Effects of bolus rheology on aspiration in patients with Dysphagia.

J. Acad. Nutr. Diet. 114(4) , 590-4, (2014)

Bolus manipulation is a primary treatment strategy in the management of oral-pharyngeal dysphagia. The use of thickening agents to alter bolus rheology is particularly commonplace; however, the precise effects of these alterations on swallowing remain uncerta...

Physico-chemical stability of astaxanthin nanodispersions prepared with polysaccharides as stabilizing agents.

Int. J. Food Sci. Nutr. 64(6) , 744-8, (2013)

The emulsification and stabilization ability of four selected polysaccharides, namely, gum Arabic, xanthan gum, pectin and methyl cellulose, in the preparation of water-dispersible astaxanthin nanoparticles using the emulsification-evaporation technique was i...

Investigations into the tensile failure of doubly-convex cylindrical tablets under diametral loading using finite element methodology.

Int. J. Pharm. 454(1) , 412-24, (2013)

In the literature various solutions exist for the calculation of the diametral compression tensile strength of doubly-convex tablets and each approach is based on experimental data obtained from single materials (gypsum, microcrystalline cellulose) only. The ...

Vanadium(V) and -(IV) complexes of anionic polysaccharides: Controlled release pharmaceutical formulations and models of vanadium biotransformation products.

J. Inorg. Biochem. 147 , 227-34, (2015)

Uncontrolled reactions in biological media are a main obstacle for clinical translation of V-based anti-diabetic or anti-cancer pro-drugs. We investigated the use of controlled-release pharmaceutical formulations to ameliorate this issue with a series of V(V)...

Formulation and in vitro assessment of sustained release terbutaline sulfate tablet made from binary hydrophilic polymer mixtures.

Pharm. Dev. Technol. 18(5) , 1204-12, (2013)

In the present systematic study, a sustained release of terbutaline sulfate tablet (TBS) was developed and optimized by employing the hydrophilic polymers; chitosan and xanthan gum mixed with sodium bicarbonate as a release modifying agent. This formulation w...

Bacterial polysaccharides suppress induced innate immunity by calcium chelation.

Curr. Biol. 18(14) , 1078-83, (2008)

Bacterial pathogens and symbionts must suppress or negate host innate immunity. However, pathogens release conserved oligomeric and polymeric molecules or MAMPs (Microbial Associated Molecular Patterns), which elicit host defenses [1], [2] and [3]. Extracellu...

Polysaccharide hydrogels for modified release formulations.

J. Control. Release 119(1) , 5-24, (2007)

Hydrogels are three-dimensional, hydrophilic, polymeric networks, with chemical or physical cross-links, capable of imbibing large amounts of water or biological fluids. Among the numerous macromolecules that can be used for hydrogel formation, polysaccharide...

Xanthan induces plant susceptibility by suppressing callose deposition.

Plant Physiol. 141(1) , 178-87, (2006)

Xanthan is the major exopolysaccharide secreted by Xanthomonas spp. Despite its diverse roles in bacterial pathogenesis of plants, little is known about the real implication of this molecule in Xanthomonas pathogenesis. In this study we show that in contrast ...

Microbial metabolism of transparent exopolymer particles during the summer months along a eutrophic estuary system.

Front. Microbiol. 6 , 403, (2015)

This study explores the role of transparent exopolymer particles (TEP) as an additional carbon source for heterotrophic microbial activity in the eutrophic Qishon estuary. From the coastal station and upstream the estuary; TEP concentrations, β-glucosidase ac...

Dinitrogen fixation in aphotic oxygenated marine environments.

Front. Microbiol. 4 , 227, (2013)

We measured N2 fixation rates from oceanic zones that have traditionally been ignored as sources of biological N2 fixation; the aphotic, fully oxygenated, nitrate (NO(-) 3)-rich, waters of the oligotrophic Levantine Basin (LB) and the Gulf of Aqaba (GA). N2 f...
