New technique improves purity of medicines
Dutch researcher Roelof Mol has investigated possibilities for more accurately determining the composition of medicines. He came up with a combination of two techniques that were previously considered to be incompatible: the separation technique electrokinetic chromatography (EKC) and the detection technique mass spectroscopy (MS). view more (2007-10-25)
Colluding with colloids: Scientists make liquid crystal discovery
What do milk, paint, ink and liquid crystals have in common? Colloids. Findings of Kent State University scientists indicate that manipulating the size of colloids, micron-sized or nanometer-sized particles, can produce huge changes in the material properties of liquid crystals. view more (2006-12-18)
Over the counter cough medicines may be an unnecessary expense
There is little evidence for or against the effectiveness of over the counter cough medicines for adults, and they may be an unnecessary expense, finds a study in this week's BMJ. Researchers at the University of Bristol reviewed 15 trials, involving over 2,000 patients, that compared oral over the counter cough medicines with placebo in adults... view more... (2002-02-06)
Greater vigilance needed on safety of over the counter drugs
It is currently rare for pharmacists to record the details of patients to whom they sell over the counter medicines but an editorial in this week's BMJ argues that it would be in the public health interest for pharmacists to do so. David Clark of the Department of Pharmacology, University of Otago, New Zealand and Layton and Saad Shakir of the... view more... (2001-09-26)
Stringent regulation of traditional medicines is urgently needed
Traditional Chinese medicines for slimming still cause health problems and stringent regulation is urgently needed, according to a letter in this week's BMJ. Researchers at Southend Hospital in Essex analysed several slimming preparations and the urine of several patients who had been attending a particular Chinese herbalist for weight loss... view more...

Research exposes the risk to infants from the chemicals used in liquid medicines
A team of medical scientists from the University of Leicester has published research which looks into the harmful substances in liquid medicines that premature babies are being exposed to. view more (2009-01-22)
Risks of increased access to over-the-counter medicines may outweigh benefits
The risks of increasing people's access to over-the-counter medicines may outweigh the benefits, warn experts in this week's BMJ. view more (2008-03-28)
Study finds parents use cough medicines on under-2s despite the warnings
More than 40 per cent of parents have used cough medicine for children younger than two - even though it is not recommended, nor proven effective for children in this age group, an Australia-first study has found. view more (2008-05-16)
Recycling liquid crystal display screens
GAIKER Technological Centre is taking part in a European project under the auspices of the VI Framework Programme involving the reuse and recycling of liquid crystal display screens (ReLCD) employed in the manufacture of devices such as laptops, electronic agendas, calculators, mobile telephones, electronic video-games, audio equipment,... view more...

Liquid crystal multilayer study promises improvements in manufacturing techniques for LCD's
In order to successfully fabricate a commercial Liquid Crystal Display, uniform orientation of the liquid crystal (LC) molecules is required. view more (2005-10-12)
Scientists Unlock the Mystery of Liquid Crystal Alignment
The alignment of liquid crystals in devices such as lap-top computers and palm pilots makes the displays on these devices readable. view more (2005-12-21)
Nanoparticles Double Their Chances of Getting Into Sticky Situations
Chemistry researchers at the University of Warwick have found that tiny nanoparticles could be twice as likely to stick to the interface of two non mixing liquids than previously believed. view more (2009-02-17)
Butterfly proboscis to sip cells
A butterfly's proboscis looks like a straw -- long, slender, and used for sipping -- but it works more like a paper towel, according to Konstantin Kornev of Clemson University. He hopes to borrow the tricks of this piece of insect anatomy to make small probes that can sample the fluid inside of cells. view more (2009-11-23)
Abrupt withdrawal of drugs to prepare for surgery can be dangerous
(Editorial: The risks of interrupting drug treatment before surgery) Abruptly stopping drug treatments before surgery can be dangerous and increase the risk of postoperative complications, suggests an editorial in this week?s BMJ. Surgery, particularly major abdominal surgery, affects the rate at which stomach contents are emptied, so reducing... view more... (2000-09-19)
Breakthrough in Alzheimer's research
A combination of proteins in the cerebrospinal fluid can reliably identify which patients with early symptoms of dementia will subsequently develop full-blown Alzheimer's disease, a research team at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, has found in a major international study. view more (2009-08-12)
Astronomers hunt Martian water from Earth
As Mars makes its closest approach in almost 60,000 years, two Australian astronomers have used the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope (UKIRT) in Hawaii to look for signs that the planet once had liquid water - and so may have hosted life. Dr. Jeremy Bailey of the Anglo-Australian Observatory and the Australian Centre for Astrobiology (ACA) at... view more... (2003-08-26)
A 'first' for Parkinson`s Disease sufferers
As many as 6,000 sufferers of Parkinson's Disease in Wales are to benefit from an unique telephone counselling service, which is the first of its kind in Europe. Pharmacists at Cardiff University's Welsh School of Pharmacy have created a Medicines Information Helpline for patients with Parkinson's disease, their carers and healthcare... view more...

Another step toward a liquid telescope on the moon
An international team including researcher Ermanno Borra, from Universite Laval's Center for Optics, Photonics, and Laser, has taken another step toward building a liquid telescope on the moon. view more (2007-06-21)
ACHEMASIA 2004: Scale-out for Highest Product Purity
The Institut für Mikrotechnik Mainz GmbH (IMM) has developed a flexible system which evenly distributes a liquid flow to six different micromixers without an active flow regulation being necessary. The liquid distribution system was operated with selected impinging jet micro mixers and specifically adjusted separation layer micro mixers... view more... (2004-05-13)
Whose Interests Does The World Trade Organisation Serve? (P 269)
This week's Lancet editorial calls for the World Trade Organisation (WTO) to clarify the alteration of trading restrictions to enable poor countries to access affordable medicines.
