Introduction :-
Solubility :-
“Solubility is the property of a solid, liquid, or gaseous chemical substance called solute to dissolve in a solid, liquid, or gaseous solvent to form a homogeneous solution of the solute in the solvent.”
Solubalization :-
“ A Preparation of thermodynamically stable isotropic solution of a substance normally insoluble or slightly soluble in a given solvent by introduction of an additional component
Importance of Solubility :-
Therapeutic efeectivness of a drug depends upon the bioavailability & ultimately upon the solubility of drug molecules
Solubility is one of the important parameter to achieve desired concentration of a drug in systemic circulation for pharmacological ressponse to be shown.
Currently only 8% of new drugs have both high solubility & Permeability.
Nearly 40% of the new chemical entities currently being discovered are poorely water soluble

"Gain a Better Understanding of Effective Methods for Identifying Foreign Particulate."
Foreign particulate analysis is a critical aspect of pharmaceutical manufacturing and nonconformance investigations. The approaches and methodologies for analyzing foreign particulate vary depending on whether it is a single particle or a population of particles, as well as the physical properties of the particles themselves.
Case Studies in Foreign Particulate Analysis will present an overview of manual and automated methodologies for characterizing foreign particulate matter in pharmaceutical investigations and cleanliness studies. Several examples will be presented showing the various approaches to particulate identification.
During this webinar we will discuss both manual types of analysis (including SEM-EDS, microscopy, FTIR, and Raman), and automated types of analysis (including automated SEM (CCSEM) and automated Raman (SPE/LIBS). In addition, several case studies will be presented as examples of the utility of both types of analyses.
adsorption of methylene blue onto xanthogenated modified chitosan microbeadsSiti Nadzifah Ghazali
Methylene Blue (MB) is thiazine dyes that widely use to color product in many industry such as textile, printing, leather, cosmetic and paper. Xanthogenated-Modified Chitosan Microbeads (XMCM) is use to observe the new alternative adsorbent in removing MB from water body through adsorption process. The interactions between MB and functional group in XMCM were confirmed by Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectra. Several parameters that influence adsorption ability such as the effect of adsorbent dosage of XMCM and the effect of initial pH of MB aqueous solution were studied. This study were done at optimum condition which is at pH 4 of initial pH of MB solution, 0.01 g of initial XMCM dosage, 6 hours stirring time and temperature of (30 ± 2 ℃). The adsorption data fit well Langmuir model more than Freundlich model. Based on Langmuir model, the maximum monolayer adsorption capacity of MB was 21.62 mg g-1 which indicated that XMCM can be a new alternative adsorbent for removing MB.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

3. Methylene Blue (MB) staining can been used to
qualitatively evaluate surface defects in glass vials
• There is no standard procedure for performing MB staining of glass vials
• Typical methods use concentrated MB solution (1% (w/v) is common) with
staining times ranging from 15 minutes to 24 hours
• Can identify regions of selective staining within a single vial (e.g., heel versus
body) and perhaps make observations about relative staining behavior among
different vials
• Qualitative information may be helpful, but does not necessarily produce
data that can be readily documented and acted upon
4. Quantitative results may also be achieved with MB
staining under appropriate conditions

• UV-Vis spectroscopy was used to measure the optical absorption spectra for a series of MB solutions prepared
by serial dilution of a 1% (w/v) stock solution
• 1:200,000 MB solution was found to be suitable for staining; avoids noisy spectrum (see spectrum #1 above)
and provides adequate detection capabilities when used to stain vials in the 8 to 10 mL size range
5. Quantitative results may also be achieved with MB
staining under appropriate conditions
• An experiment was designed to evaluate if MB staining could discriminate
between acceptable and defective glass vials
• Type 1 glass vials provided by supplier on condition of anonymity
• Two lots of vials – one passed a standard hydrolytic resistance test (“Pass”
vials);
the other lot failed the same test (“Fail” vials)
• Chemical stability behavior of same vials previously reported in: Kucko et
al. (2013). Fill volume as an indicator of surface heterogeneity in glass
vials for parenteral packaging. Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 102:

• Pass and Fail vials were filled to 90% maximum capacity with MB solution
prepared by 1:200,000 volumetric dilution of a 1% (w/v) stock solution
• Vials exposed in triplicate to dilute MB solution for time periods ranging up to
24 hours
• Optical absorption of dilute MB solution measured after each incubation

• Both vial types exhibited detectable
staining by dilute MB solution
• Staining was visible to the unaided eye in
the heel region of the vials
• Staining behavior is time dependent
and unique to vial type
• Staining is similar within 1st hour
• Optical absorption behavior reaches
a local minimum at short times, followed
by an increase and then gradual decline
• Behavior suggests that interior surface of
vial is being altered while exposed to MB
solution, thereby influencing extent of
MB absorption/adsorption
• Fail vials always stained more than Pass
vials after 1 hour of exposure
• Quantitative MB staining can be used as
a simple method for identifying drifts
in manufacturing process
7. Quantitative results may also be achieved with MB
staining under appropriate conditions
Electron microscopy was used to probe origins of different MB staining behavior
in the heel region of Pass and Fail vials

• Pass vials show circular pitting in heel region after 24 hr exposure to dilute MB solution
• Circular pitting is characteristic feature of many vials produced from converted tubing

Foamed glass shell of blister
Void within blister
Bulk glass below blister
• FIB used to generate cross-section that was subsequently imaged by STEM
• Cross-section shows blister consisting of void surrounded by thin shell of foamed glass, perhaps due to
overheating during conversion process; shell was rich in alkali, which explains poor corrosion resistance
• Outer perimeter of blister faintly visible by FESEM (see middle image of last slide); cracking occurred within shell
• Combination of void and/or high surface blisters presumably contributed to increased MB staining
10. Summary
• Quantitative MB staining may be achieved using appropriately diluted MB
solutions
• In this case, acceptable and defective glass vials were clearly detectable
by differences in quantitative staining behavior
• The degree to which these vials were acceptable or defective is not known.
Further method development is needed to determine if vials that are barely
acceptable or defective by standard measures can be resolved
• If found to be sufficiently sensitive, quantitative MB staining could provide a
simple and inexpensive alternative method for detecting defective vials and
monitoring the vial manufacturing process
