BACKGROUND The combination of metformin and a sulphonylurea has been recommended for treatment of type 2 diabetes. A, scored, breakable, extended release, once daily fixed dose combination (FDC) of gliclazide and metformin is available in India. OBJECTIVE To assess the initial blood glucose lowering efficacy, glycemic control and patient acceptability of the fixed dose combination of original...

2014 A Couette-type apparatus has been constructed which allows the observation of small angle neutron scattering from fluids in a constant shear gradient. Typical systems which can be investigated by this apparatus are polymer solutions and melts, anisotropic biopolymers, viruses in solution and various colloidal liquids. Revue Phys. Appl.19 (1984) 759-763 SEPTEMBRE 1984,

We study the statistical distribution of quantum energy splittings due to a dynamical tunneling. The system, the annular billiard, has whispering quasimodes due to a discrete symmetry that exists even when chaos is present in the underlying classical dynamics. Symmetric and antisymmetric combinations of these quasimodes correspond to quantum doublet states whose degeneracies decrease as the cir...

The field of organic thin films and devices is progressing at an extremely rapid pace. Organic–metal and organic–organic interfaces play crucial roles in charge injection into, and transport through, these devices. Their electronic structure, chemical properties, and electrical behavior must be fully characterized and understood if the engineering and control of organic devices are to reach the...

For the simulation of the accidental course of events in industrial process plants, a model is needed of operators' response to the cues presented by the system. A model is proposed, based on the simplifications which can be made when restricting attention to the operator functions having significants for a probabilistic risk analysis, and to only skill and rule based performance, i.e., to resp...

Acute psychiatric illness is associated with alterations of serum thyroid hormone levels including normal or high T3 levels and elevated T4 levels with normal or high TSH that have no clinical signs or symptoms and resolve within 2 weeks. This phenomenon is called euthyroid hyperthyroxinemia. We present a case of primary hyperparathyroidism contributing to a patient’s depression with psychosis ...

We reported the functionalization of multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) with 4-aminobenzoic acid by a ‘‘direct’’ Friedel–Crafts acylation reaction in a mild polyphosphoric acid (PPA)/phosphorous pentoxide (P2O5) medium. The resulting 4aminobenzoyl-functionalized MWCNT (AF-MWCNT) was used as a platform for the grafting of polypyrrole (PPy) in ammonium persulfate (APS)/aqueous hydrochloric acid ...
