Protein fingerprinting made easy by Croatian scientists
Zagreb, 12.12.2007. - Combining some traditional
experimental methods of molecular biology with computational methods of
artificial intelligence, a group of researchers from Ruđer Bošković
Instititute and Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics from
Zagreb, Croatia, demonstrated a novel approach for producing ‘protein
fingerprints’ of diverse tissues. This result could lead to the
development of new convenient methods in medical diagnostics.

Evaluation of Antimalarial Herbal Drugs
Malaria is an acute usually chronic disease caused by Plasmodium and
transmitted through female Anopheles mosquito. The disease is frequent

Surveillance of some recent proton pump inhibitors
by Shrivastava S*., Dwivedi S., Kapoor S., Dubey D., Dubey P. K, Sonaniya R.,
The present paper through the light on the marketing survey of PPIs and a comparison of drugs, having less drug-drug interaction and adverse drug reaction which benefits the patient’s compliance towards the use PPIs. Market research of PPIs was carried from July 2006 to August 2006; datas were collected from five hospitals and fifteen chemist of Indore city. Datas revealed that market share of Pentoprozole i.v. is 70% (Pentodac i.v. with 48%), Rabeprazole i.v. is 22% (Rabeloc i.v. with 75%) and Omeoprazole i.v. is 8% (Ocid i.v. with 75%).
