The goal of this study was to prepare and characterize alginate microspheres as an antigen delivery system and adjuvant for immunization against leishmaniasis. Microspheres encapsulated with autoclaved Leishmania major (ALM) and Quillaja saponin (QS) were prepared by an emulsification technique and characterized for size, encapsulation efficiency and release profile of encapsulate...

This paper reviews the use of texture analysis in studying the performance of hydrophilic matrices of highly soluble drugs and different types of excipients (i.e. water-soluble, water-insoluble and swellable, and water insoluble and non-swellable). Tablets were prepared by direct compression, and their swelling and erosion in presence of these different excipients were assessed with the help of...

Aim: To enhance the aqueous solubility of olanzapine by using the Solid dispersion technique. Solid dispersions of Olanzapine were prepared by the dispersion method using using PGS and SSG as carriers. Drug:carrier ratios such as 1:1, 1:2, 1:4, 1:6, 1:8 and 1:10 were tried for optimization. Characterization was done by phase solubility, in vitro release, saturation solubility, permeation, wetta...

Our aim in this paper is to obtain the best synthesis of a desired mutual intensity dis~but~on, by filtering in fractional Fourier domains. More specifically, we find the optimal fractional-domain filter that transforms a given (source) mutual intensity distribution into the desired one as closely as possible (in the minimum mean-square error sense). It is observed that, in some cases, closer a...

This paper deals with the study of fractional bioheat equation for heat transfer in skin tissue with sinusoidal heat flux condition on skin surface. Numerical solution is obtained by implicit finite difference method. The effect of anomalous diffusion in skin tissue has been studied with different frequency and blood perfusion respectively, the temperature profile are obtained for different ord...

Implantation of neuroprosthetic electrodes induces a stereotypical state of neuroinflammation, which is thought to be detrimental for the neurons surrounding the electrode. Mechanisms of this type of neuroinflammation are still not understood well. Recent experimental and theoretical results point out possible role of the diffusion species in this process. The paper considers a model of anomalo...

the objective of this work was to develop and evaluate the levofloxacin hemihydrate floating formulations (f1-f9). selection of optimized batch was done by model dependent approach and novel mathematical approach. f1-f9 batches were prepared by direct compression method using gelucire 43/01 (hydrophobic) and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (hydrophilic) polymer in different ratios. the floating ta...

vitamin e (α-tocopherol) is a natural antioxidant very useful for preventing the harmful effects of uv sun rays as skin aging and cancers. in this study, different mlv formulations were made using egg lecithin and varying molar ratios of α-tocopherol and/or cholesterol, and their encapsulation efficiencies were determined. the best liposomal product was incorporated into a carbomer 980 gel. the...
