The Use of Transdermal Estrogen in Castrate-resistant, Steroid-refractory Prostate Cancer.

Clinical genitourinary cancer
BACKGROUND: Androgen-deprivation therapy is the mainstay of treatment for metastatic prostate cancer. Corticosteroids and estrogens are also useful agents in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). However, oral estrogens are associated with thr...

A novel curvature-controllable steerable needle for percutaneous intervention.

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Part H, Journal of engineering in medicine
Over the last few decades, flexible steerable robotic needles for percutaneous intervention have been the subject of significant interest. However, there still remain issues related to (a) steering the needle's direction with less damage to surroundi...

Support vector regression to estimate the permeability enhancement of potential transdermal enhancers.

The Journal of pharmacy and pharmacology
OBJECTIVES: Searching for chemicals that will safely enhance transdermal drug delivery is a significant challenge. This study applies support vector regression (SVR) for the first time to estimating the optimal formulation design of transdermal hydro...

Hydrophilic Ionic Liquids as Ingredients of Gel-Based Dermal Formulations.

AAPS PharmSciTech
Ionic liquids (ILs) have several properties that offer many advantages in dermal drug delivery systems. Depending on the chemical structure, ILs can be used for protection against microorganisms, to enhance skin penetration, and as a solvent. In the ...

Optimizing Neuroprotective Nano-structured Lipid Carriers for Transdermal Delivery through Artificial Neural Network.

Pharmaceutical nanotechnology
BACKGROUND: Dementia associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurological disorder. AD is a progressive neurodegenerative condition that predominantly impacts the elderly population, although it can also manifest in younger people through the i...

Artificial intelligence model substantially improves stratum corneum moisture content prediction from visible-light skin images and skin feature factors.

Skin research and technology : official journal of International Society for Bioengineering and the Skin (ISBS) [and] International Society for Digital Imaging of Skin (ISDIS) [and] International Society for Skin Imaging (ISSI)
BACKGROUND: Appropriate skin treatment and care warrants an accurate prediction of skin moisture. However, current diagnostic tools are costly and time-consuming. Stratum corneum moisture content has been measured with moisture content meters or from...

Body-Mounted MRI-Conditional Parallel Robot for Percutaneous Interventions Structural Improvement, Calibration, and Accuracy Analysis.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
To assist in percutaneous interventions in the lower back under magnetic resonance imaging guidance, a 4 degree-of-freedom body-mounted parallel robot is developed. The robot structure is improved comparatively to a previously developed robot, to inc...

Closed loop control of a robot assisted smart flexible needle for percutaneous intervention.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
This paper presents the experimental evaluation of a coordinated control system for a robot and robot-driven shape memory alloy (SMA) actuated smart flexible needle capable of following a curved path for percutaneous intervention. The robot driving t...

DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION OF THE HIGH PERFORMANCE LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY METHOD FOR THE QUANTITATIVE DETERMINATION OF ERYTHROMYCIN IN DERMO-PREPARATIONS.

Revista medico-chirurgicala a Societatii de Medici si Naturalisti din Iasi
PURPOSE: For the analysis of erythromycin (ER) in topical pharmaceutical forms we developed a high performance liquid chromatography dosage method (HPLC) greatly improved over the method formalized by the European Pharmacopoeia 5th ed.
