Drug administration via mucosal membranes, including the vaginal, has the advantage of by passing the hepatogastrointestinal first pass metabolism associated with oral administration. Metronidazole suppositories were prepared using different suppository bases viz., water soluble bases ( PEGs and gelatin ) emulsion and fatty bases. The physicochemical properties of most of the prepared MTZ suppo...

The wastewater generated from pharmaceutical industry generally contain high organic load and the treatment is primarily carried out using two major types of biological methods; aerobic and anaerobic. However, due to high strength, it is infeasible to treat some pharmaceutical wastewater using aerobic biological processes. As an alternative, an anaerobic process is preferred to remove high stre...

A total of 196 schools participated in the Tier 1 Program (Secondary 2 curriculum) of the Project P.A.T.H.S. in Hong Kong. After the completion of the program, 1,178 instructors completed a subjective outcome evaluation form to assess their views of the program, instructors and perceived effectiveness of the program. Results showed that high proportions of the instructors had positive perceptio...

CONTEXT The section of a research article most likely to be read is the abstract, and therefore it is particularly important that the abstract reflect the article faithfully. OBJECTIVE To assess abstracts accompanying research articles published in 6 medical journals with respect to whether data in the abstract could be verified in the article itself. DESIGN Analysis of simple random sample...

introduction: most physicians consider abstracts to give a general idea about the full text of an article. abstracts, as summative and informative parts, contain main information of papers. they also point out the content of papers to readers. the importance of abstracts leads journals to be stricter about their structure and content. this study aimed to assess the abstracts of randomized contr...

Earthworms are able to protect themselves against invading microorganisms through their immune systems. Although there are many studies about defense systems of Dendrobaena veneta, this is the first report focusing on the immune properties of earthworms belonging to the same species, which live in different localities. Thus, it was aimed to compare antibacterial and hemolytic activities of eart...

The creation of a literary biography requires an awareness both of how we construct what we believe we ‘know’ about a writer, and how the stories we adopt change our reading of their works. Research into the sources used to construct Marlowe’s and Shakespeare’s biographies supports the conclusion that when writers can no longer create their own stories, those created about them are necessarily ...

Liposomes, which are biodegradable and essentially non-toxic vehicles, can encapsulate both hydrophilic and hydrophobic materials, and are utilized as drug carriers in drug delivery systems. Stealth liposomes are surface modified liposomes in which PEG units are attached to the outer surface of liposome units, so that they can escape the opsonization effect in the blood, which is a major cause ...

(2003). Central-pair-linked regulation of microtubule sliding by calcium in flagellar axonemes. We apologise for two errors in Fig. 1. In Fig. 1A and Fig. 1C the concentration of ATP should be 20 µM not 20 M. The correct figure is shown below.

The concerned study reveals the anti-diabetic effect of Gymnema sylvestre in control of blood glucose level in Alloxan induced Diabetic rats. The recent studies shows the active constituent is Gymnemic acid a triterpenoid saponin has significant effects on the intestinal absorption of glucose in to the blood and stimulation of b-cells of pancreas in the production of Insulin.
