Thermodynamic Assessment of the Pyrazinamide Dissolution Process in Some Organic Solvents.

Pyrazinamide is a first line drug used for the treatment of tuberculosis, a pathology that caused the death of more than 1.3 million people in the world during 2022, according to WHO, being a drug of current interest due to its relevance in pharmaceutical and medical sciences. In this context, solubility is one of the most important physicochemical parameters in the development and/or optimization of new pharmaceutical forms, so the present work aims to present a thermodynamic study of the solubility of pyrazinamide in nine organic solvents of pharmaceutical interest.

First trimester sonographic diagnosis of orofacial defects. Review of literature.

Ultrasound has been used since the 1950s as a useful tool for the screening of several pregnancy abnormalities. The National Institute for Excellence in Health and Care (NICE) guidelines for prenatal control recommend its routine use between 12 and 20 weeks of gestational age, given that during the first trimester, a series of very frequent markers that determine a high risk of fetal anomalies can be evaluated. Among these markers, the most frequently studied are: increased nuchal translucency, the absence of nasal bones, increased tricuspid regurgitation, and altered flow in the venous duct.
