extended-release matrix tablets of diltiazem hydrochloride (dtz) were prepared using waxy materials alone or in combination with kollidon sr. matrix waxy materials were carnauba wax (cw), bees wax (bw), cetyl alcohol (ca) and glyceryl monostearate (gms). dissolution studies were carried out by using a six stations usp xxii type 1 apparatus. the in vitro drug release study was done in 1000 ml ph...

The mortality pattern among 86 men was determined to investigate the possible hazards of polishing steel. The men had polished steel with polishing paste for at least five years. The polishing pastes had contained tallow, beeswax, carnauba wax, alundum, carborundum, ferric oxide, and chalk. A total of 18 men had died compared with 13.3 expected. Four had died of stomach cancer compared with 0.4...

Background: Phosphate-bonded investments produce a refractory cast model with rough surface and undesirable properties. Dental Surface hardening agents are then applied to investment materials enhance its properties.
 Purpose: compare evaluate the effects of different dental (Bees wax, Carnauba Ceresin wax) on roughness material. 
 Approach: 30 specimens were constructed from commerci...

The aim of this study was to use a detailed rheological characterization to gain new insights into the gelation behavior of natural waxes. To make a comprehensive case, six natural waxes (differing in the relative proportion of chemical components: hydrocarbons, fatty alcohols, fatty acids, and wax esters) were selected as organogelators to gel high-oleic sunflower oil. Flow and dynamic rheolog...

In order to assay the triatomine infestation and domiciliation in the rural area of Jaguaruana district, state of Ceará, Brazil, we studied, from November 2000 to April 2002, 4 localities comprising 158 domiciles as a whole, with an average of 4 inhabitants/house, who are dwelling in there for more than 7 years. Most houses have tile-covered roofs and the walls built with plaster-covered bricks...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the internal quality and lipid oxidation eggs coated with a carnauba wax-based product at different concentrations stored for up 28 days under two temperatures. For analysis quality, were assigned completely randomized 3 x 4 factorial design (uncoated (control); wax 12% concentration (Aruá®); 15% four storage periods - 7, 14, 21, days). Fifteen from e...
