Diseases wherein Pulsatile drug delivery system are likely to be successful for diseases such as asthma, peptic ulcer, cardiovascular diseases, arthritis, hypertension, and hypercholesterolemia.

Abstract

Evidence suggests that there are differences in the capacity for empathy between males and females. However, how deep do these differences go? Stereo typically, females are portrayed as more nurturing and empathetic, while males are portrayed as less emotional and more cognitive. Some authors suggest that observed gender differences might be largely due to cultural expectations about gender roles. However, empathy has both evolutionary and developmental precursors, and can be studied using implicit measures; aspects that can help elucidate the respective roles of culture and biology. The aim of the present study was to measure the empathy among the adolescents' girls and boys. Total sample comprised of 80 students (40 males&40 females) from the English medium Schools, Jaipur. The standardized tool was used to measure empathy in adolescent boys and girls. The results had shown there is a significance difference in the level of empathy in boys and girls.
