Dissolvable microarray patches (MAP) represent a promising drug delivery platform; however, the absence of standardised protocols for their preclinical evaluation poses a significant barrier to regulatory approval and clinical translation. Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modelling is a powerful tool for predicting drug kinetics following MAP application, addressing key challenges associated with in vitro and in vi...

The effects of global warming are most pronounced at high latitudes and are a threat to primary productivity patterns and, in particular, to sea ice algae. Here, we investigated the importance of ice algae in the diet of megabenthic organisms belonging to several feeding guilds across several locations in the Canadian Arctic characterised by different sea ice conditions using two biochemical approaches i.e., stable isotope and...

Purpose The primary aim of this study was to investigate the effect of including the Dutch National Pharmacotherapy Assessment (DNPA) in the medical curriculum on the level and development of prescribing knowledge and skills of junior doctors. The secondary aim was to evaluate the relationship between the curriculum type and the prescribing competence of junior doctors. Methods We re-analysed the data of a longitudinal study c...

One of the most common causes of needing care in old age is dementia. In order to enjoy a pleasant retirement for people with dementia, it is essential for them to maintain their independence. Studies have shown that a combination of physical activity and music has positive effects on dementia patients. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the feasibility of implementing a multidimensional music-based exercise program fo...
