Development and Analysis of Bilayer Foamed Oleogels Stabilized with Ecogel™: Exploring the Role of Tween 80 in Modifying Physicochemical Properties.

Oleogels are structured materials formed by immobilizing oil within a polymer network. This study aimed to synthesize bilayer foamed oleogels using Ecogel™ as an emulsifier-a natural gelling and emulsifying agent commonly used to stabilize emulsions. Ecogel™ is multifunctional, particularly in cosmetic formulations, where it aids in creating lightweight cream gels with a cooling effect.

Study on the Effect of Emulsifiers on the Properties of Oleogels Based on Olive Oil Containing Lidocaine.

Oleogels are semi-solid materials that consist primarily of liquid oil immobilized in a network of organized structural molecules, which provide stability and maintain the oil in the desired shape. Due to their structure, oleogels can stabilize large amounts of liquid, making them excellent carriers for active substances, both lipophilic and hydrophilic. This study presents the synthesis methodology and investigations of olive oil-based oleogels, which are among the healthiest and most valuable vegetable fats, rich in unsaturated fatty acids and antioxidants such as vitamin E.

Double layer bacterial nanocellulose - poly(hydroxyoctanoate) film activated by prodigiosin as sustainable, transparent, UV-blocking material.

Synthetic materials alternatives are crucial for reaching sustainable development goals and waste reduction. Biomaterials and biomolecules obtained through bacterial fermentation offer a viable solution. Double-layer active UV-blocking material composed of bacterial nanocellulose as an inner layer and poly(hydroxyoctanoic acid) containing prodigiosin as an active compound was produced by layer-by-layer deposition.

Serum Cortisol and Blood Glucose Concentrations in Anesthetized Dogs Administered Levobupivacaine and Low-Dose Dexmedetomidine for Regional Anesthesia of the Oral Cavity.

The effects on the stress response, postanesthetic sedation, and altered behavior were evaluated following regional anesthesia and dental treatment in 40 dogs. Serum cortisol and blood glucose concentrations were measured following the administration of levobupivacaine (LBUP) 0.5% and dexmedetomidine (DEX) (0.
