In Situ Eutectic Formation in a Polymeric Matrix via Hot-Melt Reactive Extrusion and the Use of Partial Least Squares Regression Modeling for Reaction Yield Determination.

There has been a significant volume of work investigating the design and synthesis of new crystalline multicomponent systems via examining complementary functional groups that can reliably interact through the formation of noncovalent bonds, such as hydrogen bonds (H-bonds). Crystalline multicomponent molecular adducts formed using this approach, such as cocrystals, salts, and eutectics, have emerged as drug product intermediates that can lead to effective drug property modifications. Recent advancement in the production for these multicomponent molecular adducts has moved from batch techniques that rely upon intensive solvent use to those that are solvent-free, continuous, and industry-ready, such as reactive extrusion.

A one size vial does not fit all: An evaluation of the micronutrient status of adult patients receiving home parenteral nutrition (HPN).

Background & Aims: Patients with chronic intestinal failure require HPN. Previous studies have reported a high prevalence of micronutrient deficiencies. We examined the micronutrient status of our patients receiving.

WITHDRAWN: Usefulness of nabilone as an antiemetic in persistent vomiting due to refractory gastrointestinal disorders.

Nabilone, a synthetic analogue of delta-9-Tetrahydrocannabinol, is an agonist of cannabinoid receptors (CB-1 and CB-2) approved to treat chemotherapy-induced vomiting refractory to antiemetics. Its use in patients with refractory vomiting due to gastrointestinal dysmotility (GID) has not been reported. Our study aims are to assess nabilone usefulness and side-effects in patients with refractory vomiting due to GID.

Investigating the Relationship between Home Parenteral Support and Needs-Based Quality of Life in Patients with Chronic Intestinal Failure: A National Multi-Centre Longitudinal Cohort Study.

Home parenteral support (HPS) is an essential but potentially burdensome treatment that can affect quality of life (QoL). The aims of this longitudinal study were to understand whether any changes in HPS over time were associated with QoL. The Parenteral Nutrition Impact Questionnaire (PNIQ) was used, and data were collected on HPS prescribed at three time points.
