Ultrasound-triggered release from multilayered capsules.
The growing need for drug-delivery systems that release their contents in a desired fashion has intensified research for “smart carriers” with intelligent properties. Compared to more established delivery vehicles, such as polymeric micelles, liposomes, and small colloidal particles, polymeric polyelectrolyte multilayered capsules 8] are emerging materials with high potential as macromolecular ...
متن کاملComparing the effectiveness of broad spectrum antibiotic prophylaxis with single agent antibiotic prophylaxis to prevent post-cesarean section infection
Introduction: The rate of cesarean delivery is increasing. Infection is one of the most frequent and important complications of emergency cesarean section. Infection prophylaxis has an important role to reduce post-cesarean delivery complication. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of broad spectrum antibiotic prophylaxis (Azithromycin+Cephalotin) with single agent antibiotic...
متن کاملMechanical release from paramagnetic liposomes triggered by low frequency ultrasound
Introduction Non, or minimally, invasive in vivo visualization of drug release triggered by externally-applied physical stimuli, like heating, light or ultrasound (US) is an emerging topic in molecular medicine. As far as US is concerned, most of the published investigations were performed using nanoor micro-bubbles in which the presence of the gas-filled core makes cavitation (and US detection...
متن کاملPorous and Bioactive PEEK Implants for Interbody Spinal Fusion
Back and radicular pain is the leading cause of activity and productivity loss amongst adults of any age in the United States [Ref. 1]. In many cases, surgical intervention is required, including at least 5,000 interbody spinal fusion cages implanted each month in the U.S. alone [Ref. 2]. The total U.S. market for spinal fusion implants was valued at nearly $4 billion in 2008 [Ref. 3]. Interbod...
متن کاملPEEK Versus Ti Interbody Fusion Devices: Resultant Fusion, Bone Apposition, Initial and 26-Week Biomechanics.
STUDY DESIGN Comparative evaluation of in vitro and in vivo biomechanics, resulting fusion and histomorphometric aspects of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) versus titanium (Ti) interbody fusion devices in an animal model with similar volumes of bone graft. OBJECTIVE Identify differences in the characteristics of fusion and biomechanics immediately following implantation (time 0) and at 26 weeks w...
