Achievement of AC Voltage Traceability and Uncertainty of NIS, Egypt through Capabilities of NIST, USA

This paper describes the methodology used to achieve the AC voltage traceability and the associated uncertainty in National Institute for Standards (NIS), Egypt via the capabilities of National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST), USA.  The methodology includes the use of the thermal voltage converters (TVCs) and micropotentiometers (µPots) via a new automated calibration system for determination of the AC-DC Differences at different frequencies.  To confirm the results of this process, a bilateral comparison with NIST was organized through a set of (TVCs) to cover the range from 1 V to 200 V at frequencies of 55 Hz, 1 kHz, 10 kHz and 200 kHz.  The comparison results associated with the uncertainty analysis are also discussed in this paper.  For low values of AC voltage, new three µPots were fabricated at NIST to establish the traceability from 50 mV to 200 mV at frequencies from 20 Hz to 1 MHz. The converters used in this work are also modeled then simulated using LT-spice/SwCAD III simulator. Keywords: electrical measurements, thermal voltage converter, micropotentiometer, modelling and electrical simulation, uncertainty analysis, bilateral comparison

EFFECT OF BIODEGRADABLE CO-POLYMERS AND DIVALENT CATIONS ON THE SUSTAINED RELEASE ABILITY OF PROPRANOLOL HYDROCHLORIDE LOADED BIOMATERIAL MICROSPHERES

Objective: Propranolol Hydrochloride (PHCL) is used for the treatment of hypertension and angina pectoris; however it has two major problems; short biological halfâ€life and low bioavailability, so the aim of the present work was to develop PHCL mucoadhesive microsphere to prolong the residence time at the absorption site, therefore, increase the bioavailability.Methods: PHCL microspheres were prepared by ionotropic gelation method using nature polymers. Factorial design (33) was used to develop PHCL mucoadhesive microspheres, the independent factors used were polymer type (Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (Na CMC), and Hydroxyl propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC), Carpobol 940), cross-linking type (calcium chloride, zinc chloride and barium chloride) and the concentration of Chitosan (0.5, 1, 1.5 %w/v). The developed microspheres were physicochemical characterized. The selected formula was selected for mucoadhesive test and in vivo study on human volunteers.Results: The results revealed that the PHCL mucoadhesive microspheres have good flowability, the mean particle sizes ranged from 541 to 815 µm and the entrapment efficiency ranged from 35.6% to 69.53%. The selected PHCL microspheres showed spherical particles with a rough surface and exhibited a slow release over 8h. The pharmacokinetic data of selected PHCL microspheres showed prolonged Tmax, decreased Cmax and AUC0–∞ value of 926.21±40.74ng. h/ml indicating improved relative bioavailability by144.93% compared with marketed tablets.Conclusion: PHCL microspheres were successfully prepared by ionic gelatin method that retards the release and enhances the oral bioavailability.Keywords: Propranolol HCL, Microspheres, Ionic gelation method, Chitosan, Relative bioavailabilit

Implementation of Critical Threshold Concept in Clinical Transplantation: A New Horizon in Distance Learning

Background: While variations in medical practice are a norm and each patient poses a multitude of challenges, many clinicians are not comfortable in dealing with unexpected complex issues even though they may have enough knowledge as demonstrated by passing a number of tricky certifying (or exit) examinations. One reason for the lack of self-efficacy, even if being endowed with good knowledge, is that we are not good in learning from errors. A regular reflective practice offers superb learning opportunities when a clinician is “stuck in a mire”. Difficult clinical situations warrant a flexible and, at the same time, an evidence-based approach to ensure that crucial decision-making process is correct and efficient. Each clinical case offers a great opportunity to reinforce these “threshold concepts”, however, not everyone of us is “blessed” with these crucial not-so-difficult-to-acquire skills so necessary to be a life-long learner. The faculty of this course (a totally on-line MSc in Transplant Sciences) aims for unceasing engagement with students in order to facilitate them to negotiate through “stuck places” and “tricky bends” in their own work place. This course, not just meant for knowledge transfer, provides a platform that allows participants (the students and faculty) to learn from each other’s experience by using “e-blackboard”. The mainstay of this course are twofold: (a) Emphasis on achieving critical decision-making skills, (b) Regular feedback to allow reflective practice and, thereby, constantly learning from errors and reinforcing good practices. The aim of this article is to assess the performance of educators and how well the “ethos of critical threshold” has been accepted from the perspective of students. Methods: The critical thresholds of each chapter in 4 modules of this totally on-line course were defined to a razor-sharp precision. Learning objectives of learning activity were defined to achieve constructive alignment with critical threshold. We employed level 1, 2, 4 and 5 of Kirkpatrick pyramid, (a) for the evaluation of performance of educators of program, and (b) to evaluate the acceptance of this non-traditional format in clinical medicine education by postgraduate 80 students in 22 countries.Results: Students’ survey (Kirkpatrick level 1) was done only for module 1 of cohort 1 reported students’ satisfaction rate of 93%. Excluding a total of 12 drop-outs in 2 modules (n=10 in first cohort’s module 1, and n=2 in module 2), as many as 93% of students of first cohort passed module. Nine out of 60 registrants of module 1 in 2nd cohort took recess for one year requesting to join back as a part of 3rd cohort commencing one year later, all 51 who continued passed though 3 of them had to resit. All those who passed module 1 (both cohorts) and 2 (1st cohort) registered for their respective next module (return on investment Kirkpatrick level 5). Conclusion: For a successful model in distance learning in clinical transplantation it is imperative for the students to accomplish well defined “critical-decision making” skills. In order to learn critical thresholds, a regular feedback is integral to learning from reflective practice. This course equips the students to develop skills of negotiating “sticky mire”, as obvious from perceived high return of investment
