Inhibition of skin inflammation in mice by diclofenac in vesicular carriers: Liposomes, ethosomes and PEVs
2013
Diclofenac-loaded phospholipid vesicles, namely conventional liposomes, ethosomes and PEVs (penetration enhancer-containing vesicles) were developed and their efficacy in TPA (phorbol ester) induced skin inflammation was examined. Vesicles were made from a cheap and unpurified mixture of phospholipids and diclofenac sodium; Transcutol P and propylene glycol were added to obtain PEVs, and ethanol to produce ethosomes. The structure and lamellar organization of the vesicle bilayer were investigated by transmission electron microscopy and small and wide angle X-ray scattering, as well as the main physico-chemical features. The formulations, along with a diclofenac solution and commercial Volta…
A fugacity model assessment of ibuprofen, diclofenac, carbamazepine, and their transformation product concentrations in an aquatic environment
2018
An updated version of FATEMOD, a multimedia fugacity model for environmental fate of organic chemicals, was set up to assess environmental behaviour of three pharmaceuticals in northern Lake Päijänne, Finland. Concentrations of ibuprofen, diclofenac, and carbamazepine were estimated at various depths at two sites: near a wastewater treatment plant and 3.5 km downstream the plant. When compared with environmental sampling data from corresponding depths and sites, the predicted concentrations, ranging from nanograms to hundreds of nanograms per litre, were found to be in good agreement. Weather data were utilised with the model to rationalise the effects of various environmental parameters on…
Eficacia analgésica del diclofenaco sódico vs. ibuprofeno después de la extracción quirúrgica de un tercer molar inferior incluido
2004
-Objetivo: En este estudio evaluamos la eficacia analgésica del diclofenaco sódico en comparación con el ibuprofeno, después de la extracción quirúrgica de un tercer molar inferior incluido. -Diseño de estudio: Los pacientes que participaron en el estudio fueron distribuidos de forma aleatoria en dos grupos. Uno fue el grupo ibuprofeno y el otro el grupo diclofenaco. La intervención practicada fue la extracción quirúrgica de un tercer molar inferior cuya dificultad fue determinada en función del grado de inclusión en todos los pacientes. Las variables registradas fueron la intensidad del dolor y la necesidad de medicación de rescate durante un periodo de una semana. Los registros se realiza…

Caracterización de las áreas urbanas gallegas en función de los flujos de movilidad obligada
2010
La realidad territorial en los municipios gallegos evolucionó a ritmos dispares, afectados por dinámicas muy diferentes en cada uno de los casos. Los problemas en la aplicación de la normativa urbanística y de los instrumentos técnicos para la gestión del suelo gestaron unos ámbitos urbanos desconectados de su realidad metropolitana. Las áreas de influencia en las ciudades de Galicia presentan modelos complejos, adaptados a las dificultades que les privaron de una gestión prudente y coherente de los nuevos territorios urbanos. En la evaluación de la nueva realidad urbana, de sus condiciones y características, la movilidad residencial y la recurrente diaria es un elemento de primer rango de …
El monasterio jerónimo de Santa María de la Murta (Valencia)
1995
El edificio se levantó sobre el solar que ocupaban las ermitas de San Jerónimo, Nuestra Señora y San Miguel y según Sigüenza era de reducido tamaño. "Edificose la casa entre las peñas de aquel valle, tan pequeña como agora se vee, aunque trapda con tan buen ingenio, que pone en admiracion a los que la veen por lo de fuera, y de repente, no pudiendo entender como en tan pequeño edificio y casa puede aver cumplimiento de casa de San Geronimo, claustro, celdas, dormitorio, refetorio, y otras oficinas, y ay todo esto tan bueno, que es de lo bueno".
Hepatocytes--the choice to investigate drug metabolism and toxicity in man: in vitro variability as a reflection of in vivo.
2007
The pharmaceutical industry is committed to marketing safer drugs with fewer side effects, predictable pharmacokinetic properties and quantifiable drug-drug interactions. Drug metabolism is a major determinant of drug clearance and interindividual pharmacokinetic differences, and an indirect determinant of the clinical efficacy and toxicity of drugs. Progressive advances in the knowledge of metabolic routes and enzymes responsible for drug biotransformation have contributed to understanding the great metabolic variations existing in human beings. Phenotypic as well genotypic differences in the expression of the enzymes involved in drug metabolism are the main causes of this variability. How…
Drug biotransformation by human hepatocytes. In vitro/in vivo metabolism by cells from the same donor.
2001
Abstract Background/Aims : Cultured human hepatocytes are considered a close model to human liver. However, the fact that hepatocytes are placed in a microenvironment that differs from that of the cell in the liver raises the question: to what extent does drug metabolism in vitro reflect that of the liver in vivo? This issue was examined by investigating the in vitro and in vivo metabolism of aceclofenac, an analgesic/anti-inflammatory drug. Methods : Hepatocytes isolated from programmed liver biopsies were incubated with aceclofenac, and the metabolites formed were investigated by HPLC. During the course of clinical recovery, patients were given the drug, and the metabolites, largely prese…
In VitroRelease of Local Anaesthetic and Anti-Inflammatory Drugs from Crosslinked Collagen Based Device
2012
The drug delivery systems that are the object of this article take the form of a hydrophilic matrix (collagen or crosslinked collagen) containing a drug. These devices can be used as The model active agents, were chosen from the range of local anaesthetics (lidocaine hydrochloride), anti-inflammatory (diclofenac sodium salt) and antioxydant (caffeic acid). Whatever the drug affinity for water, in the first time of the experiments, the release appears to be systematically delayed when the matrix is crosslinked. For lidocaine hydrochloride based systems, as the amount of drug increases in the matrix, the high gap concentration between the matrix and the buffer solution promote the diffusion a…
Paper 6: EUROCAT member registries: organization and activities.
2011
BACKGROUND: EUROCAT is a network of population-based congenital anomaly registries providing standardized epidemiologic information on congenital anomalies in Europe. There are three types of EUROCAT membership: full, associate, or affiliate. Full member registries send individual records of all congenital anomalies covered by their region. Associate members transmit aggregate case counts for each EUROCAT anomaly subgroup by year and by type of birth. This article describes the organization and activities of each of the current 29 full member and 6 associate member registries of EUROCAT. METHODS: Each registry description provides information on the history and funding of the registry, popu…
