Experimental and Theoretical Design on the Development of Matrix Tablets with Multiple Drug Loadings Aimed at Optimizing Antidiabetic Medication.

Diabetes is a growing global health crisis that requires effective therapeutic strategies to optimize treatment outcomes. This study aims to address this challenge by developing and characterizing extended-release polymeric matrix tablets containing metformin hydrochloride (M-HCl), a first-line treatment for type 2 diabetes, and honokiol (HNK), a bioactive compound with potential therapeutic benefits. The objective is to enhance glycemic control and overall therapeutic outcomes through an innovative dual-drug delivery system.

Multifractal Analysis and Experimental Evaluation of MCM-48 Mesoporous Silica as a Drug Delivery System for Metformin Hydrochloride.

: This study explored the potential of MCM-48 mesoporous silica matrices as a drug delivery system for metformin hydrochloride, aimed at improving the therapeutic management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The objectives included the synthesis and characterization of MCM-48, assessment of its drug loading capacity, analysis of drug release profiles under simulated physiological conditions, and the development of a multifractal dynamics-based theoretical framework to model and interpret the release kinetics. : MCM-48 was synthesized using a sol-gel method and characterized by SEM-EDX, TEM, and nitrogen adsorption techniques.

Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy After Cytoreductive Surgery and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy for a Recurrent Colon Cancer: A Life-Threatening Complication.

(1) Background: Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, or stress cardiomyopathy, is an acute heart failure condition with transient left ventricular (LV) motion abnormalities but no significant coronary artery obstruction. It mimics acute coronary syndrome (ACS), with symptoms like chest pain, dyspnea, and ECG changes. (2) Case Report: We present the case of a 44-year-old female with relapsed colon cancer and peritoneal carcinomatosis.

Development of Solid Lipid Nanoparticles for Controlled Amiodarone Delivery.

In various drug delivery systems, solid lipid nanoparticles are dominantly lipid-based nanocarriers. Amiodarone hydrochloride is an antiarrhythmic agent used to treat severe rhythm disturbances. It has variable and hard-to-predict absorption in the gastrointestinal tract because of its low solubility and high permeability.

Aromatherapeutic and Antibacterial Properties of Cotton Materials Treated with Emulsions Containing Peppermint Essential Oil ().

The objective of the work was to obtain materials with aromatherapeutic and antibacterial properties by applying emulsions based on peppermint essential oil (PEO) onto cotton fabric. For this purpose, some emulsions based on PEO incorporated in various matrices (chitosan + gelatin + beeswax; chitosan + beeswax; gelatin + beeswax and gelatin + chitosan) were prepared. Tween 80 was used as a synthetic emulsifier.
