objective(s): pharmaceutical industries are leading to improved medications that can target diseases more effectively and precisely. researchers have intended to reformulate drugs so that they may be more safely used in human body. the more targeted a drug is, the lower its chance of triggering drug resistance, a cautionary concern surrounding the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics. the aim of t...

Gellan gum is a biocompatible and easily accessible polysaccharide with excellent properties to produce microparticles as drug delivery systems. However, the production methods often fail in reproducibility, compromising translational potential of such In this work, gellan gum-based was optimized using coaxial air flow method, an inexpensive reproducible method. A design experiments used identi...

ketorolac tromethamine (kt) containing microemulsion-based gels (mbgs) have been formulated, based on the previous phase diagram studies, using a pharmaceutically acceptable surfactant (soybean lecithin; epikuron 200) and oil (isopropyl myristate; ipm) and the effect of formulation variables on the release profile of the drug from mbgs through intact guinea pig skin and various artificial membr...

background: motor vehicle traffic injuries are indeed one of the most important worldwide health problems. opioids can induce a depressant effect on the central nervous system which may increase the risk of traffic accidents. this cross-sectional case-control study was conducted in marvdasht, iran to investigate the presence of drugs in hospitalized non-fatally injured drivers of motor vehicles...

There is currently a great deal of world-wide interest in the field of transdermal drug delivery and, consequently, broad classes of drugs are being evaluated for percutaneous absorption potential. The advantages of this mode of drug administration are numerous, the patient convenience and therapeutic optimization of using patch transdermal systems being major positive features. The in vitro re...

The development of novel drug delivery systems is an essential step toward controlled site-specific administration of therapeutics within the body. It is desirable for delivery vehicles to be introduced into the body through minimally invasive means and, these vehicles should be capable of releasing drug to their intended location at a controlled rate. Furthermore, it is desirable to develop dr...

A common approach for building a drug delivery system is to incorporate the drug within the nanocarrier that results in increased solubility, metabolic stability, and improved circulation time. However, recent developments indicate that selection of polymer nanomaterials can implement more than only inert carrier functions by being biological response modifiers. One representative of such mater...

background the development of drug delivery systems has improved the therapeutic and toxic properties of existing drugs in therapy. microemulsion systems are novel vehicles for drug delivery, which have been developed in recent years. these systems are currently of interest to the pharmaceutical scientist because of their considerable potential to act as drug delivery vehicles by incorporating ...

nowadays, using public transportation vehicles like metro in large cities are of significance, and exposure to whole-body vibration for the metro passengers is one of the physical contaminations. this paper is conducted with the aim of evaluating the passengers’ convenience and health both in sitting and standing conditions. the present study was done on the passengers of lines 1, 2, and 4 of t...
