introduction this study was intended to evaluate the nutritional value, phenolic compounds and digestibility coefficients of barberry leaves. berberis vulgaris is one of the major crops in the province. the province has more than 70 percent and 95 percent of the total area under cultivation of barberry. waste and foliage of barberry harvest traditionally used to feed livestock tannin concentrat...

Floating matrix tablets of Glimepiride were developed to enhance its bioavailability by prolonging the gastric residence time in which Glimepiride was chosen as a model drug because of its has incomplete absorption due to its low gastric residence time. Floating matrix tablets were prepared using melt granulation technique. Bees wax was used as a hydrophobic meltable material. Hydroxypropylmeth...

We study the development potential of ultrasonic thermometry in a liquid fluctuating sodium environment similar to that present in a Sodium-cooled Fast Reactor, and thus investigate if and how ultrasonic thermometry could be used to monitor the sodium flow at the outlet of the reactor core. In particular we study if small temperature variations in the sodium flow of e.g. about 1% of the sodium ...

PURPOSE A Multiparticulate system of Mebendazole was developed for colon targeted drug delivery by using natural polysaccharides like Chitosan and Sodium-alginate beads. METHODS Chitosan microspheres were formulated by using Emulsion crosslinking method using Glutaraldehyde as crosslinking agent. Sodium-alginate beads were formulated by using Calcium chloride as gelling agent. Optimization fo...

When Euglena gracilis is dark adapted for 10 min or more, oxygen evolution as the conse­ quence of short (5 usee) saturating light flashes does not show the picture of a damped oscillation with a periodicity of 4, as known from the literature. The overall picture of this flash pattern is given by the fact that 0 2-evolution in the First two flashes is practically zero and rises from there onwar...

OBJECTIVE Hyaluronic acid sodium salt gel 0.2% is a topical device effective in reducing skin inflammation. Facial seborrheic dermatitis, characterized by erythema and or flaking/scaling in areas of high sebaceous activity, affects up to five percent of the United States population. Despite ongoing studies, the cause of the condition is yet unknown, but has been associated with yeast colonizati...

In this study, we performed ecotoxicity tests of sodium arsenite on soil invertebrate Eisenia fetida. Initially, broad range of sodium arsenite (0.1, 1, 10, 100mg/ml) was tested for mortality of E. fetida after 24 hours in filter paper test. The narrow range doses (0-1mg/ml) were further tested to determine the EC50 and LD50. The EC50 dose of sodium arsenite was considered at which 50% of earth...
