous induction agent used. An observational research design was adopted f...

Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) plays a key
role in down-regulation of insulin and leptin signaling pathways. Therefore,
development of novel inhibitors of PTP1B has becoming research focus in reducing blood sugar levels for Diabetes
Mellitus and Obesity. Hence, we selected two isomer Selaginellins (1 and 2) to
explain and analyze the
binding mechanism of the two potential inhibitors against the PTP1B by molecule
docking a ...

In this article we are going to introduce certain applications of the
theory of neural network to medicine. In particular suppose for a given disease D, belonging to the category of
immune deficiency diseases or cancers, there are numbers of drugs each with
partial remedial effect on D. We are
going to formulate a cocktail consisting of mixture of the above drugs with
optimal remedial effect on D.
