Biomedical Science and Research Journals | Quantum Chemical and Pharmacokinetic Studies of some Proton Pump Inhibitor Drugs

Proton-pump inhibitor (PPIs) drugs are widely used in the treatment of gastric diseases. Almost all PPI drugs have some side effects depend on the physical condition and limit of doses. In this study, the physicochemical and pharmacokinetic studies of Omeprazole, Esomeprazole, Lansoprazole and Pantoprazole have been investigated. Density functional theory (DFT) with B3LYP/3-21g basis set has been employed to optimize the geometry and to elucidate their thermochemical, molecular orbital, molecular electrostatic potential properties. Pharmacokinetic parameters are also investigated to compare their absorption, distribution, excretion, metabolism, and toxicity. Omeprazole, lansoprazole, pantoprazole and esomeprazole having the benzimidazole nucleus and widely used in gastrointestinal treatment [1]. They play a significant role as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) [2]. 
PPIs are not only very effective but also safer agents applied for the treatment of various gastrointestinal disorders, where they restrict the gastric acid production [3]. They deliver the best medication for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and erosive esophagitis through gastric acid suppressive therapy. Besides these drugs also used as a remedy of a helicobacter pylori infections. Generally, stomach acids are highly responsible for digesting nutrients whereas decreasing these acids can provide relief from heartburn and indigestion. Most importantly these drugs (Omeprazole, lansoprazole, pantoprazole and esomeprazole) are differ from each other in their metabolism and as well as in efficiency to interact with other prescripts. From more than a decade these drugs have been widely used as an acid inhibitory agent for treatment related to gastric acid secretion [4]. They irreversibly restrict the enzyme scheme by blocking the H+/K+ ATPase system [5]. Headaches, diarrhea, abdominal pain, vomiting etc. are the common side effects where long term use may rise the risk of gastric cancer and bone fracture as well.

Biomedical Science and Research Journals | Advanced Applications of Biomaterials Based on Alginic Acid

Advanced Applications of Biomaterials Based on Alginic Acid Abstract Alginic acid, also known as algin or alginate, is a natural carbohydrate, which is derived from marine brown algae, as well as some microorganisms. It can be used in various applications. In particular, alginate has shown great potential in the areas of wound healing, drug delivery, in vitro cell culture, and tissue engineering, allowing the categorization of it as a promising biomaterial, or a basic component of other biomaterials. The unique characteristics of alginic acid, such as the biocompatibility, the mild required gelation conditions, the low toxicity, the relative low cost and the simple modifications, allow the development of alginate hydrogels, and alginate derivatives with enhanced properties. The aim of this review, is to present an overview of the properties of alginate, shedding light on the current and potential applications and suggesting new perspectives for future studies.

  The Need of Early Detection of Positive COVID-19 Patients in the Community by Viral Tests (e.g. RT-PCR Tests) and Antibody Tests (Serological Tests) to Stop the Spread Abstract Background and Objective:  The Aim of this article is to tell the Importance of early testing for COVID-19 novel corona virus of the suspected communities. The earlier to find out the Positive results of the COVID-19 novel corona virus more robust preventions against COVID-19 could be implemented. Methods:  The Author of this article has randomly selected 15 Articles from PUBMED Central and others sources with search word COVID-19 Test Kits. After reviewing the research articles and looking at their results it clearly shows the Importance of use of COVID-19 Test Kits. The earliest the use of COVID-19 Test Kits it prevents the whole community from getting infection from infected people. The Positive people with COVID-19 Test Kits would be Quarantined and treated in the health facilities or at home depending upo

Biomedical Science and Research Journals | Substance Identification in Anti-Doping Control-Some Issues

  Substance Identification in Anti-Doping Control-Some Issues Introduction When an athlete is accused of an anti-doping rule violation according to the World Anti-Doping Code (WADC), usually the only evidence available to the ruling body is the presence of a prohibited substance, metabolite or marker in the athlete’s sample, as determined by a laboratory accredited by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). The laboratory enjoys a presumption, which means that if the analysis has been conducted according to WADA’s International Standard for Laboratories and technical documents, it cannot be challenged by the athlete. It speaks for itself that given the enormous consequences for an athlete to be found guilty of an antidoping violation, and the singular importance attributed to the laboratory, the analysis procedure and the underpinning science must be impeccable. Small molecules such as anabolic steroids and their metabolites are usually detected by means of Gas Chromatography (GC) coupled
