introduction: wastewaters of chemical, petrochemical, electrical, pharmaceutical and paper industries are the main sources of mercury and its compounds. mercury is one of the toxic elements, so its removal from water and industrial wastewaters seems to be important and essential. the objective of this study was to investigate effective factors such as ph, contact time, absorbent dose, mixing ra...

Objective: Lorazepam is a sedative that may be used for the management of anxiety, insomnia, and chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. Lorazepam can be incorporated into transdermal bases such as Lipoderm, referred to as Phospholipid Base, for drug delivery across the skin. The purpose of this study is to characterize the percutaneous absorption of lorazepam 5 mg/g in Phospholipid Base, whe...

Losartan potassium is an angiotention receptor antagonist, used in the management of hypertension. The objective of the proposed research work is to prepare and evaluate the mouth dissolving/disintegrating tablets (MDTs) of losartan Potassium, which avoid the first-pass metabolism, improved the dissolution rate and enhance the bioavailability. Mouth dissolving tablets (MDTs) were prepared by di...

electromagnetic radiation emitted by cell-phones is a new health hazard, especially when they are used inside closed metal bodies such as cars, elevators etc. the modern wireless devices like bluetooth further enhance the effect of this radiation. the present studies were taken to get quantitative information about the actual power density levels to which a human brain is exposed inside a vehic...

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) plays a major role in cellular metabolism and mitochondrial dysfunction and is thought that NAD+/NADH decrease neuronal degeneration and improve behavioral deficits. This potential use of NAD+ or NADH as neuroprotective drugs requires an insight on the pharmacokinetic properties of these compounds. For this reason, we assessed the absorption of NADH in t...

The study presented in this article investigated the removal of copper ions from aqueous solutions by a synthetic hydrogel-forming adsorbent polymer based on sodium alginate (SA) and hydroxy apatite (HA) nanoparticles. The effect of adding Zeolite on the adsorption performance of this hydrogel was also investigated, and the optimum amount of Zeolite was determined by changing its quantity. The ...

Beryllium (Be2+) is an important industrial metal because of its unusual material properties: it lighter than aluminium and six times stronger steel. a strategic due to low density combined with strength, neutron absorption, high melting point modulus elasticity. often alloyed other metals such as copper component materials used in the aerospace, automotive, energy, defense, medical, electronic...

Rates and equilibrium values of cation absorption by Baker's yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, are in accord with a diffusion-limited exchange process which is independent of metabolic activity (7). At equilibrium the alkali ion content per unit volume of wet yeast exceeds the solution concentration by about 50fold in 10-3 M solution and about 800-fold at 10-5 M. Bromide anions in equilibrium wi...

BACKGROUND Orofacial pain is a common encounter in dentistry (affecting 12% of the population) and is a primary reason for patients seeking emergency care. Dentists often prescribe oral analgesics, which have disadvantages of decreased absorption rates and delayed onset. Intranasal (IN) delivery takes advantage of a large surface area of mucosal tissue for rapid absorption. The purpose of this ...
