Nasal mucoadhesive is the most recent, efficient and sophisticated drug delivery systems in the market and one of the topics that underline the focus of attention of many research and development institutions, comparing to the convenient oral administration this delivery system has showed better pharmacokinetic parameters with increasing the bioavailability and prolonging the residence time with a faster onset of action, adding the other advantages which mainly raised due to overcome the disadvantage
Suppositories are the frequently used dosage forms prescribed through rectal route. However, suppositories have the limitation of prolonged onset of action which can be attributed to poor drug release properties of suppository base. Surfactants can increase the drug release to aid absorption by reducing the interfacial tension between rectal fluids and the suppository base. The objective of this study was to examine the effect of different concentrations of sodium lauryl sulphate and tween 80 on
Everyone should know that a lower GI is a very common and important exam used to diagnose many colon conditions. A lower GI examination, also know as a barium enema, is an x-ray examination of the large intestine. The large intestine, or large bowel, consists of the entire colon, including the appendix, rectum, and sigmoid colon.

Imaging in Swan Hill, provide a clear concise explanation of what exactly a Barium Enema is. It specifically requires the use of a liquid Barium mixture to cover the lower GI mucosal lining. With the Addition of fluoroscopic X-ray images and air the Colons structure and caliber can be assessed. (Radiology, 2012). Bendigo Radiology provide services such as Barium Enemas to locations as far south victoria as Portland. During my first placement at Portland I was fortunate enough to be able to aid a
Enemas for Colon Health There was a time I use to consider the colon as a passage for waste products. However, after reading a couple of health related articles, I found that the colon plays many roles in the body, and not just as a passage for waste products. Unfortunately, it is one of the less recognized organs in the body.

A research study was done in order to examine the frequency of Hirschsprungs in the population as well as types of patients who were diagnosed with the disease. Of all
The gastrointestinal tract in the most common location that intussusception occurs. Generally, any areas that include freely moving segments or segments that are tightly adhered to one another, are the most affected. Intussusception has been classified as either being benign, malignant, or idiopathic, with malignancy accounting for up to 30% of cases in the small intestine. The medical appearance of adult intussusception varies considerably. The classic pediatric presentation of acute intussusception--
