The labour pain experienced by 101 women giving birth in a Scottish hospital was assessed by the McGill Pain Questionnaire and Visual Analogue Scales during active first stage labour and post-natally Labour pain was found to be on average severe, but not intensely negatively affective Its intensity varied considerably and was related to parity and the duration of the first stage of labour refle...

 The physicochemical properties of the drug substance can assume a primary role in controlling its dissolution from the dosage form.  The aqueous solubility of the drug is one of the major factors that determine its dissolution rate.  Some studies concluded that the drug solubility data can be used as rough predictor of the possibility of any future problems with bioavailability.  Some of t...

Web is a largest information repository containing web pages, continuously expanding with time thus effectively and efficiently searching relevant information on the web is being a challenge. In recent years large numbers of search engines have been introduced which are still dealing with few problems of indexing and retrieval of relevant information. Therefore it becomes essential to evaluate ...

OBJECTIVE To identify factors that significantly influence myringoplasty success. METHODS A retrospective study was performed of all adults and children who underwent myringoplasty from January 2005 to January 2010 in a teaching hospital. Outcome measures were tympanic membrane perforation closure and air-bone gap closure to within 20 dB HL. The factors assessed were the surgeon grade, pre-op...

Depue, Robert H. (Hahnemann Medical College, Philadelphia), and Albert G. Moat. Factors affecting aspartase activity. J. Bacteriol. 82:383-386. 1961.-Cells of Escherichia coli grown in a glucose-mineral salts medium contain about one-fifth the amount of aspartase activity observed in cells grown in a yeast extract-peptone medium. The aspartase activity of the cells grown in glucose-salts medium...

Accurately capturing the observed mean period of ENSO in general circulation models (GCMs) is often challenging, and it is therefore useful to understand which parameters and processes affect this period. A computationally efficient simulation-based approach is used to extract both the dominant eigenvalues and corresponding eigenvectors of the linearized model from the Zebiak–Cane intermediate-...

FIGURE 1 Potassium response curves for plant and ratoon cane crops. Recent trials Since the exploratory and RFT series of trials more than 70 trials have been conducted. Many of these trials are still in progress but the results so far may be summarised as follows: The combined average responseto the 93 kgK haI treatment was 5,5 tc ha" while a further 93 kg Khat gave little additional response

The paper addresses ways in which litigation serves a role in the reform of services for mentally disabled children-and !adults. Effects on deinstitutionalization are emphasized. Benefits of using litigation to secure the rights of mentally retarded persons include public awareness, quality assurance standards for institutions, and the development of new programing strategies. Drawbacks to liti...

Solubility of drug plays a prime role in controlling its dissolution from dosage form. Aqueous solubility of drug is a major factor that determines its dissolution rate. Minimum aqueous solubility of 1% is required to avoid potential solubility limited absorption problems. Studies of 45 compound of different chemical classes and a wide range of solubilities revealed that initial dissolution rat...
