Title: STUDY ON THE PROTECTIVE EFFECT OF METHANOLIC EXTRACT OF MENTHA ARVENSIS L. LEAVES ON HALOPERIDOL INDUCED EXTRAPYRAMIDAL MOVEMENT DISORDERS IN ALBINO RATS
Description:
Anti-psychotics are the drugs used to treat schizophrenia. Typical anti-psychotics like haloperidol produce serious side effects called extrapyramidal movement disorders (EPS)
(catalepsy, tardive dyskinesia, acute dystonia, exploratory behaviour etc.), leading to patient noncompliance and loss of quality of life. These EPS are due to pro-oxidant property of haloperidol which causes oxidative stress induced neuronal damage. So, by the use of anti-oxidants EPS can be reduced.
In the present study, EPS are induced in four groups of albino rats by treating with haloperidol for 21 days,at a dose of 1mg/kg I.P. On the 22nd day three groups of albino rats were treated with MEMA 200mg/kg, 400mg/kg, 600mg/kg respectively. After 30 minutes of administration,haloperidol was injected. The fourth group was treated with haloperidol alone. The therapeutic effect of MEMA on haloperidol induced adverse effects was determined by various methods like hole board test, cataleptic score, and vacuous chewing movements and comparing the (Haloperidol+MEMA) treated groups with Haloperidol treated group.
High dose of MEMA showed a beneficiary effect by reducing the haloperidol induced adverse effects in albino rats. Thus, supplementation of MEMA along with haloperidol showed a protective effect over oxidative stress induced neuronal damage in albino rats.

Examination and therapeutic interventions on the small intestine have been difficult and challenging for interventional gastroenterologists. In the last few years, significant advances have been made in this direction. New diagnostic and therapeutic modalities for visualizing the small intestine have been introduced like the endoscopic capsule the double balloon enteroscopy and lately the spiral enteroscopy. Furthermore, increased indications for small-bowel imaging and therapeutics have been recognized. Spiral enteroscopy is the latest method of small bowel visualisation and examination that allows deep penetration of the small intestine and intervention using all the standard methods of therapy. The following video is from a patient with upper gastrointestinal bleeding (melena) and decreased hematocrit who had a negative endoscopy and colonoscopy. Spiral enteroscopy was performed and an arteriovenous malformation of the third portion of the duodenum was found and cauterized using argon plasma laser therapy.
