ABSTRACTHigh resolution RP-HPLC method has been developed for the simultaneous estimation of Psuedoephedrine, Fexofenadine and Loratadine in pharmaceutical products. Separation was achievedby using C18, 150 x 4.6 mm, 5μm column at a temperature of 350C with a gradient mobile phase composed of sol-A: 0.01M pH 3.0 phosphate (KH2PO4) buffer, sol-B: Acetonitrile and gradientprogram was 0-5min, sol-A: 80-60; 5-10min- sol-A: 60-20; 10-15min- sol-A: 20-20; 15-17min- sol-A: 20-80 and 17-20min- sol-A: 80-80. Flow rate was 0.60 ml per min and measured theabsorbance at 210nm. The retention time of…
It may not be the most eaten fruit, that may be Gogurt or whatever people think is fruit today, but at least the tomato is the most Googled fruit in English-speaking countries, according to a review by World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) to coincide with Fruity Friday, which everyone who is anyone knows is tomorrow, May 13th.
The review, using data from Google's Insights for Search, suggests there are almost twice as many searches for "tomatoes" as there are for "apples", the second most Googled fruit. The data on Google searches is from Googles Insights for Search,…
The “vaccine injury” community has been buzzing over the press conference and release of Holland et al’s supposedly earth shattering “study” published in the Pace Environmental Law Review. Some of them proclaim triumphantly that they have proof the government has lied about the lack of a link between vaccines and autism. Now, here, they have the evidence. Some parents feel it’s time for a revolution, time to make the government pay for their lies. None of this rhetoric is new. Not even the information supposedly revealed in this non-scientific study published in a law review. Holland et…

I like to think I once led an eclectic, interesting life. I have bribed police in the mid-East, outrun the Bulgarian mafia while driving to get my picture taken with Albanian rebels in Macedonia and searched for the spark true conviction in ancient monasteries. I have generally thought there should be some type of D&D game about my life, or at least a TV movie of the week.
But I am not complete. For example, I have never owned a nightclub, been on any Vanity Fair 'fabulous' list, had a Haitian drug gang put out a hit on me or...died of a drug overdose. Drugs…
Obese mothers are putting babies at risk for iron deficiency, which could affect infant brain development, according to research presented today at the Pediatric Academic Societies annual meeting in Denver.
In non-pregnant adults, obesity-related inflammation hinders the transport of iron through the intestine, increasing the risk of iron deficiency anemia. When a woman is pregnant, iron is transferred through the intestine to the placenta, but it is not known how maternal obesity affects newborn iron status. Fetal iron status is important because 50 percent of the iron needed for infant…

Researchers say something about gastric bypass surgery changes the body’s metabolism that quickly improves Type 2 diabetes. But, before you call a surgeon, no one is going to be performing the surgery to treat diabetes anytime soon.

What they found was that the surgery group had dramatic…

A new study says that an individual’s intestinal bacteria flora organizes itself in certain clusters and they hypothesize this intestinal bacteria flora will have an influence on how we react to diet and medicine absorbed through the gastro-intestinal tract.
Most people know about blood types, some also know about tissue types but intestinal bacteria types is unheard of by the general public. The researchers studied 278 volunteers in total from Denmark, Italy, Spain, France, Japan and USA and, using 22 newly sequenced fecal metagenomes (yes, that is just what you think it is),…
I’m not sure how come Real Clear Science came to replace Live Science on the board, but they do have a lot of jolly good stuff. Today, following one of their links, I was heartened to read something in favour of plastics:
