The stabilizer composition includes a component (B), which is a polymeric sterically hindered amine, and a component (C), which is a specific sterically hindered phenol.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a stabilizer composition containing at least one sterically hindered amine (HALS) in which the amino group carries a basicity-reducing substituent, at least one antioxidant containing one or more thioether groups and at least one liquid plasticizer containing carboxylate groups.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for healthcare quality measurement. A user interaction module receives a first unstructured quality indicator from a first healthcare quality delivery system. A natural language processing engine, including a quality indicator framework and a library parses the unstructured quality indicator to identify key words and relationships therebetween. A structured quality indicator generator generates suggested structured quality indicators from unstructured quality indicators. The suggested structured quality indicators are standardized according to a predetermined standard A quality measure engine generates a query corresponding to a selected one of the structured quality indicators. A data repository outputs data from executing the query thereon. A quality measure dashboard outputs the result data.

Abstract: The present invention describes polymer nanoparticles with a cationic surface potential, in which both hydrophobic and hydrophilic pharmaceutically active substances can be encapsulated. The hydrophilic and thus water-soluble substances are encapsulated in the particle core by co-precipitation through ionic complexing with a charged polymer. Both therapeutic agents and diagnostic agents can be used as pharmaceutically active substances for encapsulation. The cationic particle surface permits stable, electrostatic surface modification with partially oppositely charged compounds, which can contain target-specific ligands for improving passive and active targeting.
