Male Wistar rats received 340 mg/kg of either unformulated curcumin or curcumin formulated with phosphatidylcholine (Meriva) by oral gavage. Rats were killed at 15, 30, 60 and 120 min post administration. Plasma, intestinal mucosa and liver were analysed for the presence of curcumin and metabolites using HPLC with UV detection. Identity of curcumin and metabolites was verified by negative ion e...

Volume 8(2): 006 (2016)-06 In their interesting paper entitled “A systematic Review on Medication Errors”, Karthikeyan et al. performed a systematic literature review about medication errors in prescribing, transcribing, dispensing, administrating and documenting, in order to identify the main contributory factors involved. Given the heterogeneity of the studies they considered, they did not st...

Duality between the coloured quantum group and the coloured quantum algebra corresponding to GL(2) is established. The coloured L functionals are constructed and the dual algebra is derived explicitly. These functionals are then employed to give a coloured generalisation of the differential calculus on quantum GL(2) within the framework of the R-matrix approach. Lett. Math. Phys. 53 (2000) 29-4...

(1) An apparatus has been constructed to measure the coefficient of friction of synovial membrane against a glass slider. (2) Provision was made to vary the load on the specimens. (3) The coefficient of friction varied from 0-006 to 0-07. (4) A presentation similar to that used in the Sommerfeld analysis of journal bearings indicated that in these experiments synovial membrane was lubricated in...
