Abstract:
Bioavailability is a pharmacokinetic term that describes the rate and extent to which the active drug ingredient is absorbed from a drug product and becomes available at the site of drug action. Since pharmacologic response is generally related to the concentration of drug at the receptor site, the availability of a drug from a dosage form is a critical element of a drug product’s clinical efficacy. However, drug concentrations usually cannot be readily measured directly at the site of drug.The availability of different formulations of the same drug substance given at the same strength and in the same dosage form poses a special challenge to health care professionals, making these issues very relevant to pharmacists in all practice settings. Since pharmacists play an important role in product-selection decisions, they must understand the principles and concepts of bioavailability and bioequivalence. Co administration of oral intake of herbs, supplements, foods and drugs with other drug(s) may affects pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamics of the drugs. Although these interactions are often associated with undesired outcomes such as adverse drugs reactions, sub therapeutic effects or they can also produce potentially desired effects. Desired pharmacokinetic effects include enhancing of the bioavailability of a drug (i.e., by increasing the rate of the absorption and/or inhibiting metabolism)

Abstract:
Tumble between the sheets may have lasted only for 30 seconds, but it turns out, the high got from sex lasts for three hours. A recent study of newly wed couples indicated that partners experience a sexual afterglow that lasts for up to three hours and this afterglow is linked with relationship quality over the long term. Researcher reported that sexual satisfaction remains elevated three hours after sex. And people with a stronger sexual afterglow, that has, people who report a higher level of sexual satisfaction three hours after sex, report higher levels of relationship satisfaction several months later. Researchers has theorized that sex plays a crucial role in pair bonding, but most adults report having sex with their partners every few days, not every day. Sex might provide a short-term boost to sexual satisfaction, sustaining the pair bond in between sexual experiences and enhancing partner’s relationship satisfaction over the long term. To test their hypothesis, the researchers examined data from two independent, longitudinal studies, one with 96 newly wed couples and another with 118 newlywed couples with different color. All of the couples has completed at least three consecutive days of a 14-day daily diary as part of a larger study. Every night, before going to bed, the newlyweds has asked to report independently whether they have sex with their partner that day. Regardless of the answer, they have asked to rate how satisfied with their sex life that day and how satisfied they have with their partner, their relationship and their marriage that day (on a 7-point scale, where 1=not at all, 7=extremely).

Title: Optimization of Aceclofenac proniosomes by using mannitol as a carrier
Biography:
Rana Mhd Farid Sammouris lecturer in Pharmaceutics Department at Dubai Pharmacy College, UAE. She has completed her Master of Science in Pharmacy ( Msc Pharm ) in Pharmaceutical Technology from Ajman University , Ajman, UAE and Bachelor (Honor) in Pharmacy from Dubai Pharmacy College, UAE.
Abstract:
Aim is to optimize a free-flowing and stable proniosome formulation of Aceclofenac that is considered as a poorly water-soluble drug by using mannitol as a carrier. Slurry method were used for the preparation of the proniosomes by using span60, cholesterol, mannitol and Aceclofenac as a drug. Different characterization were done for the prepared proniosomes such as DSC, FTIR and flowability. While Entrapment Efficiency and Zetapotential with Zetasizer were done for the niosomes derived from Aceclofenac proniosomes after hydration. In vitro drug released were studied by using the diffusion membrane technique and percentage of drug release were analyzed by using HPLC method. The proniosomal powder were compatible and exhibited excellent flowability. The niosomes derived from
