Placental control of drug delivery

Microelectronic control of drug delivery.

Microelectronic control of drug delivery devices enables precise management of drug delivery profiles. Iontophoresis patches offer microelectronic control over delivery in a noninvasive manner, but these are limited to the administration of relatively small molecules at small doses. Infusion pumps are widely used for delivery of insulin and other drugs; however, they require an invasive cathete...

Modelling and control of drug delivery systems

This work presents a compartmental model for delivery of drugs under anesthesia and an advanced model based control algorithm for insulin delivery for Type 1 diabetes. The model for anesthesia involves choice of three drugs isoflurane, dopamine and sodium nitroprusside, which allows simultaneous regulation of mean arterial pressure and unconsciousness of the patients. A number of dynamic simula...

Hydrophilic Matrices for Oral Control Drug Delivery

Oral controlled drug delivery has gathered tremendous attention over the years due to its many advantages over conventional dosage forms. Polymer-based matrices have become an integral part of the pharmaceutical industry. Hydrophilic matrices are capable of controlling the release of drug over an extended period of time. Hydrophilic polymers, especially the hydrophilic derivatives of cellulose ...
