The oral fast-dissolving film is an advanced, patient compliant and novel delivery system. The acceptance of this ingenious dosage form is increasing day by day due to its several comparative advantages of being cost-benefit, rapid dissolving without water aid, as well as greatly compliant to both geriatric and pediatric patients in emergency conditions and specific diseases. Moreover, it is a worthwhile dosage form for the drug experiencing pre-systemic metabolism and lesser bioavailability. This review article covers history, advantages, disadvantages, limitations, ideal properties, classification, formulation consideration, method of manufacturing, quality parameters both in-vitro and in-vivo, advancement in technology, commercial trends and literature review of the previous work for oral fast dissolving films. It can be concluded that it one of the fastest-growing dosage forms holding a lot of potentials especially for commercial use due to its unique characteristics, novel attributes, competitive standing, and cost-adequacy
Comparative analysis of biopharmaceutic classification system (BCS) based bio...Madiha Mushtaque
Biopharmaceutic classification system (BCS) is a substantial part of drug designing and generic product development and has been accepted as a technique to renounce in-vivo pharmacokinetic evaluation (biowaiver). It appeared to be worthwhile and time-saving by means of in-vitro studies in the presence of biorelevant physiological mediums that mimic not only the predictable solubility but also permeability of the multisource product. Such methodology is now applied as a regulatory stamp to support new and generic product approvals based on other than in-vivo equivalence testing. This article outlines the foundation of BCS, its implementation in granting biowaiver, adequacy of in-vitro bioequivalence studies, principles and requirements of BCS biowaiver by four regulatory agencies such as; Food and Drug Authority (FDA), World Health Organization (WHO), European medicine agency (EMA) and International Conference on Harmonization (ICH), potential effect of excipients on solubility and permeability of drug molecules and supplementary data provided by FDA regarding biowaiver approvals. Furthermore, supportive data provided by the International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) has also been given for biowaiver sanction of certain drug products. It has been concluded, that although biowaiver is a profitable methodology for generic and new drug product approval, the variance in the standards of governing bodies demands more critical assessment to establish some unified principles to be followed globally.

Beyond the pharmacological activity, the differences have been observed in the preferences of solid dosage form on the basis of color and swallowing difficulty in the studies conducted by a different researcher. The aim of the study is to insight the perception of the general population of Karachi about the color, scoring and splitting of tablets. A convenience sampling technique was used to collect data. Knowledge, attitude and practices of the participants regarding oral solid dosage form have been evaluated through a structured close-ended questionnaire. The color perception was pursued by asking questions to the participants about the association of color with effectiveness, identification, safety and onset of action. The scoring perception was also inquired focusing on the association of scoring on the convenience of splitting, their effect on the dose, type of tablet subjected to splitting and further consequences of splitting. Among 426 respondents, 248 participants were not aware of the type of medicine subjected to be splitting. Approximately half of the respondents (N=221) agreed with the point of view that ease of swallowing is one of the reasons for pill-splitting. The study provided preliminary data about color perception, scoring and splitting of tablet dosage form that can be beneficial for future research.

The current study focused on the development, optimization and pharmaceutical evaluation of a mouth dissolving film of Escitalopram 5mg. The designing and optimization of the formulations have been carried out through
Design-Expert ® Ver. 9, using central composite response surface methodology. The software generated six optimized
formulations have been fabricated via solvent casting method incorporated with HPMC and PEG 400 as Plasticizer. The
developed formulations were assessed for various quality attributes including weight variation, drug-excipients
interaction, dryness/ tack test, thickness, percent elongation, swelling index, disintegration, folding endurance, surface
pH, content uniformity, assay, moisture uptake, stability, and organoleptic properties. A validated spectrophotometric
method has been used to ascertain drug content. The formulations were subjected for stability studies for six months in
accordance with ICH accelerated stability studies guidelines. No stability issue has been observed. All the test
formulations have shown satisfactory in vitro release of escitalopram whereas most promising results have been
exhibited by F5 and F6 formulations. The study concluded that a unique, novel, safe and stable formulation of oral fast
dissolving thin films of escitalopram can be formulated with ease. The preparation method was simple and reproducible
with scale-up tendency so that it can fulfill the need of the commercial manufacturing process.
Antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASP) are an essential practice to prevent increasing
resistance against antibiotics. A successful ASP monitors not only prescribing patterns and
practices but also contributes in minimizing the toxic effects of antibiotics. Moreover, ASP
also facilitates the selection of disease specific antibiotics and enforces rules and regulations to rationalize the use of antibiotics. The aim of the study is to highlight the core
elements of Hospital Antibiotic Stewardship Programs in Karachi. The key elements proposed by center of disease control (CDC) such as; leadership, accountability, drug
expertise, actions to support optimal antibiotic use, tracking (monitoring antibiotic prescribing, use and resistance), reporting information to staff on improving antibiotic use
and resistance and education were evaluated on Yes/No scale. The data was collected
from 44 hospitals of different categories in Karachi and all the major elements were
studied. It was observed that all the hospitals in one setting failed to comply with all the
guidelines. It has been concluded that efforts should be made to design ASP at each
hospital and implemented through suitable policies and procedures.
High prevalence of DR-TB (drug-resistant tuberculosis): An Indicator of publi...Madiha Mushtaque
Tuberculosis (TB) is among the 10 most common worldwide causes of mortality. In Pakistan, estimated 510,000 tuberculosis patients had been diagnosed with an occurrence of 276/100,000. As per most recent global TB report 2018, Pakistan is amongst the 30 countries high TB with drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis particularly MDR (multi-drug resistant strains). A retrospective study had been designed using DR-TB patients’ records from January 2013 to the December 2017 year from a public sector hospital in Karachi. Overall 315 drug-resistant tuberculosis patient’s data had been incorporated in the study. All data had been analyzed using SPSS version 16 software. Chi-square test had been used to analyze the data with CI (confidence interval) 95% and level of significance 5%. The study result showed that 64.1% MDR patients, 27.9% MTB rifampicin resistance, 4.8% mono-drug resistant , XDR(1.6%), 1% poly-drug resistant and only 0.6% are MDR suspects showing no association of DR-TB with gender (p-value 0.787), age group (p-value 0.757), treatment outcomes (p-value 0.549), year of registration( p-value 0.206), first line treatment history(p-value 0.643) with a 95% confidence interval. The drug resistance TB cases have been periodically rising every year. Early identification is required to reduce the percent mortality and inhibit the disease transmission.
Development and Pharmaceutical Evaluation of Clotrimazole Loaded Topical Hydr...Madiha Mushtaque
SUMMARY. The present study addresses the solubility issue of a hydrophobic antifungal drug and its incorporation
into a hydrogel matrix. The prime objective of the study was to develop a preformed hydrogel
of 1% w/w clotrimazole with the introduction of water miscible co-solvents such as glycerin and polyethylene
glycol. Carbomer was used as gelling agent in different concentrations. The stability of the formulations,
their spreadability, pH, drug content, viscosity and in vitro drug release has been assessed while the
optimization has been carried out through Design Expert® ver. 7.0. A spectrophotometric method has
been developed for the analysis of clotrimazole from the developed formulations and it was found to be
within the USP limits. The best drug release was found from F2 formulation that contains 0.5 g carbomer
hence it was considered as optimized formulation. It is conclu
Assessment of errors and incompleteness of prescriptions in outpatient clinic...Madiha Mushtaque
Prescribing errors are considered as one of the important source of medication errors which can lead to adverse drug reactions. It can be preventable by limiting the errors in the medications prescribed. In the present study, physician prescriptions of outpatient clinics were evaluated for the completeness of information needed in prescriptions. Around two thousand seven hundred prescriptions were evaluated. An average of five drugs per prescription was prescribed. Medical record number, patient’s height and allergy status of patient was not declared in any of theprescription. Patient’s name (96%), physician contact number (63%), dosage form (83%), strength of drug (71%) and duration of therapy (78%) were mentioned in comparatively good number. A very low number of drugs (10%) were prescribed by generic name. Major drug-drug interactions were found in 18% prescriptions. Omission of essential information from the prescriptions will definitely be the source of medication errors that can be prevented by utilizing services of pharmacists in community pharmacies.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
