UNLABELLED Gender-related differences in the pharmacological effects of drug are an emerging topic. This review examines gender differences in both pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic aspects of methadone, a long-acting opioid agonist that is prescribed as a treatment for opioid dependence and the management of chronic pain. METHOD We performed a search in the Medline database from 1990 to 20...

The influence of the lattice strain on the kinetics of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) was investigated at the surface of Nd2NiO4+δ (NNO). Nanoscale dense NNO thin films with tensile, compressive and no strain along the c-axis were fabricated by pulsed laser deposition on single-crystalline Y0.08Zr0.92O2 substrates. The ORR kinetics on the NNO thin film cathodes was investigated by electroc...

Shigella is recognized as a major foodborne pathogen; however, relatively few studies have been reported on its growth and survival characteristics, particularly under conditions relevant to food. A fractional factorial design was used to measure the effects and interactions of temperature (4-37 degrees C), pH (2-6) and NaCl (0.5-9%) on survival kinetics of Shigella flexneri strain 5348 in BHI ...

Potential adsorption of phenolsmajor pollutants present in various industrial wastewaters onto adsorbent powdered activated mustard cake (PAMC) derived from (mustard cake MC) agriculture waste materials was evaluated. The PAMC had meso porous pore size distribution with surface area (27 m g). The adsorption characteristics of the PAMC primarily attributed to the presence of silica or mixed oxid...

A paramount role of surface structure and composition on the kinetics of electrocatalytic reactions has been realized with the establishment of electrocatalysis as a science. Consequently, a variation in the surface structure, and a modification of surface composition is expected to result in a considerable alternation of the electrocatalytic properties of electrodes. Reliable data on the role ...
