An Intrathecally Located Broken Catheter Used for an Intrathecal Drug Delivery System
The intrathecal drug delivery system (ITDDS), an effective treatment tool for intractable spasticity and pain, is associated with various complications but breakage of the catheter is rare. We report the case of a 50-yr-old man with ITDDS, in whom an intrathecal catheter was severed, resulting in a 28.6-cm-long intrathecal fragment. The catheter completely retracted into the intrathecal space f...
متن کاملIon-exchange, an Approach to Prepare an Oral Floating Drug Delivery System for Diclofenac
Using ion-exchange resins, a multiple-unit type of oral floating dosage system has been prepared to prolong gastric emptying time of dosage form. The system is composed of beads of drug-resin complex, which are loaded with bicarbonate ions and coated with a hydrophobic polymer. The system is so designed that when the beads reach the stomach, chloride ions are exchanged with bicarbonate and drug...

متن کاملVincristine loaded niosomes as an effective drug delivery system for lymphoma
Aim and Background: Vincristine is a herbal anticancer drug which is used to treat a wide range of cancers such as lymphoma. Niosomes are important drug carriers. The aim of this study was to prepare PEGylated niosomal form of vincristine in order to increase its efficacy in lymph nodes’ cancer. Material and Methods: PEGylated niosomal vincristine (PEG-nVCR) was prepared by thin film hydrat...
متن کاملThe breaking of an intrathecally-placed epidural catheter during extraction.
IMPLICATIONS Misplacement of an epidural catheter into the subarachnoid space is a recognized complication. However, breakage of an intrathecal epidural catheter during removal presents a dilemma. Appropriate imaging, a neurosurgical consultation, and aggressive surgical exploration and extraction of the retained piece are warranted, even in the asymptomatic patient.
