AIM To assess the efficacy of sodium carboxymethylcellulose in the treatment of dry eye. MATERIAL AND METHODS We carried out a prospective, randomized, masked-observer, control/problem group, single-center clinical assay during a period of 12 months in 19 patients that presented mild or moderate forms of dry eye. Patients were clinically evaluated each 3 months and treated with a 0.5% isotoni...

Aggregation behaviour of cefprozil monohydrate (C18H19N3O5S.H2O), an antibiotic, has been studied in presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) and Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). Critical micelle concentration (CMC) of drug is determined to be 0.34 mM and is observed to decrease significantly at SDS < 2 mM. Above this concentration increase is less prominent and remains almost constant. ...

This article offers insight into the role of binders in overall performance a dual-ion battery (DIB). Replacing sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) with poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVdF-HFP) enhances interfacial stability graphite positive electrode DIB. Electrochemical testing combined X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and operando pressure measurements highlight th...

The influence of surfactants (anionic sodium dodecyl sulfate, and nonionic tert-octylphenol ethoxylate with 9.5EO) and their mixtures on the adsorption of carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) in the presence of 0.001 M NaCl on the manganese dioxide surface (MnO(2)) was studied. The increase in CMC adsorption was observed in all measured systems in the presence of surfactants. The reason for this is the...

The mutual interaction between 5, 5-diphenyl hydantoin sodium salt (C15H11N2NaO2) also known as dilantin sodium (DS) and surfactants like sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) has been studied by measuring the variation of their aggregation properties in pressence of each other. Critical micelle concentration (CMC) of DS determined by spectrophotometric and con...

Surfactants are chemicals that adsorb to the interface between a solution and another phase (gases or solids) self-assemble molecular clusters known as micelles in (water oil phase). Measurements of surface tension sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) distilled water at 298.15K reported. The increase concentration then decreased 298.15K. Critical micelle (CMC) with decrease tension. graphs versus were ...

Sources of viscous soluble fibre, such as barley and oats, have often been included in the weaning diet of the pig to accelerate development of the large intestine. Inclusion of a non-fermentable, viscous compound, sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), in a low-fibre weaning diet was tested to assess the influence of digesta viscosity on the gut in the absence of increased fermentation. Two CMC ...

In this article, the effect of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as an anionic surfactant on the thermodynamics, formation rate, formation kinetic, critical micellar concentration (CMC) and stability of methane hydrate was studied. A CMC of SDS and water solution for methane hydrate formation conditions in a batch process was measured at 450 ppm, where CMC was determined by hydrate induction time. I...

orally disintegrating tablets (odt) have the advantages of both solid dosage form specially the stability and ease of handling and liquid dosage forms including ease of swallowing and pre-gastric absorption. we focused on taste masking and formulation of ranitidine odt which disintegrates rapidly in the mouth within 60 seconds using super-disintegrants, special polymers, water soluble and even ...

OBJECTIVE To determine the efficacy of adhesion barriers in horses using quantitative statistical analysis. STUDY DESIGN Meta-analytical review. METHODS A search using PubMed/MEDLINE and Google Scholar was performed, followed by secondary searches of veterinary trade journals, bibliographies of relevant articles, manufacturer websites, and technical reference guides. Randomized experimental...
