Glycopyrronium 320 μg/mL in children and adolescents with severe sialorrhoea and neurodisabilities: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.

Aim: To investigate the efficacy, safety, and impact on quality of life (QoL) of an oral formulation of 320 μg/mL glycopyrronium designed for children.

Method: A double-blind, placebo-controlled SALIVA (Sialanar plus orAl rehabiLitation against placebo plus oral rehabilitation for chIldren and adolescents with seVere sialorrhoeA and neurodisabilities) trial was conducted. Children (3-17 years) with neurodisabilities and severe sialorrhoea (modified Teachers Drooling Scale ≥6) were randomized to 320 μg/mL glycopyrronium or placebo, in addition to non-pharmacological standard care.

Randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of glycopyrronium in children and adolescents with severe sialorrhoea and neurodisabilities: protocol of the SALIVA trial.

Introduction: Severe sialorrhoea is a common, distressing problem in children/adolescents with neurodisabilities, which has adverse health and social consequences. The SALIVA trial is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a paediatric-specific oral solution of glycopyrronium along with its impact on quality-of-life (QoL), which has been lacking from previous trials of sialorrhoea treatments.

Methods And Analysis: A double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomised phase IV trial is ongoing in several centres across France.

Free radical scavenging properties of mannitol and its role as a constituent of hyaluronic acid fillers: a literature review.

Mannitol has both hydrating and antioxidant properties that make it an ideal excipient for use with hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers. This review examines the role of reactive oxygen species in the ageing process and their effects on both endogenous HA and HA products developed for aesthetic use. Evidence is presented to show that the free radical scavenging properties of mannitol provide it with a two-fold mechanism of action when combined with HA fillers: reducing the inflammation and swelling associated with the injection procedure itself, and preventing the degradation of the injected HA by free radicals.

Solid-state magnetic switching triggered by proton-coupled electron-transfer assisted by long-distance proton-alkali cation transport.

Acidity of water molecules coordinated to Co ions in CoFe Prussian blue analogues (PBA) has been used to reversibly activate the Co(III)Fe(II) ↔ Co(II)Fe(III) electron transfer. The study of the structure and the electronic structure shows that the process implies an original PCET reaction between a solid-state porous coordination polymer and hydroxide ions in solution. The PCET reaction spreads throughout the solid network thanks to a long-range H(+) and Rb(+) transport within the pore channels of PBA taking advantage of the hydrogen-bonding network of zeolitic water molecules acting as proton wires.

Interaction of Fe(III) and Al(III) during hydroxylation by forced hydrolysis: the nature of Al-Fe oxyhydroxy co-precipitates.

Al-Fe oxyhydroxy co-precipitates were synthesised by forced hydrolysis of Fe(NO3)3·9H2O and Al(NO3)3·9H2O solutions. Solids containing 0, 1, 10, 25, 50, 75, 90 mol% Al were characterised for composition, texture, mineral structure and local atomic environment. Cation substitution in the hydrous oxides was not observed.
