Biodegradable polyesters are a popular choice for both packaging and medical device manufacture owing to their ability break down into harmless components once they have completed function. However, commonly used such as poly(hydroxybutyrate) (PHB), poly(lactic acid) (PLA), polycaprolactone (PCL), while readily available relatively low price compared other biodegradable polyesters, do not meet the degradation profiles required many applications. As such, this study aimed determine if...
Background: There are few data on the efficacy of oral antibiotics in initial empirical management severe forms urinary tract infection (UTI).Methods: In a multicenter, prospective, randomized trial we compared (500 mg twice daily) vs intravenous ciprofloxacin (200 hospitalized patients with serious UTI.Exclusion criteria were sepsis, inability to take medication, or presence obstruction renal foci suppuration.The study population included 66 women pyelonephritis, 43 community-acquired UTIs,...
Abstract Blends of poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) (70/30 wt%) were prepared, and the effects multiple mechanical recycling up to 5 times on rheology–morphology relationships, thermal, properties investigated. Rheological morphological investigations indicated a degree immiscibility two combined polymers. Notably, served improve interfacial interaction phases through limited transesterification reactions increased homogeneous morphologies. While there was significant...
Previous studies involving poly N-vinylcaprolactam (PNVCL) and itaconic acid (IA) have synthesised the hydrogels with presence of a solvent crosslinker, producing chemically crosslinked hydrogel systems. In this study, however, temperature sensitive PNVCL was physically pH-sensitive comonomer IA through ultraviolet (UV) free-radical polymerization, without solvent, to produce dual sensitivity. The attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy indicated...
ABSTRACT Thermally stimulated depolarization current is applied to study the dielectric relaxations coexisting from 80 380 K in PLLA/starch, immiscible biodegradable blend system. The relaxation parameters are determined for chain mobilities at different ranges, whether amorphous or cold‐crystallized state PLLA, and totally one starch as demonstrated by wide‐angle X‐ray scattering experiments. PLLA crystallization favored presence of starch, both crystallinity degree reached time. effect...
Micro-injection moulding (µIM) was used for the production of enteric tablets plasticised and unplasticised solid dispersions poly(vinylpyrrolidone-vinyl acetate) (PVPVA), effect mechanical thermal treatment on properties investigated. The physical state systems showed to be unaltered by µIM step, maintaining drug in amorphous state. dissolution profile a slower rate due lower surface volume ratio compared extruded strands. lack solubility doses acidic medium as consequence acidity...
