Two chromatographic methods were developed for the assay of the FDA approved lozenges containing dextromethorphan hydrobromide (DXT) and menthol (MNT). The first was a green HPTLC method which depends on using Merck HPTLC aluminum sheets of silica gel 60 F254 and methanol-ammonia (10:0.1, v/v) as mobile phase. This was followed by densitometric measurements of the spots which were retained at 0.28 ± 0.01 for DXT and 0.76 ± 0.02 for MNT scanned at 210 nm. The method was found linear over the…
Good afternoon everyone, today I thought we could start with a quick survey. Could I get you to raise your hand is you have a grandparent over the age of 70, who still has a drivers license please? If we look around, this number may not seem like many but this is only a small representation on the larger population. The fact of the matter is that many elderly people still drive on our roads. For this reason, we should be making ’S’ plates compulsory for drivers over the age of 70. This would…

The fight just ended in a TKO. I started the fight with a couple jabs from the left to fly up with a right handed uppercut. He didn’t see it coming, he got about 7 hits landed, I had 27 landed and about 30 swung. I hit him in the right temple and that’s what caught him stumbling. His 7 or so hits weren’t even hard either he just wanted to get me to back up but I just kept going. When i was finished with him i went back to the changing room to destroy it and leave, we went in there and…

HRT is not as common for men as they age; only 20% of men experiences lower levels of testosterone after the age of 60 (Bjorklund, 2015).

particular it is up to me to address the very delicate subject. The management of a subject who presents problems related to its consumption of alcohol. It is precisely within the framework of the privileged relationship between a treating worker and the subject that relatively simple tools will allow me to detect in the subject a consumption of alcohol at…
What makes alcohol have such a detrimental impact on society? Way back when, before the prohibition, alcohol was the preferred drink of daily Americans; it was a way to relax, a means for fun, and even a way for people to bond.
