The migration of volatile components into the headspace of vials sealed with rubber closures is a potential source of haze formation in solutions of reconstituted powders for parenteral administration. Different types of vial closures were examined to determine their propensity to release volatile compounds. It was possible to accumulate the volatiles in a cold trap by means of thermal desorption and dynamic headspace. Gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry was then used to characterize the volatiles isolated. Components found in the headspace of butyl and halogenated butyl rubber closures included saturated hydrocarbons, unchlorinated or chlorinated olefins, alkylbenzenes, and low molecular weight polydimethylsiloxanes.

A Container Closure Integrity Test Method for Vials Stored at Cryogenic Conditions Using Headspace Oxygen Analysis.

An increasing number of pharmaceutical products require deep cold storage at cryogenic conditions, approximately -150°C to -190°C, to maintain stability and/or activity. Previous work has revealed that, at these extreme conditions, a typical pharmaceutical package configuration (vial, stopper, crimp cap) may lose container closure integrity (CCI) due to both the glass transition temperature (-55°C to -70°C) of the rubber stopper used to seal the vial and the different thermal expansion coefficients of the primary packaging components. Importantly, this type of temporary breach in CCI frequently reseals itself when the vial is brought back to ambient temperature.

Introduction: The hermetic closure of the dura mater is a critical step in neurosurgical training, often undervalued but crucial to preventing serious complications such as cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks leading to meningitis and death. Inadequate closure, often due to insufficient training, can result in challenging complications, including prolonged hospitalization and reoperation.
Objective: To address the deficiencies in dural closure training, this study aims to describe a 3D prototype for simulating post-craniotomy dura mater suturing.

Management of open apex cases in endodontics poses a significant challenge, especially in immature teeth with necrotic pulps. Traditional apexification techniques have been the mainstay of treatment, aiming to induce the formation of a calcific barrier at the root apex. However, newer approaches incorporating biological materials such as platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and demineralized bone matrix (DMBM) have emerged as promising alternatives.

Gyroid structures are among the most widely used three-dimensional elements produced by various additive manufacturing technologies. This paper focuses on a metrological analysis of Flexfill 92A material specimens with a relative density (25 to 85%) using industrial computer tomography. The results show that for a given structure, the best method is to use surface determination with the closure of internal defects in the material.
