OBJECTIVE The aim of this systematic review is to quantify the extent of inappropriate prescription to elderly persons in the primary care setting. METHODS We systematically searched Ovid-Medline and Ovid-EMBASE from 1950 and 1980 respectiv...

a carbon nanocomposite electrode has been designed by incorporation of montmorillonite nanoclayinto the carbon ionic liquid electrode for the electrochemical determination of amitriptiline . the surface ofthe proposed electrode was characterized by scanning electron microscopy. the presence of ionic liquid asa binder is believed to be responsible for the electrocatalytic activity of the propose...
