Transdermal Delivery System (TDS) is a liquid formulation which can be applied to the skin via a metered pump spray to deliver drug across skin. This placebo controlled, double blind trial compared anaesthetic properties of two TDS systems (TDS alpha and TDS beta) with placebo. The active and placebo treatments were applied to the dorsum of the hands, bilaterally and simultaneously for 5 min on...

The role of calcium ions (Ca) in the generation of transient depolarizations (TDs) by acetylstrophanthidin was examined. Transmembrane activity was recorded from isolated canine false tendons exposed to acetylstrophanthidin; concentrations from 7.5 X 10"" to 2 X 10-" g/ml caused TDs coupled to driven action potentials and depressed slow diastolic depolarization. TDs could reach threshold and in...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES This study aimed to determine the accuracy of a diet quality measurement tool, the Total Diet Score (TDS) using two validation methods; firstly the TDS calculated from a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) was compared to the TDS calculated from weighed food records (WFRs); secondly the TDS was compared to a number of dietary biomarkers. METHODS AND STUDY DESIGN Data ...

Hydrogen sulfide can exist in oxic waters in the form of a dissolved gas, dissociated ions, dissolved metal sulfide complexes, and particulate metal sulfides. The sum of the dissolved species is termed total dissolved sulfide (TDS). In addition to the hydrolysis of carbonyl sulfide, it has been speculated that phytoplankton may produce TDS. We present results from preliminary culture studies wh...

Time Delay Spectrometry (TDS) is a technique used to measure both frequency and time responses of acoustic and electrical systems. TDS theory is presented in both intuitive and mathematical terms. The theoretical limitations of current TDS technology are described. A new extension to TDS theory is introduced which has the potential to signiicantly improve TDS measurements. Implementation issues...

Groundwater aquifers are an important source of water supply for agriculture, industry and drinking. The present study investigates the changes in the quality of groundwater using geostatistical methods in the Ravar plain during a 10-year period. In this study, after selecting the appropriate spatial interpolation method to draw water quality parameters such as TDS, SAR and EC, zoning maps of R...

The aim of this research was to evaluate groundwater quality for irrigation in Kalihati Upazila, Bangladesh, a region that is significantly reliant on crop development, especially during dry periods. By combining hydrochemical analysis and Geographic Information System (GIS), the examined physicochemical attributes their spatial distribution. Fifteen samples from various locations were analyzed...

Elevated levels of total dissolved solids (TDS) have been identified as stressors to aquatic life in Central Appalachian coalfield streams. At present there are no aquatic life water quality criteria for TDS in the primary coal-producing Central Appalachian states (KY, VA, WV). In all three states, mining-related impacts on aquatic life have been characterized using measures of benthic macroinv...
