Understanding the product and process variable on the final product performance is an essential part of the quality-by-design (QbD) principles in pharmaceutical development. The hard capsule is an established pharmaceutical dosage form used worldwide in development and manufacturing. The empty hard capsules are supplied as an excipient that is filled by pharmaceutical manufacturers with a variety of different formulations and products. To understand the potential variations of the empty hard capsules as an input parameter and its potential impact on the finished product quality, a study was performed investigating the critical quality parameters within and in between different batches of empty hard gelatin capsules. The variability of the hard capsules showed high consistency within the specification of the critical quality parameters. This also accounts for the disintegration times, when automatic endpoint detection was used. Based on these data, hard capsules can be considered as a suitable excipient for product development using QbD principles.

LN18178 is a standardized, synergistic combination of fruit rind and seed extracts, which has been reported to increase serum testosterone levels in young and aging males. The present 84-day randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study assessed the efficacy of LN18178 on the sexual function of aging male volunteers (age: 40-70 years; serum total testosterone: ≥ 300 ng/dL). The subjects with mild to moderate erectile dysfunction [5-item version of the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) scores 17-25] and low sexual desire (score < 3 on items 11 and 12 of IIEF) participated in this investigation.

Various tips are available for phacoemulsification in cataract surgery. Evidence-based data can inform ophthalmologists, especially inexperienced ones, on tip selection. We retrospectively evaluated the energy efficiency and other parameters of two ultrasonic phacoemulsification and aspiration tips across different nuclear hardness grades in 342 cataract patients (342 eyes) with nuclear hardness grades II to IV.

Background: Laparoscopic anatomical liver resection has become more challenging because some subsegmental Glissonean pedicles are hard to dissect. Here, we introduce how to dissect every (sub) segmental Glissonean pedicle from the first porta hepatis and perform standardized (sub) segmentectomy [from segment 1 (S1) to S8].
Aim: To summarize our methods of laparoscopic anatomical segmental and subsegmental liver resection.
