The development of low cost and paediatric-friendly drug formulations for highly effective but poorly water-soluble drugs is critical to the progress of new medicines in low economy settings. Milk and infant formula are potential candidate formulations for this task, but the interaction of these systems with drugs during digestion is not well understood. We have developed small angle X-ray...
The present study investigates the radiation attenuation characteristics of particleboard phantoms made from Rhizophora spp. wood using natural product-based adhesives (SPI – soy protein isolate and SPC – soy protein concentrate) and sodium hydroxide (10 wt%) with two itaconic acid polyamidoamine-epichlorohydrin resin levels (10 and 15 wt%) at three different particle size (149 – 500, 74 –...
Massive building constructions result to high demand of cement production in recent time. This lead Obajana cement plant to operate at maximum capacity in Nigeria. Exposure to high level radiation for prolong period can result to acute health effects such as skin burns, cancer and cardiovascular disease. This study evaluates the natural radionuclides and radiological indices of cement...
In this study, quality control analysis of radiographic equipment used in the Radiology unit of 44 Nigerian
Army Reference Hospital Kaduna was carried out in order to ensure that both workers and patients were within the minimum recommended radiation exposure level. The dose rate at the operator stand,
X-ray table, corridor, change cubicle, offices, and reception were measured with survey...
