Preparation and Characterisation of Phenytoin-Loaded Alginate and Alginate-Chitosan Microparticles [PDF]
We aimed to prepare and investigate microparticles with the varying contents of calcium gelling ion, loaded with phenytoin, a standard antiepileptic agent, in its acidic form. Two different methods of alginate-based microparticles preparation were used: with and without treatment with chitosan.

The Regulation of Trace Metal Elements in Cancer Ferroptosis
The induction of ferroptosis inhibits tumor growth, enhances anticancer efficacy, and overcomes drug resistance. Recent evidence shows nonferrous metal elements play a role in ferroptosis. This review focuses on how trace metals regulate ferroptosis processes like iron accumulation, lipid peroxidation, and antioxidant defense.

Is it always Laryngopharyngeal Reflux? How Voice Disorders Can Manifest as LPR
Introduction. Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) manifests with a constellation of common throat symptoms and inconclusive signs on laryngoscopic exam. It is a diagnosis, often made clinically, that can lead to prescriptions of proton pump inhibitors that ...

Thermodynamic Properties of $^{56,57}$Fe [PDF]
Nuclear level densities for $^{56,57}$Fe have been extracted from the primary $\gamma$-ray spectra using ($^3$He,$^3$He$^{\prime}\gamma$) and ($^3$He,$\alpha \gamma$) reactions. Nuclear thermodynamic properties for $^{56}$Fe and $^{57}$Fe are investigated using the experimental level densities.

Investigation of the biosynthesis of exopolysaccharides within the biofilm matrix of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiea : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Microbiology and Genetics at Massey University, Manawatu, New Zealand [PDF]
Polysaccharides are highly abundant natural biopolymers, which have biologically significant structural functions in living organisms. Various polysaccharides, with specific physicochemical properties, contribute to biofilm formation; defined as cell ...

Nitric oxide-releasing alginates as mucolytic agents.
The excessive production of thick, viscous mucus in severe respiratory diseases leads to obstruction of the airways and provides a suitable environment for the colonization of pathogenic bacteria.

Bose Einstein condensation in a gas of the Fibonacci oscillators [PDF]
We consider a system of the two-parameter deformed boson oscillators whose spectrum is given by a generalized Fibonacci sequence. In order to obtain the role of the deformation parameters (q1,q2) on the thermostatistics of the system, we calculate several thermostatistical functions in the thermodynamical limit and investigate the low-temperature ...
