lution property of poorly water soluble drugs. In general, solid dispersion is prepared with water soluble polymer, such as polyethylene glycol (PEG) or polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as carrier, to disperse the drug molecules in the polymer matrix. Recently, the porous materials were also used as a carrier to disperse the drug molecules in the pores. We have already reported that the solid dispers...

The important ideas related to a Markov chain can be understood by just studying its graph, which has nodes corresponding to states and edges corresponding to nonzero entries in the transition matrix. Figure 1 helps us to summarize key ideas. The first part of this figure shows an irreducible Markov chain on states A,B,C. The graph in this case is strongly connected, i.e., one can move from any...

Objective Safety in epilepsy monitoring units (EMUs) has become an increasing concern because adverse events occur in up to 10% of patients undergoing long-term video EEG in EMUs. The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a specific safety protocol in an EMU. Methods We retrospectively assessed the adverse event rates in a group without (group 1, 84-month period, Innsbruck, Aus...

In the present day, mobile devices are commonly used by most of the people in any kind of environment and situation. Despite the fact that uses of these devices are so widespread, unfortunately, screens of mobile devices are not legible when we consider some difficult environmental cases. Therefore; we decide that we will develop a system which identifies the environment and state changes and t...

Early stages of many neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, vascular and frontotemporal dementia, and Parkinson's disease, are frequently associated with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). A minimally invasive screening test for early detection of MCI may be used to select optimal patient groups in clinical trials, to monitor disease progression and response to treatment, and to...
