As tablet devices continue to gain market share at the expense of the traditional PC, they become a more integral part of the corporate landscape. Tablets are no longer being utilized only by sales executives for presentation purposes, or as addition to the traditional laptop. Users are attempting to perform significant amounts of their daily work on tablet devices, some even abandoning the ubi...

i are transformed accordingly to f tablet(1) or f tablet(1) , as shown in Table 2." must be \.. . where x (0) and (0) i are transformed accordingly to f tablet(1) or f tablet(5) , as shown in Table 2." Abstract. A conceptual objective behind the self-adaptation of the mutation distribution is to achieve invariance against certain transformations of the search space. In this paper, a priori inva...

BACKGROUND Nevirapine extended-release (NVP-XR) taken once daily remains an effective antiretroviral agent for patients infected with HIV-1 strains that do not harbor resistance mutations. Presence of tablet remnants of NVP XR in stools was reported in 1.19% and 3.05% of subjects in two clinical trials. However, the prevalence may have been underestimated because the information was retrospecti...

BACKGROUND Hypertension is one of the major risk factors for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease and mortality. Patients who receive insufficient doses of antihypertensive agents or who are poorly adherent to multidrug treatment regimens often fail to achieve adequate blood pressure (BP) control. The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy of an angiotensin II receptor blocker (A...

The reproducibility of drug absorption within a given subject as well as the evaluation of bioavailability of two digoxin dosage forms were studied. The data showed (a) a higher initial plasma digoxin concentration after the soft elastic gelatin (SEG) capsule; (b) a more irregular absorption after the tablet; (c) on the average, the coefficients of variation of individual plasma concentrations ...

Pediatric, ibuprofen containing orodispersible tablets (ODTs) were prepared using the SeDeM expert system methodology. In order to facilitate formulation, directly compressible ibuprofen was employed (Ibuprofen DC 8TM) and characterized using its SeDeM profile. The mannitol based superdisintegrant Ludiflash® was characterized by the SeDeM-ODT expert system, which also allowed calculation of the...

We present a distance tutoring system that allows a tutor to provide instruction via an animated avatar. The system captures pen-gestures of real tutor, generates 3D behaviors automatically, and animates a virtual tutor on the remote side in near real-time. The uniqueness of the system comes from the pen-gesture interface. We have done a study to test this interface. The system can effectively ...

The aim of present study is to exist a novel super disintegrants in fast dissolving tablet. Guar gum is a natural substance and used in many pharmaceutical product and it can also used as a super disintegrating agent in fast dissolving tablet. The result is that it released the 99.21% drug in 15min as compared to Sodium Starch Glycolate (SSG), where only 97.51% drug was released. The onset of t...

New mobile computing devices including personal digital assistants (PDAs) and tablet computers have emerged to facilitate data collection at the point of care. Unfortunately, little research has been reported regarding which device is optimal for a given care setting. In this study we created and compared functionally identical applications on a Palm operating system-based PDA and a Windows-bas...

BACKGROUND The price per milligram for most statin medications decreases at higher strengths, which provides an economic incentive to split tablets. We sought to determine the frequency with which statin tablets are split, and to evaluate factors associated with this practice. METHODS We obtained prescription claims data for statins from the BC Ministry of Health for the period Jan. 1, 1996, ...
