Chronotherapeutic Drug Delivery of Pectin Vs. Guar Gum, Xanthan Gum Controlled Release Colon Targeted Directly Compressed Propranolol Hcl Matrix Tablets

The study has been designed to develop a delayed release matrix tablets by
 using various natural polymers. The polsaccharide Pectin was used in the
 formulation Vs. Xanthan gum and Guar gum. The performance of Pectin
 Vs. other conventional polysaccharides was demonstrated in this work. A
 model drug Propranolol HCl was incorporated in the formulation design in
 order to access the drug release profile.

'Super-Innervation' of a Free Latissimus Dorsi Flap in Facial Reanimation: A Novel Strategy for Supplementing Muscle Innervation

The gold-standard for facial reanimation in facial palsy involves a first stage crossed facial nerve graft and a second stage free muscle flap transfer, with a single neurorrhaphy of the muscle flap nerve to the nerve graft. The timing of the second stage is usually 6 months after the first stage, which is undertaken once there is a positive Tinnel's sign.
