Drug delivery goes remote

Osmotically driven drug delivery through remote-controlled magnetic nanocomposite membranes.

Implantable drug delivery systems can provide long-term reliability, controllability, and biocompatibility, and have been used in many applications, including cancer pain and non-malignant pain treatment. However, many of the available systems are limited to zero-order, inconsistent, or single burst event drug release. To address these limitations, we demonstrate prototypes of a remotely operat...

Novel transdermal drug delivery systems

Background and aim: Eczema is a common inflammatory skin disease. Although history and physical examination are important in diagnosis of allergen, because of extent of environmental allergens, those are not simply recognized. The objective of this study was to determine allergens in patients with contact or atopic dermatitis referred to Razi hospital.Materials and Meth...

Drug delivery.

What we know: In preschool children, small-volume spacers perform better than large-volume spacers. Detergent is the best antistatic agent for spacers, increasing lung delivery two- to threefold, but it must not be rinsed off. A mouthpiece should be used in children aged 2-3 years or older, as lung delivery is two- to threefold higher for oral inhalation than nasal inhalation (ie, by mask). Inh...
