OBJECTIVES Plasma concentrations are frequently used for therapeutic drug monitoring of antiretroviral drugs. Dried blood spot sampling offers a patient-friendly and easy alternative to plasma sampling. However, dried blood spot concentrations are not necessarily equal to plasma concentrations and therefore the objective of this work was to establish the relationship between nevirapine and efav...

Cold pressed peel oil was added to high quality 50°Brix commercial orange concentrate and foam-mat dried, or diluted to single strength juice and freeze-dried using different platen temperatures. Amounts of peel oil ranged from 0.026% to 0.106% for samples to be foam-mat dried, and from 0.011% to 0.109% for freeze drying. For foam-mat drying, previously de veloped standard commercial conditions...

Neste artigo, pretendemos refletir acerca dos desdobramentos das memórias da infância mineira que constituem a obra Menino Antigo (1973), de Drummond.

Bu çalışmada seraların doğal afetler sonucu uğradıkları hasarları ve tamirat sürecindeki zaman kaybını azaltmak amacıyla yeni bir form önerisi geliştirilmiştir. Önerilen yapının mevcut avantajları koruyacağı karşılaşılabilecek muhtemel zararları da azaltabileceği öngörülmüştür. Çalışma kapsamında, biyolojiden tasarıma düşünme yöntemi ile tasarım lensi uygulanmış su teresinin darbelere dayanıklı...

Background: Dried fruit is one of the main sources of sulphur dioxide (SO2) exposure. The major goal of the current study was to determine SO2 concentration in some widely consumed dried fruits in Hamadan, Iran. In addition, an estimate of sulphite intake was made through the aforementioned dried fruit. Methods: Totally, 126 dried fruit samples were randomly collected from local market in Hama...
