OBJECTIVE To investigate the efficacy of ethanolic extract of nilavembu kudineer choornam (EENKC) in inflammation, pain and fever using animal models to support its actions. METHODS Acute toxicity study of EENKC was performed in mice to fix the effective dose. The antipyretic, anti-inflammatory and

Five patients who developed a fever of undetermined origin during hospitalization are discussed. No infection was found in any of these patients. Occurrence of fever was temporally related to intramuscular (im) analgesic injections. In four cases damage of subcutaneous tissue was evident, and in two

Transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 (TRPV1) is a ligand-gated ion channel that functions as an integrator of multiple pain stimuli including heat, acid, capsaicin and a variety of putative endogenous lipid ligands. TRPV1 antagonists have been shown to decrease inflammatory pain in animal

METHODS A 17-year-old patient was admitted to the hospital because of fever, shivering and odynophagia. After a pathologic fracture of the neck of the femur because of a preexisting bone cyst he had been taking a combined analgetic therapy with tilidin, metamizole and diclofenac for three weeks.

The present study was designed to investigate the anti-pyretic and analgesic activity of ethanol (EEO) and aqueous (AEO) extracts of Emblica officinalis fruits in several experimental models. A single oral dose of EEO and AEO (500 mg/kg, i.p.) showed significant reduction in brewer's yeast induced

Fever, which is arbitrary defined as an increase in body temperature above 38.3°C, can affect up to 90% of patients admitted in intensive care unit. Induction of fever is mediated by the release of pyrogenic cytokines (tumor necrosis factor α, interleukin 1, interleukin 6, and interferons). Fever is

This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of several analgesic regimens for use after intraperitoneal implantation of telemetry transmitters in mice. The lengths of time required for postoperative recovery of food and water intake, locomotor activity, and core temperature of mice that did not

A young women ingested large amounts of different analgesics, mainly salicylate and paracetamol. On admission about 17 hours later, clearly toxic serum levels of both drugs were demonstrated. She was comatose with respiratory failure for 5 days. During the first day there was a period of several

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of weekly intravenous (IV) colchicine, in addition to oral colchicine therapy, in a subset of patients with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) unresponsive to oral colchicine prophylaxis. METHODS Thirteen patients with frequent FMF attacks, despite oral

The pharmacological activities of the n -butanol alkaloids extracted from the stem bark of Hunteria zeylanica (Retz) Gardn. ex Thw. ( H. zeylanica ) and its major constituent, strictosidinic acid, on nociceptive response using writhing and hot plate tests, the antipyretic activity in yeast-induced

1 A series of peptides derived from porcine lipotropin was examined for analgesic and other morphine-like properties on infusion into the cannulated third ventricle of cats.2 Lipotropin (LPH 1-91) itself produced no analgesia or other morphine-like effects when infused in a dose of 150 mug.3
