abstract background: premature neonates’ feeding is of great importance due to its effective role in their growth. these neonates should reach an independent oral nutrition stage before being discharged from the neonatal intensive care unit. therefore, the researcher decided to conduct a study on the effect of palady and cup feeding on premature neonates’ weight gain and their reaching full ora...

The objective of the study was to develop Controlled porosity and elementary osmotic pump-based drug delivery systems of Glibenclamide. The elementary osmotic pump (EOP) consists of an osmotic core with the drug surrounded by a semipermeable membrane drilled with a delivery orifice through which drug releases where as in controlled porosity osmotic pump drug release is accomplished by the use o...

A promising glipizide formulation comprising compression of four-layer coated beads into tablets was prepared. The tablet offered the advantages of: a two-hour lag time before drug release, retaining sustained release characteristics and providing approximately zero-order drug release. Drug release was nearly independent of paddle speeds of 50 and 100 rpm releasing 80% over 14 h similar to the ...

Cup-plant (Silphium perfoliatum L.) stalks were investigated as a potential wood-replacement in particleboards (PBs). Two types of PBs produced—(1) single-layer and (2) three-layer boards. In the cup-plant PB, core layer was made from cup-plant, while surface consisted spruce particles. The well control panels produced with polymeric methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (pMDI) adhesive, physical mec...

Objective: This study is to formulate Nebivolol into a Pulsatile liquid, solid composite compression coated tablet, which will delay the release of drug in early morning hypertension conditions. Methods: The tablet was formulated and compressed with ethylcellulose coating polymer. percent vitro liquid tested. Based on disintegration time wetting time, LCS2, LCS3, LSC6, LCS7 LCS12 formulations w...

Monodisperse microcapsules with ultra-thin membranes are microfluidically designed to be highly sensitive to osmotic pressure, thereby providing a tool for the direct measurement of the osmotic strength. To make such osmocapsules, water-in-oil-in-water double-emulsion drops with ultra-thin shells are prepared as templates through emulsification of core-sheath biphasic flow in a capillary microf...

Human red blood cell ghosts were prepared by dielectric breakdown of the cell membrane and subsequent electrical haemolysis in isotonic and isoionic solutions. Almost complete removal of haemoglobin (to about 0.1%) could be achieved by subjecting the erythrocytes suspended in isotonic solution to three consecutive electric field pulses of 16 kV/cm in the presence of 10 mM EDTA, followed by dilu...
