Objective: Visceral Leishmaniasis is a macrophage associated disorder for the treatment of which antimony based drug like Sodium Antimony Gluconate has been the first choice in the recent past. About 5 percent of the patients may develop insulin dependent diabetes mellitus. It appears to have a direct action on pancreatic beta cells, resulting in initial insulin release followed by impaired insulin secretion. Within this context we looked into alternate therapies of treatment ...

Humans usually fall asleep by entering in non Rapid Eye movement sleep, a phase accompanied by characteristic changes in the encephalogram (EEG). The person next moves to REM sleep, which is characterized not only by rapid eye movements but also by inhibition of skeletal muscle tone. These two states alternate with each other during sleep cycle. It has bee...
