Liposomes as well as formulations based on drug-lipid complexes have been extensively investigated for the delivery of a wide range of pharmaceutical compounds. Commercial licensing of liposomal dispersions for parenteral and topical use in humans has been fairly recent and has occurred as a result of interdisciplinary scientific advances in surface chemistry, membrane biophysics, and molecular pharmacology. These developments were supported by pioneering contributions from scientists in the fields of molecular pharmaceutics, drug delivery, and chemical engineering. Thus, since their original...

Road traffic injuries account for 2.1% of global mortality. The developing countries bear a large share of burden and account for about 85% of the deaths as a result of road traffic crashes. 2] India accounts for about 10% of road accident fatalities worldwide. 3] Road accident contributed 30.2% to all kind of natural and unnatural accidental deaths during 2005 4]. According to the Institute of Road Traffic Education (2006) New Delhi, out of the estimated 1.4 million serious road accidents/ collisions occurring annually in India, hardly 0.4 million are recorded. 5] This indicates that the...
