Randomized Controlled Trials in Evidence-Based Dentistry


Free Download Randomized Controlled Trials in Evidence-Based Dentistry by Richie Kohli, Harjit S. Sehgal, Peter Milgrom
English | April 17, 2024 | ISBN: 3031476506 | 285 pages | MOBI | 2.28 Mb
This book reviews the role of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in clinical dentistry, explains how to successfully conduct RCTs related to dentistry, and provides detailed information on the use of RCTs within each of the dental specialties. Although RCTs represent the gold standard in evidence-based dentistry for evaluation of the effects of an intervention, a textbook on the subject has to date been lacking. Randomized Controlled Trials in Evidence-Based Dentistry will fill this educational gap and improve the confidence of dental providers, researchers, and their multidisciplinary teams in conducting high-quality RCTs in a variety of settings and different parts of the world. In particular, it will enable readers to implement a suitable step-by-step approach to RCTs, identify possible solutions to common challenges when performing RCTs in individual dental specialties, and apply these solutions to their own RCT projects.

Novel Carrier Systems for Targeted and Controlled Drug Delivery


Free Download Novel Carrier Systems for Targeted and Controlled Drug Delivery
English | 2024 | ISBN: 9819749697 | 538 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 42 MB
The book presents novel carrier systems for the targeted and controlled drug delivery for the treatment of various diseases which are difficult to be treated with conventional drug delivery systems like cancer, autoimmune disorders, and emerging infectious diseases. It also reviews the origins and applications of stimuli-responsive polymer systems and polymer therapeutics such as polymer-protein and polymer-drug conjugates. The book also explores the potential applications of the parenteral route of administration for the delivery of active pharmaceutical substances with a narrow therapeutic index and poor bioavailability. Further, the book presents common routes of administration for the systemic delivery of peptides and proteins. It also examines the applications of various implantable systems in drug delivery. The book also covers the important colloidal drug delivery systems, including liposomes and niosomes and solid lipid nanoparticles, and nanostructured lipid carriers. Towards,the end, the book discusses the therapeutic potential of biodegradable polymeric nanoparticles for controlled drug delivery. Authoritative and thorough, this book is a valuable resource for researchers working on a multidisciplinary approach to employing drug delivery systems.

Controlled Experiments

English | ISBN: 1009348930 | 2024 | 75 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Control is a key ingredient of scientific experimentation; arguably, an uncontrolled intervention or manipulation is not even a genuine experiment. Experiments in the life sciences, however, are notoriously difficult to control due to the complexity and variability of living things. This Element discusses general features of controlled experimentation, epistemic and practical aspects, and historical perspectives. It argues that controlled experimentation has a material-technical and a conceptual side. It shifts the focus from control experiments, comparisons with a control, to the broader issue of controlling for background factors as the epistemologically fundamental issue in experimentation. To understand the nature of controlled experimentation, one needs to consider the making – the design phase – of controlled experiments, particularly the conceptualization and treatment of background factors. The making of controlled experiments is at the same time constitutive for the knowledge that can be gained in the experiment, contingent on a research situation, and historically shaped.

Localized MicroNanocarriers for Programmed and On-Demand Controlled Drug Release


Free Download Localized Micro/Nanocarriers for Programmed and On-Demand Controlled Drug Release by Seyed Morteza Naghib, Samin Hoseinpour, Shadi Zarshad
English | September 30, 2022 | ISBN: 9815051644 | 265 pages | MOBI | 2.36 Mb
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the localized drug delivery system landscape. The 10 chapters provide a detailed introduction in polymers, nanostructures and nanocomposites for developing localized controlled drug delivery systems (LCDDSs) in the form of stimuli-responsive delivery systems, targeted drug delivery systems or the combination of both. A discussion on manufacturing techniques, optimization, challenges and adaptation of LCDDSs for the treatment of a wide range of diseases is also included.

Controlled Rel Pesticides Formulations (2024)


Free Download Nathan F. Cardarelli, "Controlled Rel Pesticides Formulations"
English | 2018 | ISBN: 0849351146, 1315891786, 0878190805 | PDF | pages: 219 | 50.5 mb
The main goal of this book is to present a summary of the state of the art historical background. Conventional chemical pest control methods are mentioned only as a means of comparison to controlled release. Research endeavour with biological weapons, potential usage of such controls, and the few instances of success are likewise brought into focus with the same motive. Formulations and methods or preparing controlled release pesticides are discussed in some detail as concerns the antifouling and molluscicide areas, where the compounding methodology has been well developed. The mathematical basis of controlled release has been developed to an extent and is presented in an abbreviated form.
