متن کاملSustained Release of Risedronate from PLGA Microparticles Embedded in Alginate Hydrogel for Treatment of Bony Lesions
Background: Inflammatory bone resorption in periodontitis can lead to tooth loss. Systemic administration of bisphosphonates such as risedronate for preventing bone resorption can cause adverse effects. Alginate hydrogel (ALG) and poly (lactic acid-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microparticles have been studied as drug delivery systems for sustained release of drugs. Therefore, the release pattern of...
متن کاملGeneric Architecture Designed for Biomedical Embedded Systems
Embedded Systems assume an increasing importance in biomedical applications such as for clinical analysis and for patient monitoring. The lack of generic architectures make the design of this type of autonomous embedded systems a cumbersome and expensive task. This paper proposes a generic architecture for developing biomedical embedded systems, considering both the hardware and software layers...
