  • Publication number: 20240081941
    Abstract: Ultrasound imaging is a non-invasive, non-radioactive, and low cost technology for diagnosis and identification of implantable medical devices in real time. Developing new ultrasound activated coatings is important to broaden the utility of in vivo marking by ultrasound imaging. Ultrasound responsive macro-phase segregated micro-composite thin films were developed to be coated on medical devices composed of multiple materials and with multiple shapes and varying surface area. The macro-phase segregated films having silica micro-shells in polycyanoacrylate produces strong color Doppler signals with the use of a standard clinical ultrasound transducer. Electron microscopy showed a macro-phase separation during slow curing of the cyanoacrylate adhesive, as air-filled silica micro-shells were driven to the surface of the film. The air sealed in the hollow space of the silica shells acted as an ultrasound contrast agent and echo decorrelation of air exposed to ultrasound waves produces color Doppler signals.

  • Publication number: 20220233649
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a dosage forms and combinations of dosage forms useful for effective oral administration of drugs which are otherwise unsuitable for oral administration, owing to acid- and/or protease-mediated degradation. The dosage forms include a self-microemulsifying drug delivery system (SMEDDS) with which the drug is combined and an antacid. When co-administered to a mammal, the dosage form(s) can prevent drug degradation by the strong acid and digestive enzymes normally present in the gastric environment, and can improve water-soluble drug absorption in gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The dosage forms can be used to effectively administer insulin by an oral route, for example, such as in the form of a powder that can be stored for long periods and reconstituted with water or another fluid shortly before administration.
