The present study was undertaken to evaluate the oxidative stress and genotoxicity induced by 43.40 mg/kg/day of acetamiprid (ACE) in male rats and the protective role of 30 mg/kg/day of ambroxol (AMB) in male rats for consecutive 28 days. The results showed that the administration of ACE caused significant increments in the levels of catalase.

Ascites is the most common complication of liver cirrhosis. Large-volume paracentesis necessitates hospital admissions. Elective day-case paracentesis was introduced into Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust in July 2019 to reduce inpatient bed occupancy.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is present in pediatric patients when reflux of gastric contents causes troublesome symptoms and/ or complications. GERD is one of the most common referrals to neonatal clinics. There are controversies in the pharmacologic treatment of GERD in neonates. There are very few studies that have compared the efficacy of esomeprazole with ranitidine in the management of neonatal GERD, so this study was performed.
