ABSTRACT

Mechanical bowel obstruction presenting acutely is a common surgical emergency and a frequently encountered problem in department of surgery. Intestinal obstruction continues to remain a challenge to surgeons despite advances in field of medicine, pathophysiology, surgical technique and conservative management. This retrospective study in patients operated for acute mechanical bowel obstruction in our department, was intended to highlight the common causes of intestinal obstruction in this geographical location of the study which had suggested measures for prevention and treatment of the condition. 150 patients who underwent exploratory laparotomy for intestinal obstruction were compared in terms of age, sex, symptoms, etiology of intestinal obstruction, site of obstruction, operative procedure performed

ABSTRACT

The present investigation was undertaken to explore the anti-tumor promoting activity of Rosemarinus officinalis on two-stage skin carcinogenesis, induced by a single topical application of 7, 12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene and promoted by treatment of croton oil for 15 weeks in Swiss albino mice. Oral administration of Rosemary leaf extract at a dose of 1,000 mg/ kg b. wt. / day at pre, peri and post-initiational phases, was found to be effective in decreasing the tumor incidence (50, 41.7, 58.3%, respectively) in comparison to the control (100%). Furthermore, the cumulative number of papillomas, tumor yield and tumor burden were also found to be reduced in R. officinalis-treated animals. This was associated with significant alteration in liver lipid peroxidation and glutathione (GSH) levels.
