PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF USING POWER-ENHANCING DRUGS ON GYM-EXERCISING INDIVIDUALS
Exercising in a gym, largely aimed at getting a better-shaped body, is a long and tiring process. So many people opt for power enhancing drugs, boosting their athletic performance. These include steroids, erythropoietin, creatine, protein and zinc supplements among others. Together with increasing the muscle bulk, they exert highly undesirable effects on normal physiology. The subjects were asked ...

SPECTROFLUORIMETRIC DETERMINATION OF TOLTERODINE TARTARATE IN PURE FORM AND PHARMACEUTICAL PREPARATION
A Simple, rapid, sensitive, accurate and precise spectrofluorimetric method was developed for the determination of tolterodine tartrate (TOL) in bulk powder and in pharmaceutical preparation. This method is based on measuring the native fluorescence of TOL in methanol at 313 nm after excitation at 285 nm using 1 ml of phosphate buffer pH 6. All variables that affect fluorescence intensity such as ...

ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY OF ETHANOL AND AQUEOUS EXTRACTS OF PARINARI CURATELLIFOLIA (STEM) ON DENTAL CARIES CAUSING MICROBES
Antimicrobial activity of ethanol and aqueous extracts of Parinari curatellifolia (stem) were tested against five dental carries causing bacteria and three fungi strains by agar diffusion method. The crude extracts showed a broad spectrum of antibacterial activity inhibiting the five strains of bacteria and the three fungi. The extracts were most effective against Aspergilusflavus, followed by Str...

COMPARATIVE STUDY OF OVERLAPPING GENES IN THE GENOMES OF MYCOPLASMA HOMINIS AND MYCOPLASMA PENETRANS
Overlapping genes are pairs of adjacent genes whose coding regions are partially or entirely overlapping. Overlapping genes in prokaryotes are a means to minimize genome size and increase the density of genetic information. Overlapping genes play an important role in genome reduction of Mycoplasmas during the course of their degenerative evolution. In this study overlapping genes in the genomes of...
