Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effects of a traumatic brachial plexus injury and successfully restores shoulder and elbow function through a bipolar latissimus dorsi muscle transfer procedure.
- A 26-year-old male patient with left upper limb weakness for 1.5 years post-injury initially showed no movement in shoulder abduction and elbow flexion, alongside partial nerve damage.
- Post-surgery, the patient regained elbow flexion and some shoulder movement, with significant improvement seen at six months, indicating the procedure's effectiveness and the importance of preoperative muscle strength assessment for recovery predictions.
The in vitro release of a drug from topical formulations depends on the concentration of the drug in the formulation, the solubility of the drug in the base, the diffusion coefficient of the drug in the vehicle, and the partition coefficient of the drug between the vehicle, and the release medium. Incorporation of both complexing agents and cosolvents into such formulations has been used to enhance the in vitro release of a drug from topical formulations. In this investigation, a novel approach to enhance the in vitro release of benzocaine from different ointment formulations has been introduced.
