The dissolution kinetics of pandermite and hydroboracite, present in an Iranian borate ore, in sulfuric acid has been comparatively studied. The effect of particle size, temperature, and acid concentration on their dissolution rate was investigated. Dissolution rates of both minerals increased by reducing the particle size and by raising the temperature. Although, an increase in the acid concen...

The study objectives were to assess the ability of intratracheal injection methods to discriminate between nine ®bre types in respect of pulmonary biopersistence, and to provide approximate estimates of relative biopersistence and durability for a study of general relationships with biological and toxicological responses. The test ®bres included six samples of size-selected ®bre types specially...

the present study deals with characterization of dispersions of a poorly water-soluble drug, celecoxib (clx) in polyvinyl caprolactame–polyvinyl acetate–polyethylene glycol graft copolymer (soluplus® (sol)) prepared by different techniques. dispersions of clx in sol at different ratios (2:1, 1:1, 1:2, 1:4 and 1:6) were prepared by spray drying, conventional solvent evaporation and melting metho...

Dissolution tests that can predict the in vivo performance of drug products are usually called biorelevant dissolution tests. Biorelevant dissolution testing can be used to guide formulation development, to identify food effects on the dissolution and bioavailability of orally administered drugs, and to identify solubility limitations and stability issues. To develop a biorelevant dissolution t...

In vivo dissolution of crystalline insulin formulations is an important step for insulin absorption in the subcutaneous therapy of diabetes, which is the most widespread. Here, data on the in vitro dissolution of three different crystalline forms of commercial porcine insulin are reported. The aim of this study was to create a model framework of in vivo dissolution of insulin crystalline formul...

Meloxicam is a poorly water soluble non steroidal anti-inflammatory drug and antipyretic agent. The aim of the present work was to investigate the effect of different types of carriers on in vitro dissolution of meloxicam. Meloxicam solid dispersions were prepared by physical mixing, co-grinding and solvent evaporation methods with polyethylene glycol (PEG) 6000. The effect of solubilization by...

     Ibuprofen solid dispersions were prepared by the solvent and fusion-solvent methods using polyethylene glycol (PEG), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), eudragit RS PO, eudragit RL PO and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) as carriers to improve physicochemical characteristics of ibuprofen. The prepared solid dispersions were evaluated for the flowability, solubility characteristics and dissoluti...

The performance of compressed tablet drug delivery systems made using polymeric materials depend on multiple factors, such as surface properties like contact angle, surface free energy and water absorption rate, besides the release mechanisms driven by the kind of polymer used. Hence, it should be possible to establish a relationship between the surface properties and the drug release kinetics....

The reversal of the gender gap in education has potentially far-reaching consequences for marriage markets, family formation, and relationship outcomes. One possible consequence of this is the growing number of marriages in which wives have more education than their husbands. Previous studies have found this type of union to be at higher risk of dissolution. Using data on marriages formed betwe...
