Toward Biopredictive Dissolution for Enteric Coated Dosage Forms
2016
The aim of this work was to develop a phosphate buffer based dissolution method for enteric-coated formulations with improved biopredictivity for fasted conditions. Two commercially available enteric-coated aspirin products were used as model formulations (Aspirin Protect 300 mg, and Walgreens Aspirin 325 mg). The disintegration performance of these products in a physiological 8 mM pH 6.5 bicarbonate buffer (representing the conditions in the proximal small intestine) was used as a standard to optimize the employed phosphate buffer molarity. To account for the fact that a pH and buffer molarity gradient exists along the small intestine, the introduction of such a gradient was proposed for p…
Generalized transport coefficients in a gas with large shear rate
1987
We get a solution of the Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (BGK) model kinetic equation by means of a perturbative expansion of a temperature gradient to study the transport properties in a gas with large shear rate. The irreversible fluxes are evaluated exactly to first order in the expansion for Maxwell molecules. The transport coefficients obtained are highly nonlinear functions of the shear rate. This dependence on shear rate is analysed and compared with previous results for several transport coefficients. Finally, we have found a solution for a simple model of constant collision frequency for which a large shear rate coexists with an arbitrary temperature gradient.
Inhibitoren der Korrosion (8) Über die Abhängigkeit der Korrosionsinhibierung des Eisens in Salzsäure von der Struktur quartärer Phosphoniumsalze
1971
Bei quartaren Phosphoniumsalzen be-steht zwischen der Inhibitorwirkung im sauren Medium unter Auschlus von Luft und den polarographisch ermittelten Re-duktionspotentialen keine direkte Bezie-hung. Die sterischen Faktoren der nach Aufnahme von zwei Elektronen entste-henden und an der Eisenoberflache fixierten Fragmente sind offenbar fur die Inhibitorwirkung hauptsachlich ver-antwortlich. Bisphoniumsalze mit gesattigten oder ungesattigten Brucken sind unter den oben genannten Bedingungen hervor-ragende Inhibitoren. Am wirksamsten sind Bisphosphoniumsalze mit Ketten von 4 bis 10 Methylengruppen zwischen den Phosphoniumzentren. Der starre p-Phenylenrest ist als Verknupfungs-prinzip weniger geei…

First aid in dental trauma in pediatric age
2014
The knowledge of the right management of dental traumas is very important for the pediatrician due both to their high incidence in this age group and to prevent further pathologic events related. Several studies indicate that in industrialized countries, about one in five children have had a traumatic dental injury to permanent teeth before leaving school. Prevalence of injured teeth presented in the literature varies from 10 to 51% [1]. The pediatrician, more than any other health professionals, should have the necessary knowledge to ensure correct and professional advices for all issues concerning the child's health [2]. Most of the available literature emphasizes that awareness of the co…
Nonenzymatic glycation reaction of folate with reducing sugars: A case study on [6S]-5-methyltetrahydrofolate and fructose
2006
In the Maillard reaction, free amino groups react with reducing sugars to form nonenzymatic glycation products. It has recently been shown that in the presence of reducing sugars (i.e. fructose) folic acid is subjected to a non-enzymatic glycation reaction, which may represent an important pathway of folate degradation besides the established oxidative degradation pathways. In the current study, the thermal stability of [6S]-5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid ([6S]-5-CH3H4PteGlu, 0.4µM), the predominant naturally occuring folate derivate, was investigated on a qualitative and kinetic basis in the presence of different fructose concentrations (0-3M) in milliQ water (8.11ppm O2). Samples were isoth…
Description of the Retention and Peak Profile for Chromolith Columns in Isocratic and Gradient Elution Using Mobile Phase Composition and Flow Rate a…
2014
The effect of the modifier concentration and flow rate on the chromatographic performance of a second generation Chromolith® RP-18e column, under isocratic and gradient elution with acetonitrile-water mixtures, was examined using four sulphonamides as probe compounds. The acetonitrile concentration was varied between 5 and 55% (v/v), and the flow rate between 0.1 and 5.0 mL/min, keeping the other factors constant. The changes in both retention and peak profile were modelled, and used to build simple plots, where the logarithm of the retention factor was represented against the modifier concentration (in gradient elution, against the initial modifier concentration), and the half-widths or wi…
Age at First Episode Modulates Diagnosis-Related Structural Brain Abnormalities in Psychosis.
2016
Brain volume and thickness abnormalities have been reported in first-episode psychosis (FEP). However, it is unclear if and how they are modulated by brain developmental stage (and, therefore, by age at FEP as a proxy). This is a multicenter cross-sectional case-control brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) study. Patients with FEP (n = 196), 65.3% males, with a wide age at FEP span (12-35 y), and healthy controls (HC) (n = 157), matched for age, sex, and handedness, were scanned at 6 sites. Gray matter volume and thickness measurements were generated for several brain regions using FreeSurfer software. The nonlinear relationship between age at scan (a proxy for age at FEP in patients) and…
