Introduction: Cardiotoxicity is the most important side effect of Trastuzumab treatment. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of Trastuzumab induced cardiotoxicity and to analyze risk factors associated with this side effect.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective institutional study was carried out from June 2018 to December 2018 at the department of Medical Oncology of Salah Azaiz institute, Tunis, Tunisia.
Conventional degreasing of skins and hides in the leather industry requires high amounts of organic solvents and detergents that cause environmental issues. In this study, the LIP2 lipase from the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica (YLLIP2) was shown to be effective in degreasing sheepskins, thus reducing the amount of harmful chemicals. Using 6 mg of lipase/kg of raw skin, successful degreasing was achieved in only 15 min at pH 8 and 30°C.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFLipid-based drug delivery systems are widely used for enhancing the bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs. However, following oral intake, lipid excipients often undergo gastrointestinal lipolysis, which drastically affects drugs solubility and bioavailability. That's why developing new lipid excipients which are resistant to digestion would be of great interest.
