1. 1. DRY POWDER FOR INHALATION - INFLUENCE OF MIXING PROCESS AND ADDITION OF MAGNESIUM STEARATE

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)

   Author : Love Ivarsson; [2023]
   Keywords : inhalation; drug delivery; pulmonary drug delivery; API; FPF; FPD; DD; Turbula; Diosna; mixing energy; mixing time; mixing speed; pharmaceutical technology; Medicine and Health Sciences;

   Abstract : For efficient treatment of many diseases of the lung, it is beneficial to deliver the medicine to the respiratory tract directly. This ensures a rapid response since it can enter the bloodstream directly through the alveolar epithelium. Consequently, also decreases systemic effects due to the local treatment. READ MORE

3. 2. The impact of addition of force control agent in adhesive mixtures : Effect of magnesium stearates on flowability and aerosolization properties

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för farmaceutisk biovetenskap

   Author : Moa Erlandsson; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : When drugs need to be delivered to the respiratory system dry powder inhalers (DPIs) are often used. The powders in DPIs often consists of a micronized active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) that is adhered to a larger carrier particle forming an adhesive mixture. READ MORE

4. 3. The effect of lactose fines, magnesium stearate, choice of mixer and mixing process on the performance of adhesive mixtures for inhalation

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)

   Author : Gabriela Ponce Aparicio; [2023]
   Keywords : High shear mixing; low shear mixing; lactose fines; coating agent; budesonide; mixing energy; dry powder inhaler; carrier-based formulations; mixing time; adhesive mixtures; pharmaceutical technology; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Dry powder inhaler (DPI) formulation is a major area of interest since they are employed by the healthcare system to treat relevant chronic diseases like asthma. Previous research has established that the manufacturing process and formulation composition are key for the active pharmaceutical ingredient to reach the lungs and achieve therapeutic effects.

5. 4. Investigation of mixing time and relative concentration effects in adhesive mixtures for drug inhalation

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Ergonomi och aerosolteknologi

   Author : Simon Åslund; [2015]
   Keywords : Aerosol Drug Inhalation Adhesive mixtures Next Generation Impactor Laser diffraction; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : A common approach to treat respiratory diseases is with adhesive powder mixtures. These are dispersed into an aerosol upon inhalation. It has been found that the performance of such mixtures can be improved by adding fine particle lactose, but exactly why is yet to be established. READ MORE

6. 5. Analysis of the Benefit of Quantification in Myocardial Perfusion Imaging A human observer ROC evaluation using Monte Carlo Simulated Data

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Sjukhusfysikerutbildningen

   Author : Yassin Rouwaida; [2005]
   Keywords : Nukleärmedicin; Medicine and Health Sciences;

   Abstract : "The purpose of this study was to evaluate the benefit of commercial quantification software in perfusion SPECT imaging by simulating a group of patients and their corresponding SPECT acquisitions using a computer phantom and a Monte Carlo program. Based on decisions from experienced physicians and their visual interpretation of the simulated patient images, without and with addition of the information from the quantitative perfusion software, the benefit of such a quantification program was evaluated from a ROC analysis.
