Since a growing number of research substances for poor aqueous solubility, nanotechnology methods have gained particular significance. The term \"nanotechnology\" refers to the development and application of materials whose components are, by standard, no larger than 100 nm in size. Nanotechnology investigates structural behavior at the molecular, and sub-molecular levels. It has the potential to transform several medical and biotechnology instruments and processes into ones that are transportable, less expensive, safer, and simpler to use. Nanoparticles are used for a variety of things, including medical treatments, energy storage in solar and oxide fuel batteries, optical devices, bactericidal agents, electronic devices, biological labeling, and in the treatment of some cancers. They are also widely incorporated into a variety of materials used in everyday life. This paper seeks to provide an overview of nanoparticles, paying attention to the current innovations and future aspects.","PeriodicalId":16825,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pharmacy Practice and Community Medicine","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86673052","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}

In this research report, we first discuss the factors that need to be considered to systematically control the production of these doped semiconductor materials, then describe various doped materials and typical synthetic approaches and techniques.

Results: Majority of the participants were from age group 60 to 70 years ( n =301, 75.8%), fever and cough were present in majority of hospitalized patients ( n =180,11.7%). Majority ( n =232, 58.4%) of participants were having uncontrolled disease with yearly health service utilization of more than 3 times ( n =234, 58.9), medication recommended to majority (146, 36.8%) of participants were 4. Ceftriaxone was mostly prescribed in cough ( n =162,90%), hypertension ( n =114, 67.1%), fever ( n =154, 85.6%) of cases, while in gastritis omeprazole was mostly prescribed ( n =84, 73.7%). Most of the hospitalized patients were complaint to ceftriaxone, omeprazole, dimenhydrinate and diclofenac sodium. Conclusion: Ceftriaxone was most prescribed drugs among elderly patients that were admitted in different specialty departments. Most of the elderly patients had uncontrolled disease status. This study concluded that the compliance to medication was 82.1% of elderly patients.","PeriodicalId":16825,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pharmacy Practice and Community Medicine","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81580210","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}

Experiment was monitored by their brix, temperature and time of fermentation. The results shows that higher the brix measured, has high yield of ethanol produced, among the treatments Y2M3 (100g yeast, 250g of molasses) gained higher yield of ethanol with 40.33% produced during first distillation. On the other hand, the lowest yield was Y3M1 (150g yeast, 150g molasses) with 17% gained of distillate from the mixture and has longer fermentation period.
