High-pressure homogenization is a widely used and acknowledged method to reduce the particle sizes of active pharmaceutical compounds into nanosized range. Thus, the method is associated with limitations, as the compound's initial particle size, since micronized particles are often prerequired to achieve successful size reduction into nanosized range. In this work, the usage of ultrasound as a potential milling or pre-milling technique to decrease particle sizes of different drug compounds varying in deformation properties into micronized range, was investigated.

Triboelectric separation, a solvent-free method, was investigated as a tool for protein enrichment in wheat flour. Gluten-starch model mixtures, flour, and reground flour fractions were evaluated for their separation characteristics (selectivity and efficiency). Mass yield, protein content, particle size distribution, and SEM analysis were used to assess performance.

Potential of Powder Rheology for Detecting Unforeseen Cross-Contamination of Foreign Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients.

Unexpected cross-contamination by foreign components during the manufacturing and quality control of pharmaceutical products poses a serious threat to the stable supply of drugs and the safety of customers. In Japan, in 2020, a mix-up containing a sleeping drug went undetected by liquid chromatography during the final quality test because the test focused only on the main active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and known impurities. In this study, we assessed the ability of a powder rheometer to analyze powder characteristics in detail to determine whether it can detect the influence of foreign APIs on powder flow.

Article Synopsis
  • A study explored the effectiveness of a pre-milling technique in unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) to improve posterior tibial cut thickness and reduce the need for recuts.
  • The research included 213 knees in a conventional surgery group and 198 knees in a pre-milling group, comparing bone cut thickness and rates of tibial recuts.
  • Results showed that the pre-milling technique led to increased bone cut thickness in small and medium femoral components and significantly reduced the rate of tibial recuts compared to the conventional method.
