The brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys (Stål) (BMSB) is an exotic invasive insect originating in East Asia, currently causing significant damage to fruits, vegetables and other crops throughout most of the Mid-Atlantic states of the U.S. It also is a nuisance pest, entering homes in the fall in search of suitable overwintering sites. Two formulations of BotaniGard(®) with a strain of...

The laboratory experiments were carriedout at the Institute of Organic Farming (IOF), UAS, Dharwad, during 2014-2015 to study bioefficacy different formulations Metarhizium anisopliae against coconut rhinoceros grubs, Oryctus (Linnaeus). Among oil based formulation, rice bran (60%) + corn (40%) formulation found least LC50 value (1.99 x 106 cfu/ml) 432 h. In granular and wettable powder recorde...

This systematic review evaluated evidence for two dry powder formulations, colistimethate sodium and tobramycin, for the treatment of chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa in cystic fibrosis, as part of the UK national recommendation process for new technologies. Electronic bibliographic databases were searched in May 2012 (MEDLINE, MEDLINE in-Process, EMBASE, Cochrane Library databases, CINAHL, Web o...

Dry powder inhaler (DPI) is generally formulated as a powder mixture of coarse carrier particles and micronized drug with aerodynamic diameters of 1-5 μm. Carrier particles are used to improve drug particle flowability, thus improving dosing accuracy, minimizing the dose variability compared with drug alone and making them easier to handle during manufacturing operations. Lactose is the most co...

Chicken meat in two different forms (chicken meat and chicken meat powder) were added into white flour and whole wheat blend baguette bread formulations for protein enrichment and finally developing new and healthy snacks. The chicken meat and powder levels were 10% for white flour baguette, and 15% for whole wheat blend. The dried baguette samples were packaged under 100% N2, and physical, che...

The purpose of these studies was to investigate the ability of surface energy measurements and rates of mixing in dry powder inhaler (DPI) formulations to predict aerosol dispersion performance. Two lactose carrier systems comprising either spray-dried or milled particles were developed such that they had identical physical characteristics except for surface morphology and surface energies avoi...

D is a purine nucleoside analog that is indicated for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. It has been administered orallywith antacids toprotect against acid-inducedhydrolysis in the stomach. Formulations of didanosine that are currently available as buffered products or are intended to be used with buffer include the buffered powder for oral solution, chewable/disper...

Pulmonary drug delivery can have several advantages over other administration routes, in particular when using dry powder formulations. Such inhalation formulations generally include natural and bio-inspired excipients, which, among purposes, are used to improve dosing reproducibility aerosolization performance. Amino acids enhance dispersibility provide protection against moisture uptake. Suga...

INTRODUCTION The main objective of this study was preparation and characterization of solid dispersion of piroxicam to enhance its dissolution rate. METHODS Solid dispersion formulations with different carriers including crospovidone, microcrystalline cellulose, Elaeagnus angustifolia fruit powder, with different drug to carrier ratios were prepared employing cogrinding method. Dissolution st...
