Compelling evidences indicate that dietary factors can contribute to human cancer risk and as such many of the cancers common in the third world countries and the western world, including liver, colon, prostate and breast cancers have been related to dietary behaviors. Dietary carcinogens identified to date include the mycotoxins, heterocyclic amines formed from heat treatment of meat, N-nitros...

The aim of the present investigation was to formulate thermally sintered floating tablets of propranolol HCl, and to study the effect of sintering conditions on drug release, as well as their in vitro buoyancy properties. A hydrophilic polymer, polyethylene oxide, was selected as a sintered polymer to retard the drug release. The formulations were prepared by a direct compression method and wer...

it is highly desirable to employ biopreservatives of the antioxidant and antimicrobial properties to avoid the side effects associated with the use of synthetic preservatives. cake batters containing essential oil extracts of some such iranian native herbs as: lemon balm (melissa officinalis), camel thorn (alhagi maurorum) and ajwain (trachyspermum copticum), were prepared. the chemical composi...

Biobased flame-retardant polylactic acid composites were prepared using ammonium polyphosphate (AP), lignin, and a raw montmorillonite (ANa) as the intumescent formulation. The concentration of AP ANa was varied in order to study its influence on flammability properties composites. samples submitted cone calorimeter test, thermogravimetric analysis coupled Fourier-transform infrared spectroscop...

Life expectancy is increasing in muscular dystrophies: as an example due to technical medical interventions like spine surgery and home ventilation, boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy become men. Increasing evidence concerning retarding drugs becomes available for muscular dystrophies. Cardiac symptoms can effectively be treated with drugs and also cardioprotective drugs are tested. New reta...
