Methomyl, methyl N-[[(methylamino)carbonyl]oxy]ethanimidothioate is a carbamate insecticide with anticholinesterase activity. As a broad spectrum insecticide, it is one of the most frequently used pesticides in tangerine orchards in Thailand. Although methomyl is said to be rapidly eliminated from experimental animals (1) high incidence of acute poisonings was reported among patients occupationally exposed to a powder formulation of methomyl (2, 3). In this passive dosimetry study of tangerine growers, during mixing and overhead spraying of a 90% powder formulation of methomyl, ocular and nasal exposure was measured. Exposure data are discussed in terms of the "potentially absorbed" or "internal dose".

Optimizing hydrophilic drug incorporation into SEDDS using dry reverse micelles: a comparative study of preparation methods.
Drug Deliv Transl Res

Thiomatrix Forschungs- und Beratungs GmbH, Trientlgasse 65, 6020, Innsbruck, Austria.
Aim: It was the aim of this study to compare two different dry reverse micelle (RM) preparation methods for the incorporation of hydrophilic drugs into oral self-emulsifying drug delivery systems (SEDDS).
Methods: Cationic ethacridine lactate, anionic fluorescein sodium salt and the antibiotic peptide bacitracin were solubilized in RM containing sodium docusate, soy phosphatidylcholine and sorbitan monooleate in highly lipophilic oils such as squalane. In the dry addition (DA) method, drugs were directly added to empty RM in their powder form.
Development of CPAP Overlay Interfaces for Efficient Administration of Aerosol Surfactant Therapy to Preterm Infants.

The administration of surfactant aerosol therapy to preterm infants receiving continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) respiratory support is highly challenging due to small flow passages, relatively high ventilation flow rates, rapid breathing and small inhalation volumes. To overcome these challenges, the objective of this study was to implement a validated computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model and develop an overlay nasal prong interface design for use with CPAP respiratory support that enables high efficiency powder aerosol delivery to the lungs of preterm infants when needed (i.e.

In the present study, a norfloxacin (NFX) fluorescent probe was tailored for the spectrofluorometric measurement of cefepime (CFP). The proposed approach measured the quenching effect of CFP on the fluorescence intensity of NFX in acetate buffer solution. The obtained results show that CFP strongly quenches the fluorescence of NFX in a static mechanism.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a debilitating, incurable, and life-threatening disease that lacks effective therapy. The overexpression of phosphodiesterase 10A (PDE10A) plays a vital role in pulmonary fibrosis (PF). However, the impact of selective PDE10A inhibitors on the tumor growth factor-β (TGF-β)/small mother against decapentaplegic (Smad) signaling pathway remains unclear.
