The formulation and evaluation of indomethacin tablets
(University of the Western Cape, 1998)
The overall objective of this research is to attempt to produce, by direct compression,
indomethacin tablets which have good dissolution characteristics and an improved
bioavailability profile, when compared to the capsule ...
What constitutes morphological normal and abnormal human sperm heads
(University of the Western Cape, 1998)
The percentage morphologically normal sperm appears to be of predictive value in the in vitro fertilization laboratory. However, the methodology used in this context is technically inaccurate and imprecise (subjective) and ...
Listeria in food and water in the Western Cape
(University of the Western Cape, 1998)
Listeria are glam positive non-spong rods that were found in diverse environments including water, seafood, dairy products and vegetables. Outbreaks of listeriosis due to the consumption of foods contaminated L.monocytogenes, ...
Detection of phycotoxins along the South African coast: a comparison of three different biological assay systems and instrumental analysis by high performance liquid chromatography
(University of the Western Cape, 1998)
In recent years, harmful algal blooms have been of growing concern in many parts of the world. These blooms often result in deterioration in water quality, large-scale mortalities in marine life, and shellfish poisonings ...
The synthesis of prodrugs and novel analogues of Beta-sympathomimetic bronchodilators
(University of the Western Cape, 1998)
Prodrugs are reversible derivatives of active drugs destined to undergo chemical or enzymatic transformation to the active drug after administration in order that the active drug may subsequently elicit the desired ...
The influence of maternal nicotine exposure on development lung as gas exchanger: the protective effect of copper
(University of the Western Cape, 1998)
The influence of tobacco smoking on the developing fetus is well reported. Maternal nicotine exposure during pregnancy and lactation interferes with fetal and neonatal lung growth and development, rendering the lungs more ...

The antimicrobial screening of four South African Asteraceae species and the preliminary structural investigation of an antipseudomonal compound from Arctotis auriculata
(University of the Western Cape, 1998)
Infectious diseases represent one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality in developing countries, like South Africa. The indiscriminate use of antibiotics has also resulted in the emergence of a number of resistant ...
Effect of inhaled cationic poly-peptides on respiratory mechanics in the isolated perfused rat lung
(University of the Western Cape, 1998)
The inhalation route is increasingly being considered as a viable option to deliver protein drugs into the body, but there has been few studies dealing with the safety of this strategy. The results of in vitro studies have ...
