An Overview on Thermosensitive Oral Gel Based on Poloxamer 407.

In this review, we describe the application of thermosensitive hydrogels composed of poloxamer in medicine, especially for oral cavities. Thermosensitive hydrogels remain fluid at room temperature; at body temperature, they become more viscous gels. In this manner, the gelling system can remain localized for considerable durations and control and prolong drug release.

Synovial sarcoma of the spinal canal and paraspinal muscle and retroperitoneum: a case with extensive calcification.
