There is increasing interest to administer ibuprofen as a continuous infusion instead of a traditional bolus for treating Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA). However, its compatibility data with commonly used drugs in the neonatal period, including parenteral nutrition (PN) and lipids is unavailable. The aim is to determine the compatibility of intravenous ibuprofen lysine with various ANZNN parent...

The main objective of this paper is to assess the effect of different viscosity-enhancing admixture (VEA) types and concentrations on deformability and stability of self-consolidating concrete (SCC). Two polysaccharide-based VEAs, one cellulose-based VEA, and a modified-startch VEA are used in this investigation. Regardless of polymer type, results showed that the incorporation of VEA leads to ...

The serendipitous discovery by Rosenberg et al. [ 1 ] that cell replication could be inhibited by platinum complexes led to the development and therapeutic use of cisplatin (cis-diamminedichloroplatinum II) as an anticancer agent. Cisplatin is currently used in treating testicular, ovarian, and lung cancers as well as squamous cancers of the head and neck [ 2-51. The anticancer agent 5fluoroura...

BACKGROUND Parenteral antiepileptic drugs are frequently used in critically ill patients for seizure control therapy or prevention. Many of these patients require additional parenteral nutrition (PN). Therefore, a parallel infusion of the frequently used antiepileptic drug levetiracetam (LEV) is interesting in terms of the restricted i.v. lines (e.g., neonates). The potential interactions of th...

Ranitidine and metoclopramide are routinely given intravenously before surgical procedures that involve spinal or general anesthesia. Recently, another institution contacted our institution to request stability data to support the practice of routinely mixing ranitidine 50 mg and metoclopramide 10 mg in a 50-mL minibag of normal saline (0.9% sodium chloride) for IV administration before cesarea...

in this project, the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of malt obtained from barley, (var. sahra), wheat (var tajan) and triticale, and their admixtured malts were investigated in a completely randomized design with eight treatments to determine the optimal treatment using diastatic power, hot water extract and production of suitable raw materials for the malt beverage and bakery ind...

As one of the most used grouting materials, cement has characteristics low price and a wide resource raw material. With in-depth research application admixture, compatibility between different water-reducing agents clay become critical factors that affects hydration process. Due to adsorption on additives, dispersion efficiency water reducer will be reduced, also strength impermeability product...

BACKGROUND Preterm infants need high amounts of calcium and phosphorus for bone mineralization, which is difficult to obtain with parenteral feeding due to the low solubility of these salts. The objective of this study was to evaluate the physicochemical compatibility of high concentrations of calcium associated with organic phosphate and its influence on the stability of AIO admixtures for neo...
