SOLID DISPERSION: AN APPROACH TO ENHANCE ORAL BIOAVAILABILITY OF POORLY WATER SOLUBLE DRUGS
Improving oral bioavailability of drugs those used as solid dosage forms remains a challenge for the formulation scientists due to solubility problems associated with it. The dissolution rate could be the rate-limiting process in the absorption of a drug from a solid dosage form of relatively insoluble drugs. Solid dispersion techniques have attracted the considerable interest in improving the d...

ELECTRONIC NOSE APPLICATIONS IN MEDICAL FIELD
According to the research by the World Health Organisation (WHO), 36 million people die each year due to various health problems. However, this number can be reduced if patients are detected early and treated properly. The expansion and use of electronic nose have many applications in the healthcare, and a bio-medical field is rapid to accelerate over the past 25 years. Many e-nose technologies ha...

A REVIEW ON FAST DISSOLVING FILMS FOR BUCCAL DELIVERY OF LOW DOSE DRUGS
Fast-dissolving drug-delivery systems were first developed in the late 1970s as an alternative to tablets, capsules, and syrups for pediatric and geriatric patients who experience difficulties swallowing traditional oral solid- dosage forms. Fast dissolving films have become a novel approach to oral drug delivery system as it provides convenience and ease of use over other dosage forms such as ora...

SUSTAIN RELEASE FORMULATION AND EVALUATION OF CIPROFLOXACIN SUSTAIN RELEASE TABLET AND ITS COMPARISON WITH MARKET PRODUCT
In this study, an attempt was made to design and evaluate oral sustained release matrix tablets of ciprofloxacin using methocel K4M CR, HPMC 15 cps, avicel PH 101 as the retardant polymer. Tablets were prepared by conventional wet granulation technique. Tablets were evaluated for parameters such as weight variation, hardness, friability, and drug content. All the formulations showed compliance wit...

DESIGN OF LOW COST ARM CONTROL ROBOTIC MOVING WHEEL CHAIR FOR ELDERLY & PHYSICALLY DISABLED PERSONS
This paper deals with the concept of design and implementation of a low-cost model of an arms control moving chair using ATmega8.This moving chair can move forward, backward, left, and right. This is done with the movement (tilt) of the accelerometer, and the chair stops when there is no movement of the accelerometer. The values of the three-dimensional axis of the accelerometer can be varied and ...
