TotipotentRX Cellular Medicine™ is a private company based in Los Angeles and New Delhi having experience in developing, licensing, managing, and publishing pre-clinical and early phase human clinical trials specific to the use of autologous and allogeneic cells for regenerative medicine applications, including the healing of damaged tissues and/or organs.

Vegetable research  was given impetus through establishment of AICRP on vegetable crops during 1971 at IARI,  New Delhi with the responsibilities of coordinating and monitoring of vegetable research programmes of the country.  To give a fillip to the research and to meet the challenges of nutritional security, the status of AICRP on vegetable  crops was elevated to the level of Project Directorate of Vegetable Research (PDVR) during 1986 with its headquarter at IARI, New Delhi.

Applications are invited for appointment on contractual basis for two post of National Consultant (IDD) under the National Iodine Deficiency Disorders Control Programme by the Nutrition & IDD Cell of the Directorate General of Health Services, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Govt, of India, New Delhi. The details for aforesaid post are as follows:-

SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC SIMULTANEOUS ESTIMATION OF SPIRONOLACTONE AND TORSEMIDE IN COMBINED TABLET DOSAGE FORM USING BY MULTICOMPONENT MODE OF ANALYSIS

ABSTRACT
A method for simultaneous estimation of torsemide (TRS) and spironolactone (SPL) in combined tablet dosage form has been developed. The method employs the application of multicomponent mode of analysis. This method utilize 50 % v/v methanol in distilled water. TRS show maximum absorbance at a wavelength of 288 nm and SPL at 238 nm. Where the linearity ranges for TRS and SPL were 1-5µg/ml and 5-25 µg/ml respectively. The procedure was successfully applied for the simultaneous determination of both drugs in laboratory prepared mixture and in market available tablet dosage form. The accuracy of the method was assessed by recovery studies and was found to be 98.15±0.64 and 100.27±0.15 for TRS and SPL respectively. Results of the analysis were validated statistically so that it can be used for routine analysis of TRS and SPL in combined tablet dosage form.

Abstract:
In nanotechnology, a particle is defined as a small object that behaves as a whole unit in terms of its transport and properties. It is further classified according to size: In terms of diameter, fine particles cover a range between 100 and 2500 nanometers, while ultrafine particles, on the other hand, are sized between 1 and 100 nanometers. Similarly to ultrafine particles, nanoparticles are sized between 1 and 100 nanometers. Nanoparticles may or may not exhibit size-related properties that differ significantly from those observed in fine particles or bulk materials1. Although the size of most molecules would fit into the above outline, individual molecules are usually not referred to as nanoparticles.
