Niosome as a versatile drug carrier

In recent years, numerous research articles have been published relating to the potential of niosomes to serve as a biodegradable, biocompatible carrier for the delivery of various types of drugs. Niosomes are vesicles that are mostly composed of synthetic surfactants and cholesterol. The vesicular system of niosomes, with its bilayer structure assembled by nonionic surfactants, can increase the bioavailability of a drug to a specific area for a set period of time. Niosomes' amphiphilic nature enhances their ability to encapsulate lipophilic or hydrophilic drugs. Other additives, such as cholesterol, can be used to keep the structure of the niosomes rigid. The efficient use can be defined as a lower dose, fewer side effects, fewer dosages, greater patient compliance, and maximum concentration of the drug at the site of action to reduce unnecessary exposure to the entire body. This narrative review discusses the fundamentals of niosomes, such as their structural components and methods

Design & construction of Dyke walls in a petrochemical tank farm

This technical paper shows how a dyke wall is designed and built in a Petrochemical complex. Petrochemical complexes contain tanks which store various combustible and inflammable materials like Benzene, Toluene, Xylene, and similar type of petrochemicals. The tank farm contains vertical and horizontal tanks to store the above-said materials and is constructed with plain cement concrete (500 mm thick) dyke wall around these tanks for the long life of the structures. Dyke walls of varying heights are constructed. In this study different types of dyke walls constructed based on the locally available materials are shown. The dyke walls are of various types/sizes, keeping in view the fire load aspects and distance from critical operations, area of effectiveness, ease of workmanship in construction, and cost-effectiveness. In this case study, dyke walls have been constructed using locally available materials/bricks and CC blocks. The extract of photos has been obtained from the public domain and has been used within the paper for demonstration.

Door lock using Arduino motion detector by PIR sensor

This project is mainly for the security purpose of any door, it may be for doors for normal houses, or it can be for any other kind of door. But it is better for normal house doors as another type of door has many other higher lock systems and that are better for that purpose. But house door locks are too easy and too basic to open nowadays, for which the robbery and theft are increasing this much, so as a solution it can help us to protect our home

Smart pothole detection system using crowd sourcing

Roadways are the primary mode of transportation in our daily lives. As such it is very important to be cautious about potential mishaps due to road damages which can have serious consequences. Thus for traffic safety, it becomes very important to identify the various road damages, especially the hazardous ones, as quickly as possible. In this project, we are proposing our idea on how a road damage identifier system can work to detect the damages.

Oral care practices in intensive care unit patients- A critical issue

Background: Critically ill patients, who may be unconscious or sedated while they are treated in ICUs, often need the assistance from machines to help them breathe (ventilators). The use of these machines for more than 48 hours may result in ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Oral hygiene care, using a mouth rinse, gel, toothbrush, or combination, together with suctioning secretions, may reduce the risk of VAP in these patients. There are recommendations and guidelines for oral care in the ICU administered to patients in the 2005 AACN Procedure Manual for Critical Care and the guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention respectively. However, no gold standard exists for oral care for critically ill patients who are orally intubated. Objective and method: A descriptive study using a self-administered 25 questionnaire was used to describe oral care practices performed by 100 nurses posted in ICU. Results: 84% of the respondents reported oral care practices as a high priority in ICU-administered patients. 63% of nurses provided oral care twice a day for an average duration of 20-40 seconds. The most common tool used were spatulas and gauge (30%); toothbrush (16%); spatulas, gauge, toothbrush and suctioning (14%) followed by spatulas, gauge, and suctioning (10%) with the least used being swabs and foams (2%). 83% of the responders also mentioned the use of chemical plaque control, 6% uses toothpaste, 50% used 0.12% chlorhexidine and 25% used toothpaste and chlorhexidine. Conclusion: There is a gap in actual practices compared with policies because of the variations among different organization policies.

Cognitive ability among LD and normal adolescents

In psychology, cognitive ability refers to aptitude for carrying out mental processes, such as problem-solving, adaptation, comprehension, reasoning, knowledge acquisition, abstract thought, and making connections. In education, cognitive ability is considered a foundation for learning. Learning Disabilities” refers to a variety of disorders that affect the acquisition, retention, understanding, organization, or use of verbal and/or non-verbal information. These disorders result from impairments in one or more psychological processes related to learning, in combination with otherwise average abilities essential for thinking and reasoning. Learning disabilities are specific, not global impairments, and as such are distinct from intellectual disabilities. Hence a study is conducted in order to find out the cognitive ability among LD and normal adolescents.
