1. DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM A fast-dissolving drug delivery system, in most cases, is a tablet that dissolves or disintegrates in the oral cavity without the need for water or chewing. Most fast dissolving delivery system films must include substances to mask the taste of the active ingredient. This masked active ingredient is then swallowed by the patient’s saliva along with the soluble and insoluble excipients. Improved patient compliance is a primary benefit of the fast-dissolving drug delivery systems. Other benefits of fast-dissolving tablet systems include ease of swallowing, no water necessary for administration, and accuracy of dosage. The main difference between the Quick-Dis™ drug delivery system and most conventional fast dissolving dosage form is…

buprenorphine/naloxone in the polymer matrix which begins delivering the drug once it contacts the mucous membrane.[2] The non-mucoadhesive bioerodable polymer backing layer facilitates one way flow of buprenorphine into the mucosa and prevents the drug from flowing into the mouth and being swallowed due to it's occlusive properties.[2] Propylene glycol is used as a plasticizing agent to improve flexibility of the film and control the erosion rate of the film. [2] The mucoadhesive side of the…

1. Describe the clinical trials process of how a drug is approved by the FDA. The clinical trials process can be divided into four phases. Phase one, the researchers recruit a small group of healthy people (20-100 people) into the trial. This phase focuses on absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination. The small dose will be administered. At the end of phase one, the safe dosage and the best route to administer drug will be set. Phase two is similar to phase one. The difference is…

it is officially owned by the person/group that recorded it (registering it at a copyright office isn’t mandatory, but is recommended).

When the European rule was abolished in these underdeveloped countries, the countries became economically and politically weak once again. The colonized parts of the world were dependent on the countries that colonized them. They no longer had the resources needed to develop (because the European countries had taken most of them) and become a modern developed country like those of the Western World. In addition, the African and Asian countries no longer had the political organization and…

According to Bowman (2005) “ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS are better suited for use in EHR systems than ICD-9-CM as they represent modern medical practice and clinical knowledge, permit more robust mapping from SNOWMED-CT, and are more amenable to use in an electronic environment” (p 14). Ms. Greene would also be required to review past health information on paper and online records and create a cross-walk to the current ICD-10-CM codes. ICD-10-CM provides much more detailed information than ICD-9-CM…

Individuals in poor nations have a tendency to have less access to health care services than those in better-off nations, and inside nations, the poor have less access to wellbeing services. Despite the fact that an absence of financial resources or data can make hindrances to getting to services, the causal relationship between access to health services and poverty keeps running in the other direction. At the point when human services are required however is postponed or not obtained,…

Introduction The world has become a better place than it used to be. Individuals are healthier, live longer, and wealthier, yet the escape from poverty by many has left inequality gaps between nations and individuals. In the book The Great Escape, Angus Deaton, who is one of the leading experts on economic poverty and development, narrates an incredible story of how some parts of the world in the past experienced progress while others did not, leading to inequality in today’s world (Deaton).…

larger cultural gap between developed and developing countries was present during the Ebola outbreak of 1994 in the DRC, in comparison to the 2014 Ebola outbreak in Sierre Leone. This cultural gap has, however lessened, as a result of global social development. International travel and trade has increased bringing more citizens from developed countries into direct contact with individuals from Ebola-infected regions. This creates a system in which high levels of business opportunities draw…
