Abstract

In this paper is a precipitate of various applications/projects concerning delay tolerant networks. Our study summarizes each of the applications independently, aspects consisting of purpose, network type, environment, and network setup and data collection methodology. This study is primarily done to discover common parameters that will help in generalization, pin down niches which need to be addressed in the context to attempt unification amongst different project application and also propose best technique for specialized application. Further, this paper will serve as quick reference base to summarize the details.

Abstract

The aim of the present work was improvement of ocular bioavailability of Loteprednol Etabonate, a novel drug, by prolonging its residence time in precorneal area. One of the methods is to achieve this by formulation of the solid lipid nanoparticles and then dispersing it into an in-situ gelling system. The Solid Lipid Nanoparticle was prepared by Hot Homogenisation Method. Drug/Excipient interaction was determined by Differential Scanning Calorimetry study. The Particle size and Zeta potential of solid lipid nanoparticles was measured with other evaluating parameter. Simultaneously in-situ gel was also prepared and dispersed these Solid lipid nanoparticles into in-situ gelling system. In vitro drug diffusion study was carried out from the nanosuspension using Franz diffusion cell apparatus. The release data were subjected to different models in order to evaluate their release kinetics and mechanisms. The drug diffusion was found 89% in 24 hrs. The present study conclude that it is possible to prepare solid lipid nanoparticle of Loteprednol Etabonate (LE) with desired criteria which increases the dissolution of drug and improves drug absorption and hence improve drug effect.

Abstract

A study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on knowledge regarding gratification habit among parents in selected village of Mahesana district. The research approach used was evaluative approach; design used was pre- experimental one group pre test post test design and non probability purposive sampling technique was used for sample selection. The samples were selected from the selected village of Mahesana district. The samples consisted of 30 Parents who fulfilled criteria set by the investigator. A structured questionnaire was prepared to assess knowledge of samples regarding gratification habit. Result relevant that Paired t-test was used to test the effectiveness of health teaching on knowledge. Average pretest knowledge score was 6.6 which increased to 14.4 in posttest. T-value for this comparison was 19.4 with 59 degrees of freedom. Corresponding p-value was 0.000 which is small (less than 0.05), the null hypothesis is rejected. This indicates that the knowledge of parents regarding gratification habit significantly improved after health teaching.
