Aim: The aim of this study was to assess a spray formulation containing colloidal silver and hyaluronic acid.
Methods: Patients included in the study were divided in two separate groups: 30 patients had chronic wounds and 24 patients had superficial traumatic wounds. Applications were performed at intervals of 3-7 days, depending upon lesions characteristics. Subsequent improvements were evaluated at various intervals after enrollment. The lesion area and the rate of re-epithelialization were calculated, considering the time span and monitoring the patients for clinical signs of wound infection. Patients satisfaction and compliance were evaluated by a questionnaire aimed at assessing pain and ease of use of the device.
Results: Chronic lesions were healed at week 12, with a high rate of closure observed at 6 weeks (70%). Furthermore, traumatic wounds healed at six weeks, with a substantial percentage of closure (80%) at three weeks. A good control of microbial contamination was evident in all the treated wounds; in no case other antimicrobial medications were used. Finally, patients favorably expressed compliance with regard to the spray formulation and ease of use.
Conclusion: This type of clinical approach seems to be a rational good choice to promote re-epithelialization of superficial cutaneous ulcers of different origins as well as control of bacterial infections.

The present study was conducted with the aim to identify estimates and risk assessment for the pesticide residue present in vegetables, soil, and water in Haryana, India. In the present study, environmental monitoring of commonly sprayed 161 pesticides was done using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry and gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry for 102 vegetables, 46 soil, and 50 water samples collected from four districts in Haryana, India. A total of 198 samples were analyzed for the presence of pesticide residue and the measured pesticide concentrations were compared with the Maximum Residue Limit (MRL) set by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) and European regulations.

Purpose: There are scarce reports on in vitro-in vivo correlation (IVIVC) model development of immediate-release (IR) formulations, and few investigations of the impacts of formulation and process of spray-dried solid dispersions (SDD)-based tablets on human pharmacokinetics (PK), despite commercial product successes. The goal of this study was to investigate the formulation and process factors that impact bioavailability enhancement of IR itraconazole SDD tablets; and to develop an FDA level A IVIVC that would predict in vivo PK performance from in vitro dissolution testing.
Methods: A direct, differential-equation-based IVIVC model approach was employed, using an oral solution for post-dissolution disposition and Fast-, Medium-, and Slow-release tablets.
Mechanistic Investigation into the Phase Separation Behavior of Soluplus in the Presence of Biorelevant Media.

More than a decade since its introduction, the polymeric excipient Soluplus continues to receive considerable attention for its application in the development of amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) and its utility as a solubilizer for drugs exhibiting solubility limited absorption. While it is well-recognized that Soluplus forms micelles, the impact of its lower critical solution temperature of approximately 40 °C remains an underexplored aspect. This study investigated the phase behavior of Soluplus in fasted-state simulated intestinal fluid (FaSSIF-V1).

Aims: This study aimed to develop microparticles of N-phenyl-2,2-dichloroacetamide (PDA), a chloramphenicol derivative with potential antibacterial and anticancer properties, to improve drug release and selectivity while reducing toxicity.
Materials & Methods: PDA microparticles were prepared via spray-drying using L-leucine, Trehalose, and Mannitol. The particles were characterized for size, drug release, antibacterial activity, and cytotoxicity against A549 cancer cells and fibroblasts.
