Spray-Dried Proliposome Microparticles for High-Performance Aerosol Delivery Using a Monodose Powder Inhaler by Omer, H.

“…X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) revealed an interaction between the components of the proliposome particles, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that mannitol-based proliposomes were uniformly sized and spherical, whilst LMH-based proliposomes were irregular and relatively large. Using a two-stage impinger (TSI), fine particle fraction (FPF) values of the proliposomes were higher for mannitol-based formulations, reaching 52.6%, which was attributed to the better flow properties when mannitol was used as carrier. …”

A Modification to Enhance the Survival of the Island FDMA Flap by Adding a Skin Bridge by Al Lahham, Salim

“…We combined Foucher and Holevich characteristics to design a flap that promises to solve the problem. Methods: This is a case series that includes 9 patients where we describe a technique that has the potential to enhance the survival of the first dorsal metacarpal artery (FDMA) flap and decreases the rate of distal necrosis via addition of a 5-mm skin bridge to the pedicle and by avoiding tunneling. …”
