Citric acid is widely used in pharmaceutical preparation, therefore, a relatively simple but reliable methode of analysis need to be established. A critic acid solution (1 percent) was determined by alkalimetric method using NaOH standard solution and by complexometric method using EDTA standard solution. The precision and accuracy were then statistically compared. An official mixture consistin…
A guideline for management of hyperbilirubinemia in the newborns based solely on total/indirect serum bilirubin levels is considered outmoded. And approach to the identification of newborns at risk of bilirubin toxicity due to the increase of unbound bilirubin is proposed. Unbound bilirubin can easily enter the brain and bind to the nerve cells. A peroxidase oxidation method using unbound bilir…
During the progression stage, malignant tumors showed heterogenecity with some cells showing invasive and metastatic capabilities. Bone metastasis is usually hematogenic and predominantly in red bone marrow. This is supported by retrograde vein flow (Botson's plexus), micro-anatomy of the vascularized channels in red bone marrow in sinusoid system, high blood flow and higher concentration of cy…
Derivative spectrophotometric assay methods for dextromethorphane hydrobomide in twelve cough tablets containing single compound as a well as its combination have been performed. Spectrogram of normal spectrophotometry, is a plot of absorbance A against wavelength, (lambda), in derivative technique, the plot is transformed into a plot of dA/dlambda vs lambda for first derivative, and d2A/dlambd…
Photostability of parasetamol has been investigated. The investigation was aimed to study the effect of light on the stability of parasetamol in solution. The role of coloured glasses was also studied. An ethanolic solution of parasetamol (1 in 100 ethanol 10 percent), in coloured and colourless glasses was irradiated with sunlight for two weeks. An unirradiated solution was also prepared as co…
