Differences in fluidity and viscosity of brand-name and generic injectable ointment.

Generic medications contain the identical active ingredient in the same concentration as their branded counterparts and are administered in the same manner, aiming to deliver comparable efficacy, dosage, and clinical outcomes. Nevertheless, variations in additives and formulation processes, particularly noticeable in topical medications, can influence factors like ease of use and patient adherence. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to compare the rheological attributes of branded and generic injectable ointments, assessing disparities in formulation performance and their impact on patient care.

Association Reaction of Gaseous CH in Femtosecond Laser Filaments Studied by Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry.

Association reactions by femtosecond laser filamentation in gaseous CH were studied by time-of-flight mass spectrometry of neutral reaction products. Direct sampling from the reaction cell to a mass spectrometer via a differential pumping stage allowed the identification of various hydrocarbon molecules C H with = 3-7 and = 4-7, which includes species not observed in the previous studies. It was found that products containing three and four carbon atoms dominate the mass spectrum with smaller yields for higher-mass species, suggesting that carbon chain growth proceeds through the reaction with CH in the reaction cell.

Safety and Effectiveness of Ixazomib Dose-escalating Strategy in Ixazomib-Lenalidomide-Dexamethasone Treatment for Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma.

Background/aim: Gastrointestinal toxicity is common in patients receiving common therapy of ixazomib with lenalidomide and low-dose dexamethasone (IRd) for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. Here, we investigated the safety and effectiveness of ixazomib dosing schedules.

Patients And Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 17 consecutive patients treated with IRd (10 patients on ixazomib dose-escalation strategy (2.

Adhesive cell patterning technique using ultrasound vibrations.

This paper investigated an ultrasound vibration cell patterning technique. The ultrasound cell culture dish consisted of a culture dish with a glass bottom and a glass disc with a piezoelectric ring that generated a resonance flexural vibration mode on the bottom of the dish. The growth of HeLa cells on the dish was observed under ultrasound excitation for 24 h.

Self-propelled droplets for extracting rare-earth metal ions.

We have developed self-propelled droplets having the abilities to detect a chemical gradient, to move toward a higher concentration of a specific metal ion (particularly the dysprosium ion), and to extract it. Such abilities rely on the high surface activity of di(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid (DEHPA) in response to pH and the affinity of DEHPA for the dysprosium ion. We used two external stimuli as chemical signals to control droplet motion: a pH signal to induce motility and metal ions to induce directional sensing.
