  • Publication number: 20170304209
    Abstract: Controlled release and taste masking compositions containing one or more active principles inglobated in a three-component matrix structure, i.e. a structure formed by successive amphiphilic, lipophilic or inert matrices and finally inglobated or dispersed in hydrophilic matrices. The use of a plurality of systems for the control of the dissolution of the active ingredient modulates the dissolution rate of the active ingredient in aqueous and/or biological fluids, thereby controlling the release kinetics in the gastrointestinal tract.

  • Patent number: 9320716
    Abstract: The invention relates to an oral pharmaceutical composition comprising an active agent, a macroscopically homogeneous structure and a gastro-resistant coating. The macroscopically homogeneous structure comprises at least one hydrophilic compound and at least one lipophilic compound and/or at least one amphiphilic compound. The macroscopically homogeneous structure controls the release of the active ingredient, and the gastro-resistant film prevents release of the active agent in the stomach.

  • Publication number: 20150030995
    Abstract: The method includes the steps of: a) providing a surgical template (10) having a bushing (12) positioned and orientated so as to define the axis of the hole, the bushing (12) being adapted to receive drill guide sleeves with which drills of progressively increasing diameter are to be guided for the making of the hole; b) performing a CT scan of the portion of the patient's cranium in which the hole is to be made, with the surgical template (10) positioned thereon; c) removing the surgical template (10) from the patient's mouth; d) performing a CT scan on the surgical template (10) only; and e) generating, from the CT scan obtained in steps b) and d), a three-dimensional model of the aforesaid portion of the patient's cranium, in which the surgical template (10), and therefore the axis of the aforesaid hole, are placed in the same position as that in which they were placed in step b).
