The traditional method clearance involves to physically visits offices; affairs, bursary, library, sports and registry department get endorsed for is time consuming, requires visit various offices some key staff may not available at the there possibility...

INTRODUCTION The cancellation of surgery wastes theatre time and creates hardship for patients, who often plan their working and family lives around the proposed operation date. METHODS A retrospective evaluation of cancellations of scheduled elective and urgent operations was done using theatre records from May 2006 to April 2007. The reasons for cancellation were examined. RESULTS Of a to...

The clearance rate of liposomal drugs from the circulation is determined by the rate and extent of both drug release and uptake of liposomes by cells of the mononuclear phagocyte system (MPS). Intravenously injected liposomes initially come into contact with serum proteins. The interaction of liposomes with serum proteins is thought to play a critical role in the liposome clearance. Therefore, ...

Nonlinear hunting speeds of railway vehicles running on a tangent track are analytically obtained using Hopf bifurcation theory in this paper. The railway vehicle model consists of nonlinear primary yaw dampers, nonlinear flange contact stiffness as well as the clearance between the wheel flange and rail tread. Linear and nonlinear critical speeds are obtained using Bogoliubov method. A compreh...

background: hemodialysis is a process of removing waste and excess fluid from blood when kidneys cannot function efficiently. it often involves diverting blood to the filter of the dialysis machin to be cleared of toxic substances. fouling of pores in dialysis membrane caused by adhesion of plasma protein and other toxins will reduce the efficacy of the filtre. objective: in this study, the inf...

Chronic bronchitis is in part characterized by mucus hypersecretion and the inability to clear airways of mucus. Despite years of research in this area, to date there are no pharmacologic therapies available to enhance or promote mucociliary clearance. P2Y(2) receptor agonists are a new class of mucoactive compounds that are currently under development for this purpose. This article will review...
