This document describes a wet granulation process using a cylindrical container with perforated walls where a rotating rotor forces wet mass through the walls using blades to form granules, which are then collected and dried. The process has disadvantages of being time-consuming, requiring multiple equipment, and resulting in material losses during transfers between stages.
A nice introduction to Cephalosporins, how they work, the different generations, spectrum, uses, side effects, pharmacokinetics and common trade names in Egyptian market.
This document discusses cephalosporins, a class of beta-lactam antibiotics. It describes their mechanism of action as inhibiting transpeptidases called penicillin binding proteins, disrupting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls. Cephalosporins are divided into five generations based on their spectrum of activity and resistance to beta-lactamases. Each newer generation has increased activity against gram-negative rods and decreased activity against gram-positive cocci. The document provides examples of therapeutic uses, dosages, and adverse effects for each generation of cephalosporins. It highlights that the fifth generation cephalosporin ceftarolinefosamil was approved in 2010 and is effective against methicillin
Cephalosporins are a class of antibiotics derived from the fungus Cephalosporium acremonium. They were first isolated in 1948 and are chemically related to penicillins. There are several generations of cephalosporins that have been developed with expanded spectra of activity. First generation cephalosporins such as cefazolin and cephalexin are effective against gram-positive bacteria. Later generations have activity against more gram-negative bacteria with third generation drugs like cefotaxime and ceftriaxone used to treat serious infections. Cephalosporins are generally well-tolerated but can cause adverse effects like diarrhea, rash, bleeding and hypersensitivity reactions in some

Lehman Brothers and the subprime crisis.pptxMarina Ibrahim
Lehman Brothers was a major global investment bank that filed for bankruptcy in 2008 during the subprime mortgage crisis. It originated from a general store in Alabama in the mid-1800s and grew to become one of the largest investment banks in the world. However, its downfall was precipitated by the subprime mortgage crisis after it invested heavily in mortgage-backed securities and collateralized debt obligations composed of risky subprime loans. As borrowers began defaulting on these risky loans in large numbers, the value of these investments plunged, severely damaging Lehman Brothers' business and ultimately causing it to collapse.

E-ciggarettes & work productivity- research.pptxMarina Ibrahim
E-cigarette use in the workplace can negatively impact productivity and employee health. A survey found that the majority of employees see colleagues vaping at work, and most feel bothered by it. While vaping may be used to quit smoking, exposure to secondhand vaping in the workplace encourages tobacco use and relapse. Regulations are needed to restrict vaping in offices to protect employees and support quitting efforts. Employers should implement tobacco-free policies and provide resources to address this workplace issue.
Senior managers play an important but indirect role in developing strategy as everyday decisions by divisional, middle, and operational managers determine how resources are allocated and opportunities are pursued. These managers have dispersed knowledge, power, and perspectives that shape strategy in a bottom-up fashion. For strategy to be coherent, senior leaders must understand how decisions are made throughout the organization and intervene when necessary to ensure resource allocation aligns with strategic objectives.
Cost Effective measures that can be used to restrain the rising incidence of ...Marina Ibrahim
Cost effective management requires implementing effective strategies while balancing resources and demands. In Egypt, chronic diseases cause 70% of deaths, including hepatitis C (HCV) which affected 7% of adults in 2015. Egypt launched an aggressive HCV screening and treatment program from 2014-2021. Each successive wave reduced costs while improving health outcomes and cost effectiveness. Wave 3 using the WHO-qualified test was most cost effective. Country-wide HCV elimination programs can improve health and reduce economic burden, showing the potential for worldwide scalability of similar programs.

- Cryptocurrency is digital currency that uses cryptography to secure transactions and control the creation of new units. Bitcoin was the first cryptocurrency, created in 2008 by an unknown person under the name Satoshi Nakamoto.
- Bitcoin uses blockchain technology to achieve a decentralized consensus on transactions without a central authority. Miners verify transactions and are rewarded with new bitcoins for solving complex math problems. This process, called proof-of-work, secures the network against fraud.
- While Bitcoin has no intrinsic value, its price has risen dramatically since inception due to speculation. However, Bitcoin remains highly volatile and its long-term value is uncertain since it is not backed by any government or central bank.

Word-of-mouth marketing (WOMM) is when customers share their experiences and opinions about a company's products and services with others. It is a free and effective form of advertising. Netflix is an example of a company that utilizes WOMM through personal recommendations on social media. To encourage positive WOMM, companies should focus on exceeding customer expectations and providing opportunities for customer engagement. Monitoring both customer lifetime value and customer referral value can help companies optimize their WOMM strategy.
The Hawthorne Studies conducted experiments at Western Electric Company in Chicago from 1924-1932 to understand how human behavior affects productivity. The studies found that productivity increased with any changes made, including increased lighting or shorter hours, due to the attention paid to workers rather than the changes themselves. Later experiments confirmed social bonds between workers and feeling valued by management positively impacted productivity more than financial incentives alone. The studies established that social and psychological factors are more important for motivation than physical working conditions.

The nasal route provides an alternative to intravenous administration by offering a large surface area, porous membrane, and avoidance of first-pass metabolism. The optimal particle size for nasal delivery is 3-7 microns. More lipophilic drugs are better absorbed. Permeation enhancers, prodrugs, and mucoadhesive polymers can improve nasal absorption by inhibiting enzymes, overcoming mucociliary clearance, and enhancing permeation. Calcitonin is used nasally for osteoporosis and its pain management. The bioavailability of nasal calcitonin is only 3% compared to subcutaneous injection but can be improved using absorption enhancers like Intravail.
Liposomes are microscopic phospholipid bubbles with a bilayered membrane structure that can be used to deliver drugs. Developments over the past 50 years have led to their use in clinical applications. Modifications like PEG coating and attaching ligands allow for long-circulating liposomes and targeted delivery to specific cells. New ligands under investigation include antibodies, folate, transferrin, and growth factors to target receptors overexpressed on tumor cells. pH-sensitive liposomes are also an area of focus to release drugs intracellularly.
Opioid drugs like morphine produce their pharmacological effects like analgesia by acting on neuronal cell membrane receptors. Morphine was first isolated in 1804 and is used to treat dull constant pain. It causes side effects like euphoria, nausea, constipation and respiratory depression due to binding to mu, kappa and delta opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord. Several morphine analogs were developed as drugs, including codeine, heroin, methadone, levorphanol, fentanyl, dipipanone, sufentanil and tapentadol, by modifying functional groups on morphine. These analogs have varying degrees of potency and side effect profiles compared to morphine.
Hepatitis is inflammation of the liver that can be caused by viruses. Viral hepatitis means a specific virus is causing liver inflammation. Hepatitis C affects many people worldwide with varying symptoms ranging from fatigue and nausea to jaundice. Risk factors include sharing drug equipment or personal hygiene items with blood. Prevention involves not sharing these items and properly handling needles. Hepatitis C is tested through antibody and PCR tests and treated through combination therapy of pegylated interferon and ribavirin injections and tablets for 6-12 months.
