background and objectives: patient readmission is an important criterion in performance evaluation of healthcare settings. identifying the causes of the readmissions would help the policymakers in designing strategies for efficient management of health facilities. this stud aimed to explore factors contributing to readmission by sampling from an iranian hospital. methods: clinical records of 38...

Experiments on granule transport and the mean residence time in a rotary horizontal drum with inclined flights showed that the granules can be transported steadily. A model for granule transport based on the analysis of granule motion and other studies on inclined drums was developed to calculate the mean residence time of the granules, and verification experiments under different conditions we...

The pharmacokinetics aspects of levofloxacin were studied in healthy and experimentally renal damaged Muscovy ducks after single intravenous (IV) and oral (PO) dose of 10 mg kg(-1) bwt. Following IV administration, elimination half-life (t 1/2( β )) and mean residence time (MRT) were longer in renal damaged ducks than in healthy ones. Total clearance (Cltot) in renal damaged ducks (0.20 L kg(-1...

BACKGROUND AND THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDY The relative in vivo bioavailability and in vitro dissolution studies of three chemically equivalent amiodarone generic products in healthy volunteers was evaluated in three separate occasions. The possibility of a correlation between in vitro and in vivo performances of these tablet formulations was also evaluated. METHODS The bioequivalence studies we...
