In this work attempts were made to evaluate K+-SDS and hydrocolloid polymer-SDS interactions in flocculation of megestrol acetate dispersions to enhance their stability as a part of suspension formulation. Different dispersions of micronized megestrol acetate and SDS were prepared. KCl and KH2PO4 and their corresponding sodium salts were added to the dispersions and the preparations were evalua...

BACKGROUND Our study aimed to evaluate final height in a cohort of Dutch childhood cancer survivors (CCS) and assess possible determinants of final height, including height at diagnosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS We calculated standard deviation scores (SDS) for height at initial cancer diagnosis and height in adulthood in a cohort of 573 CCS. Multivariable regression analyses were carried out to ...

Aim To evaluate final height in a cohort of Dutch childhood cancer survivors (CCS) and assess possible determinants of final height, including height at diagnosis. Patients and Methods We calculated standard deviation scores (SDS) for height at initial cancer diagnosis and height in adulthood in a cohort of 573 CCS. Multivariable regression analyses were performed to estimate the influence of d...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We studied the dynamics of extracellular brain tissue concentrations of glucose, lactate, pyruvate, and glutamate during the occurrence of spreading depolarizations (SDs) in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. METHODS In this prospective observational study, patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage received multimodal cerebral monitoring, including...

The effects of an anionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), on the optical transmittance, thermal, and rheological properties of methylcellulose (MC) aqueous solutions have been studied. The particular interest of this work was focused on the effects of SDS on the sol–gel transition of MC. Basically, two effects of SDS have been identified, which are the salt-out and salt-in effects at...

We have simulated sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) surfactant/waterþ bilayer graphene mixture system to investigate two mechanisms of graphene exfoliation: changing the interlayer distance and sliding away the relative distance. By calculating the total energy as a function of the interlayer (sliding-away) distance at different surface-coverage concentrations of SDS surfactant (SDS concentrations),...
