Sensitive Method for the Simultaneous Estimation of Drotaverine HCL and Aceclofenac Using RP-HPLC

Simple and Sensitive Method for the Simultaneous Estimation of Drotaverine HCL and Aceclofenac Using RP-HPLC

 

Abstract :
 
To develop a simple and sensitive method for the simultaneous estimation of drotaverine HCL (DRH) and aceclofenac (AF) using RP-HPLC. The HPLC separation was achieved on a thermo column (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5μ) with an isocratic mixture of acetonitrile and 5 mM of ammonium acetate in the ratio of 65:35, pH adjusted to 4.5 at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min and the detection at 285nm. The method was validated as per ICH guidelines. The retention time for DRH and AF was 3.9 and 5.0 minutes, respectively. The optimized method was linear in the range of 50 - 120 ng/ml and 100 - 700 ng/ml for DRH and AF respectively. The overall recovery of DRH and AF were 99.8 and 99.5 % respectively. The developed sensitive, robust and rugged method as proven reproducibility of the result obtained as an outcome of small deliberate variation in the analytical parameter and the change the operator.

Asymmetry of Symptoms in Multiple System Atrophy

Asymmetry of Symptoms and Signs in Multiple System Atrophy


Abstract :


It has been widely recognized that some of the symptoms and signs of multiple system atrophy (MSA) emerge with laterality, but only a few studies have evaluated this issue comprehensively. Small-scale case reports that have been published thus far suggest that laterality in MSA is a rather rare finding.
In order to examine the prevalence and characteristics of laterality in symptoms and signs in MSA, we retrospectively investigated the records of 155 MSA patients. Among all the patients, 39% had episodes that suggested the presence of laterality in their illness history.
The MSA with predominant parkinsonism (MSA-P) patients presented with more episodes of laterality than the MSA with cerebellar features (MSA-C) patients. Among the episodes, laterality was more frequent in parkinsonism than for the cerebellar symptoms.Interestingly, these symptoms were more prevalent at the left side of the body. Laterality in the cerebellar signs was present in 63% of the MSA-C patients and laterality in parkinsonism was exhibited by 64% of the MSA-P patients. Interestingly, cerebellar signs, parkinsonism, and Horner's sign were all observed predominantly at the left side.
Thus, we concluded that a significant number of MSA patients present with laterality in both symptoms and signs and that more interestingly, these are predominantly observed at the left side.

About Journal


Ommega Journals is peer reviewed, multidisciplinary Open Access journal, written by internationally renowned clinical academics and researchers and researchers which aims to deliver quality work and access to its readers across various fields of science.

     IJNBD (International Journal of Neurology & Brain Disorders) is the life line of medical sciences that deals with the disorders of the nervous system. Diseases involving the central and peripheral nervous systems, somatic nervous systems are dealt with the treatment of neurology. Some of the commonly encountered conditions treated by neurologists are headaches, neuropathy, stroke, dementia, seizures and epilepsy, Alzheimers disease, Attention deficit or hyperactivity disorder, Parkinsons disease, multiple sclerosis, head trauma, sleep disorders, neuromuscular diseases, and various infections and tumors of the nervous system.
     
     Neurology, being a branch of medicine, differs from neuroscience, which is the scientific study of the nervous system in all of its aspects. Some neurologists also develop interests in subfields, such as dementia, chronic pain management, multiple sclerosis, movement disorders, headaches, epilepsy, sleep disorders, stroke, or neuromuscular diseases. Ommega Journals aims to provide the most complete and reliable source of information on the latest discoveries and current developments. OJN is available online for free access to all. This journal is open to share knowledge and help others focused on the latest advancements
