STUDY OF HEALTHY VOLUNTEERS: This double blind study (bioadhesive plaster of diclofenac epolamine versus placebo), showed that the application of diclofenac epolamine for 24 hours induced a selective hypoanalgesic effect on the muscle, proportional to the degree of hypersensitivity to the pain observed in baseline conditions. The enhanced effect on the hyperalgic muscle can be explained by the direct impact of the active ingredient on the nociceptors and/or its inhibiting effect on the local production of prostaglandins. STUDY OF PATIENTS SUFFERING FROM BILATERAL OSTEO-ARTHRITIS OF THE KNEE: In a 24 hour trial of the treatment (bioadhesive plaster impregnated with diclofenac epolamine (Flector Plaster) versus placebo), the active treatment had a significant impact on the spontaneous pain during rest that was enhanced during mouvement. In a longer term trial (72 hours), the regression of the spontaneous pain on the visual analog scale appeared even more significant, still lasting 96 hours after withdrawal of the plaster, not only at rest but also on mouvement.

Phthalates such as DHEP are among the widely used compounds in industry. It has been shown that DHEP can convey various biological consequences in mammalian cells, among them, the carcinogenic effects of DHEP are emphasized. The present study aimed to assess the impact of DHEP exposure on the proliferation and invasiveness of DU145 prostate cancer cells through in vitro and in vivo models.

American Dental Hygienists' Association, Chicago, Illinois, USA.
Purpose: Concern over inadequacy and implementation processes of nutritional content in dental hygiene education program (DHEP) curriculum policy at both a didactic level and clinical level exists. The purpose of this qualitative study was to examine the DHEP extent and practices of didactic and clinical nutrition content, identify DHEP barriers to increasing nutrition education content, and determine the need for a nutrition content curriculum standard from the director's perspective.
Methods: A qualitative descriptive design was utilized, and DHEP directors were recruited through purposive sampling.

Microneedle (MN) patches are highly efficient and versatile tools for transdermal drug administration, in particular for pain-free, self-medication and rapid local applications. Diffraction ultraviolet (UV) light lithography offers an advanced method in fabricating poly(ethylene glycol)-based MNs with different shapes, by changing both the UV-light exposure time and photomask design. The exposure time interval is limited at obtaining conical structures with aspect ratio < 1:3, otherwise MNs exhibit reduced fracture load and poor indentation ability, not suitable for practical application.
