Has the rescheduling of modified-release paracetamol in Australia affected the frequency of overdoses?

Objectives: In June 2020, modified-release paracetamol (paracetamol-MR) preparations were up-scheduled from schedule-2 (available in pharmacy) to schedule-3 (available by request to a pharmacist only). The present study aims to ascertain whether up-scheduling affected the frequency of paracetamol-MR overdoses.

Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study of two data sets from 1 June 2017 to 31 May 2022.

Designed Y Surface Segregation Increases Stability of Nanocrystalline Zinc Aluminate.

The thermal stability of zinc aluminate nanoparticles is critical for their use as catalyst supports. In this study, we experimentally show that doping with 0.5 mol % YO improves the stability of zinc aluminate nanoparticles.
