A mixture of osmogens i.e. NaCl and Mannitol was used to achieve a desired osmotic pressure in the tablets which were then coated with Cellulose Acetate polymer with PEG as a plasticizer and Povidone K30 as a pore former. Early screening batches showed drastic effect of osmogens and pore former, as well as % weight gain on drug release of the tablets. The prepared tablets were evaluated for Weight variation, Thickness, Hardness, Dissolution, and the final optimized formulation was exposed to Accelerated Stability Study. A full factorial statistical optimization was carried out on the best optimized formulation to establish the design space for selected factors i.e., NaCl and Povidone K30 against Response Dissolution. A significant effect of both factors was found on Dissolution rate, which justifies the use and rationale of the excipients \u0000Key Words: Carvedilol Phosphate, Osmotic Tablets, Direct Compression, NaCl, Mannitol, Cellulose Acetate.","PeriodicalId":14229,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biological Science Archive","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82083551","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The films were prepared by solvent casting technique using different film forming polymers like HPMC and Ethyl cellulose. PEG 400 used as a plastsizer. The prepared films were evaluated for number of parameters like Physical appearance, Weight variation, Thickness, Folding endurance, Tensile strength, unfolding behavior, floating properties, drug content and In vitro drug release studies. From the trial batches the best release for gastroretentive film was shown by formulation T5 (Ethyl cellulose and PEG 400). Formulation T5 exhibited good appearance, better mechanical strength with acceptable flexibility. Also, formulation T5 was given more than 90 % drug released after 12 hr and 97.56 % Drug content. For optimization of formulation, 32 factorial design was applied by taking Ethyl cellulose and PEG 400 as an independent variables. Drug release at 8 hour and folding endurance selected as dependent variables. Based on drug release study, L8 batch found most satisfactory in all formulation and the effect of Ethyl cellulose and PEG 400 found significant. L8 batch found stable during stability study. \u0000Key words: Lafutidine, Floating Films, Ethyl Cellulose.","PeriodicalId":14229,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biological Science Archive","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79116262","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The LC50 value of Azardiracta indica aqueous leaf extracts was 1.1ml/lit respectively. The sub lethal concentration for Azardiracta indica was 0.11ml/lit and 0.33 ml/lit respectively. The fishes were exposed to the sub lethal concentration for a period of 15 days. At the end of 15th day the fishes were dissected and the gill were removed from exposed and control group fishes. The tissues were processed and sectioned at 4µm and then were stained with Haematoxylin- Eosin. The observation of the slides was done under light microscope at 40x magnification and photographed. The exposed group showed histopathological changes in the tissues, such as: shrunken and narrow secondary gill lamellae, mild to moderate infiltration of inflammatory cells in the primary and secondary gill lamellae.

The month of October and November maximum numbers of birds were identified. Pelicaniformes contributed maximum number of species. Finally, least number of birds recorded in Gruiformes, Strigiformes, Psittaciformes, Gariformes, Columbiformes and Podicipitiformes. Maximum bird species were recorded in Singanallur Lake and minimum in Kumarasamy Lake. The study revealed that Kumarasamy and Singanallur Lake acts as a refuge site for many water birds.

This review updates the previous technical reviews of the original system version published in the late 1990s. There is a clear dose response for localized prostate cancer radiotherapy and there probablyis a radiobiological rationale for hypo-fractionation. Combining the two should maximize tumor control and increase the therapeutic ratio. Technical developments over the last decade have impacted virtually every aspect of the CyberKnife System. These developments have increased the geometric accuracy of the system and have enhanced the dosimetric accuracy and quality of treatment, with advanced inverse treatment planning algorithms, rapid Monte Carlo dose calculation, and post-processing tools that allow trade-offs between treatment efficiency and dosimetric quality to be explored. The CyberKnife can produce superior DVHs for sparing of rectum and bladder and excellent DVHs for target coverage compared with IMRT, and possesses dose heterogeneities to the same degree as IMRT plans. \u0000Keywords: CyberKnife System; Radiosurgery; Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy; Hypofractionation; IMRT Hetrogeneities","PeriodicalId":14229,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biological Science Archive","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81599164","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
