Characterization of Formed Third Phase in the Nitric Acid-30% TBP/n-Dodecane System
Abstract: In solvent extraction operations, limited solubility of extracted solvate in the organic phase results in partitioning of the later into two phases, called light organic and heavy organic phase respectively. The phenomenon is studied well and reported for tetravalent actinides in TBP systems but nitric acid third phase in TBP systems was almost neglected. In this study, nitric acid third phase was generated for TBP system and its characterization has …

Tuberculosis Treatment Outcomes among TB Patients at FenoteSelam District Hospital, West Gojjam Zone, Amhara, Northwest Ethiopia
Abstract: Introduction: Tuberculosis is a major public health problem throughout the world. One third of the world’s population is estimated to be infected with bacilli and hence at risk of developing active disease. It is the second leading cause of death from an infectious disease worldwide after HIV, which caused an estimated 1.8 million deaths. The main reason for this is the high rate of death as an unsuccessful outcome. Incomplete …

Community-based Study, Demographic and Socio-Economic Factors Associated with TB in Rural Jaipur NIMS Hospital
Abstract: This study showed that fewer women sought care in out-patient clinics for respiratory symptoms, fewer submitted sputum for testing, and if tested, fewer were smear-positive. This implies persistent lower representation of females at the different clinical steps for TB management using DOTS at community level. These findings raise grave concerns about the gender sensitive DOTS strategy for TB control. The findings indicate that an epidemiology of TB complicated by gender …
