Ocular reaction to timolol maleate.
A patient prescribed timolol maleate for the control of hypertension developed dryness of the eyes. The symptoms improved on withdrawal of the drug. Vigilance for such adverse reactions must be observed in the use of any beta-adrenoreceptor blocking agent.
متن کامل2D and 3D Self-Assembling Nanofiber Hydrogels for Cardiomyocyte Culture
Collagen is a widely used biomaterial in cardiac tissue engineering studies. However, as a natural material, it suffers from variability between batches that can complicate the standardization of culture conditions. In contrast, synthetic materials are modifiable, have well-defined structures and more homogeneous batches can be produced. In this study, several collagen-like synthetic self-assem...
متن کاملFunctional self-assembling peptide nanofiber hydrogel for peripheral nerve regeneration
Peripheral nerves are fragile and easily damaged, usually resulting in nervous tissue loss, motor and sensory function loss. Advances in neuroscience and engineering have been significantly contributing to bridge the damage nerve and create permissive environment for axonal regrowth across lesions. We have successfully designed two self-assembling peptides by modifying RADA 16-I with two functi...
متن کاملNovel tumor-targeting, self-assembling peptide nanofiber as a carrier for effective curcumin delivery
The poor aqueous solubility and low bioavailability of curcumin restrict its clinical application for cancer treatment. In this study, a novel tumor-targeting nanofiber carrier was developed to improve the solubility and tumor-targeting ability of curcumin using a self-assembled Nap-GFFYG-RGD peptide. The morphologies of the peptide nanofiber and the curcumin-encapsulated nanofiber were visuali...
متن کاملTransdermal iontophoretic delivery of timolol maleate
Transdermal iontophoresis would be a promising method for the systemic delivery of water soluble and ionic drugs of relatively high molecular size, including peptides. The objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of biological variable such as guinea pig and human cadaver skin and other variables like drug concentration, current density on the transdermal iontophoretic trans...
