The Importance of Amorphous Stability: Mesoporous Silica for Poor Glass FormersMerck Life Sciences
Access the interactive recording: https://bit.ly/2SApPJr
Abstract: Historically, polymeric solid dispersions have been the technology of choice for amorphous formulation. However, this approach may have some downfalls when considering the ability to stabilize compounds in the amorphous form, especially poor glass former compounds with high propensity to re-crystallize. This webinar will examine amorphous stability from a theoretical perspective in the context of polymeric solid dispersions and mesoporous silica formulations. Finally, we will present recent data demonstrating the potential of mesoporous silica for superior amorphous stabilization of poor glass formers.
In this webinar, you will learn:
- The key issues in continuous manufacturing concerning excipients
- How those issues can be addressed
Detailed description:
Continuous manufacturing is a major trend in solid dose formulation. It shows economic and quality benefits, however, hurdles and challenges need to be tackled before getting there. This webinar will address these hurdles and challenges as they relate to excipients.
We will present how continuous manufacturing lines are set up and the benefits users have experienced from them. Feeding of especially small components of formulation combined with bad flow is a major challenge, as well as having a high number of components leading to many feeders. Our answer to these challenges are threefold: betting on multifunctional excipients, and on premixes, either as finished products or as customized projects.

A 62-year-old man with schizophrenia, diabetes, and venous leg ulcers was treated over 11 months. He had two large sloughy ulcers on his right leg. Treatment involved debriding the ulcers and skin with a monofilament product, dressing the wounds with superabsorbent and collagen dressings, and using compression therapy. The debridement improved the patient's participation and trust in treatment. Over time the ulcers granulated and reduced in size, though a new ulcer later developed. The patient-centered care including debridement and wound preparation led to largely successful treatment of the ulcers.

This case study describes an 80-year-old woman with atypical venous ulcers that were resistant to various treatments including electrostimulation, negative pressure therapy, and skin grafting. Application of a TLC-NOSF dressing along with venous compression stimulated healing, with the ulcers fully healed within 6 weeks. The dressing promoted granulation tissue growth and re-epithelialization over successive applications where other treatments had failed. This case suggests that TLC-NOSF dressings may effectively treat difficult-to-heal venous ulcers when combined with compression therapy.

In the first case, a 76-year-old woman's leg wound healed completely within 9 weeks with the dressing. In the second case, a 23-year-old woman's wound under a skin graft epithelialized fully within 8 weeks with the dressing. The conclusion is that the TLC-NOSF dressing provides an effective first-line treatment alternative for chronic traumatic wounds.

ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.drhasanrajab
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

2. Two antimicrobial concepts
for treatment of bacterial burden
in chronic wounds:
1st Release of antimicrobial substances into the wound and
killing the bacteria in the wound and in the wound dressing
2nd Removing the bacteria from the wound by physical methods

INTRODUCTION
3. Wound dressings coated with DACC1 claim a hydrophobic
characteristic for irreversible binding of bacteria to the dressing.
The aim of this in-vitro-study was to compare the hydrophobic
characteristics of these with other wound dressings.

4. METHODS II/III
A drop of artificial wound liquid1 was placed on the surface of
the wound dressing and a picture with a Canon EOS 400D
(18-55 mm) was taken immediately and the contact angle
was measured from a print of the picture.
The measurement were repeated 5-10 times and the
arithmetic average and standard deviation was calculated.

1st 32 wound dressings were tested. 29 wound dressings (91%) showed contact
angles >80 degrees and 22 showed contact angles >90 degrees (69%).
2nd Cutimed Sorbact showed the greatest contact angle (120 degrees) and
Atrauman the smallest contact angle (71%).
3rd DACC coated wound dressings, foam wound dressings with or without
active substances, wound dressings fully or partly coated with silicone
showed contact angles >90 degrees and could therefore
classified as hydrophobic.
4th The hydrophobic effect is not a specific feature of DACC-coated
products. All tested foam dressings, coated with silicone or uncoated,
showed a hydrophobic effect.
SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION
