Gallium-67 citrate has long been used for imaging of infection and inflammation. Although gallium-67 uptake due to silicone implants and silicone injections has been previously reported in the literature, very few cases are documented. We report a case of increased gallium-67 uptake in the buttocks in a patient who previously received silicone injections in the buttocks, to reemphasize silicone...

Patients who are human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody positive are at increased risk of life threatening infection. Scintigraphic imaging with Ga-67 citrate has been used to identify the presence and site of focal infection. However, focal accumulation of Ga-67 is not specific for infection. A retrospective study was performed to compare the accuracy of Ga-67 citrate and pooled human pol...

At present, meprobamate is not a drug with a broad commercial spectrum. In order to get an optimal pharmaceutical formulation for this kind of drug or others more competitive, experimental design methodology is a statistical tool very useful for reach them. The principal aim of this work was to apply D-Optimal mixture design for optimization of meprobamate (400 mg) fast released tablets manufac...
