This study was designed to evaluate the cats' acceptance and compliance of the owners and cats towards an extemporaneously prepared palatable compounded atenolol (paste and suspension) formulation in comparison to the commercially obtained tablet, in a randomised, cross-over study design.The three formulations were prescribed twice daily for 6 days to 13 healthy privately-owned cats of 13 different owners, with varying levels of experience in medicating cats. Daily compliance was evaluated via an owner-completed diary, completed after each dose administered. Owner's experience and preference of the formulation was evaluated via questionnaires given prior to, at the end of each treatment protocol, and upon completion of the study. Although compounded suspension was association with fewest missed doses, the majority of cat owners expressed a preference for the divided tablet. Atenolol tablets, compounded paste and suspension acceptance and compliance were comparable. Further work is now required to assess the amount and stability of the active ingredient and the robustness of the paste and suspension formulations prior to any bioavailability comparisons between the formulations.

Microgel suspensions have garnered significant interest in fundamental research due to their phase transition between liquid-like to paste-like behaviors stemming from tunable interparticle and particle-solvent interactions. Particularly, stimuli-responsive microgels undergo faster volume changes in response to external stimuli in comparison to their bulk counterparts, while maintaining their structural integrity. Here, concentrated and diluted suspensions of poly(-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAm) microgels are dispersed to different packing fractions in water for the characterizations of temperature-responsive rheological responses.

Sacrificial templating offers the ability to create interconnected pores within 3D printed filaments and to control pore morphology. Beta-tricalcium phosphate (TCP) bone tissue engineering (BTE) scaffolds were fabricated with multiscale porosity: (i) macropores from direct ink writing (DIW, a material extrusion 3D printing technique), (ii) micropores from oil templating, and (iii) smaller micropores from partial sintering. The hierarchically porous scaffolds possessed a total porosity of 58-70 %, comprising 54-63 % interconnected open pores.

An addition of carbon nanostructures to cement paste is problematic due to the difficulties in obtaining homogenous mixtures. The paper reports on a more effective way of mixing carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT-COOH) in cement pastes. The additional biological impact of the studied nanomodified cement was analyzed in the case of two moss species' vitality.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined how micro-crushing technology affects the properties of rice flour and the quality of rice cakes by analyzing factors such as water-holding capacity, emulsification, and gelatinization.
- Results showed that smaller particle sizes increased damaged starch content and improved certain quality aspects of rice cakes, such as elasticity and porosity, while making them less hard and chewy.
- The findings indicate that fine rice flour can enhance rice cake quality and provide insights into how its physiochemical properties influence gelatinization and overall texture.

The irritation and adhesion of wound healing biomaterials to wet wounds should be addressed for achieving effective wound healing. In this study, a stable multifunctional hydrogels (BGs/HA suspension gels) were prepared using superfine powder of bioactive glasses (BGs), the biocompatible materials hyaluronic acid (HA) and carbomer940, which had good adhesion and low irritation properties for use in moist complex wounds. The average particle size of BGs/HA suspension gels was 13.
