Wasp stings are common especially during the warmer months when people are outside for longer periods of time. They are equipped with a stinger for self-defence. A wasp’s stinger contains venom that is trans-mitted to humans during a sting. Local manifestations following stings are common and usually life-threatening anaphylaxis may occur. Most of the cases involve one or a few stings where only local symp-toms without any serious allergic reactions. In such cases Vishaghna lepas (antitoxic topical applications) can be used as it nullifies the harmful or poisonous effects along with medicinal intake. Here, in this study, the efficacy of Kushmandabeejadi lepa churna, mentioned in Kriyakoumudi (traditional book on toxicolo-gy) for wasp sting is studied by administering it along with another widely practiced classical preparation. Aim and Objectives- The study was conducted to study the efficacy of Kushmandabeejadi lepa against Sigrupunarnavadi lepa along with Dasanga agada in the management of Wasp sting Methods- A clinical study with 20 participants fulfilling the diagnostic and inclusion criteria was selected alternately and as-signed in to two groups. Group 1(trial group) received Kushmanadabeejadi lepa churna and Group 2(control group) received Sigrupunarnavadi lepa churna five times daily for a period of three days, both as external application. Fourth day was observatory period and assessment was done on fifth day. In both groups, Dasanga agada was used as common internal medicine. Results-The outcome variables – pain, itching, erythema and swelling were assessed for the change in mean score values. Data were analysed sta-tistically using Mann-Whitney U Test and Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The result obtained was significant in relieving the cardinal symptoms of wasp sting Conclusion- The overall effect shows that both the treat-ments individually were significant in the management of wasp sting and Kushmandabeejadi lepa is equal-ly effective in managing the signs and symptoms produced by wasp sting when compared with Sigru-punarnavadi lepa.

ABSTRACT Adult AIDS Clinical Trials Group 5043 examined pharmacokinetic (PK) interactions between amprenavir (APV) and efavirenz (EFV) both by themselves and when nelfinavir (NFV), indinavir (IDV), ritonavir (RTV), or saquinavir (SQV) is added. A PK study was conducted after the administration of single doses of APV (day 0). Subjects (n = 56) received 600 mg of EFV every 24 h (q24h) for 10 days and restarted APV with EFV for days 11 to 13 with a PK study on day 14. A second protease inhibitor (PI) (NFV, 1,250 mg, q12h; IDV, 1,200 mg, q12h; RTV, 100 mg, q12h; or SQV, 1,600 mg, q12h) was added to APV and EFV on day 15, and a PK study was conducted on day 21. Controls continued APV and EFV without a second PI. Among subjects, the APV areas under the curve (AUCs) on days 0, 14, and 21 were compared using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Ninety-percent confidence intervals around the geometric mean ratios (GMR) were calculated. APV AUCs were 46% to 61% lower (median percentage of AUC) with EFV (day 14 versus day 0; P values of <0.05). In the NFV, IDV, and RTV groups, day 21 APV AUCs with EFV were higher than AUCs for EFV alone. Ninety-percent confidence intervals around the GMR were 3.5 to 5.3 for NFV (P < 0.001), 2.8 to 4.5 for IDV (P < 0.001), and 7.8 to 11.5 for RTV (P = 0.004). Saquinavir modestly increased the APV AUCs (GMR, 1.0 to 1.4; P = 0.106). Control group AUCs were lower on day 21 compared to those on day 14 (GMR, 0.7 to 1.0; P = 0.042). African-American non-Hispanics had higher day 14 efavirenz AUCs than white non-Hispanics. We conclude that EFV lowered APV AUCs, but nelfinavir, indinavir, or ritonavir compensated for EFV induction.

ObjectiveWe aimed to explore the validity of applying current reference ranges of the enzyme creatine kinase (CK) when analysing the medical status of professional footballers and to offer a more functional CK reference range for professional footballers.MethodsA sample of 27 professional male footballers competing in The Football League Championship was analysed. The single sample Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to compare the CK distribution of the study group with that of a control group of military personnel reported in the literature.ResultsThe median values for study group and the published control group were 284 U/L and 124 U/L, respectively (P<0.001) suggesting that the average CK activity of professional footballers is higher than that of the normal healthy military population.ConclusionEthnicity, sex, age and physical exercise are factors that likely influence CK levels among various populations. From our analysis, we recommend a new 95% reference interval of 64.9 U/L to 1971.7 U/L for professional footballers.

SummaryThe aim of this study is to investigate the influence of hemolysis degrees on the values of hematological and biochemical parameters in the blood samples of cows in early lactation. The study included a total of 45 blood samples of cows in early lactation. Out of the total number of samples analyzed, 15 indicated no signs of hemolysis, whereas 15 indicated moderate hemolysis and 15 severe hemolysis. The influence of hemolysis was examined by determining the bias (%) and by means of the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The results showed that the hemolyzed samples had decreased values of the HCT, RBC, MCV, and increased values of the MCH, MCHC, and PLT. The total number of LEU showed a declining trend with increasing degrees of hemolysis. The changes in the HGB values were not detected despite the visual identification. The hemolysis degrees showed a significant influence on the values of biochemical parameters. The variations in biochemical parameters were less significant in the samples with moderate hemolysis compared to the samples with severe hemolysis. The most hemolysis-sensitive biochemical parameters were the AST, TBIL, TGC, and NEFA as great variations of their values were found even in moderate hemolysis. A slight deviation was noted in the BHB and total protein values. With respect to all the parameters examined, the Wilcoxon test showed significant differences in the samples with moderate and severe hemolysis in comparison with the control group. In conclusion, hemolysis significantly influenced the values of hematological and biochemical parameters in the blood samples analyzed.
