  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. Development of a Tool for Imaging the Pumping-Out Behavior of Poly- Vinyl Alcohol Shelled Microbubbles

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Stina Hägglund; [2020]
    Keywords : Microbubbles; Pumping-out behavior; Verasonics; Ultrasound; Ultrafast imaging;

    Abstract : For many years, microbubbles have been used as ultrasound contrast agents to improve the quality of diagnostics, seeing that they produce more backscattering ultrasound than blood does. Novel types of microbubbles and increased knowledge about their different behaviors have led to other suggested areas of use. READ MORE

  5. 4. Construction and evaluation of plasma protein multilayers used for local drug delivery

    University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Sandberg Olof; [2010]
    Keywords : fibrinogen; albumin; IgG; bisphosphonate; antibiotic; local drug delivery;

    Abstract : With the studies performed in this theses the local drug delivery technique FibMat developed by the biotech company AddBIO, was shown to be applicable to other plasma proteins and drugs than the fibrinogen-bisphosphonate combination that is today being commercialized. Hence the potential for a broader field of application was demonstrated. READ MORE

  6. 5. Local Delivery of Bisphosphonates from FibMat Matrix

    University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi
