Dielectric properties of a novel colloidal oral matrix drug carrier.

Dielectric Spectroscopy (DS) was employed to study a novel oral matrix carrier (OMC), composed from silica nano-particles, polysaccharides, biopolymers and natural oils. This composition self-orders to a multi hierarchal structure and as such is amenable to be studied by techniques such as DS. The dielectric properties were measured in the frequency range 1MHz-1GHz and a temperature range 10°C-45°C.

Application of muscle biopotential measurement for sustained, noninvasive blood glucose survey.

Biopotential, the electric potential generated by living tissues, is affected by changes in extracellular electrolyte and glucose concentrations. We aimed to apply correlation between blood glucose concentrations (BGC) and biopotential of peripheral muscles for noninvasive blood glucose measurement. The study included 58 Wistar rats.
