Ketoprofen Associated with Hyaluronic Acid Hydrogel for Temporomandibular Disorder Treatment: An In Vitro Study.

Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are a public health problem that affects around 12% of the global population. The treatment is based on analgesics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory, corticosteroids, anticonvulsants, or arthrocentesis associated with hyaluronic acid-based viscosupplementation. However, the use of hyaluronic acid alone in viscosupplementation does not seem to be enough to regulate the intra-articular inflammatory process.

Cotton-Like Three-Dimensional SbOCl Structures: Synthesis and Ammonium Hydroxide Sensing.

Nanostructured materials have emerged as valuable tools for the advancement of novel electrocatalysts. Among them, three-dimensional metal oxides have gained significant attention due to their excellent conductivity, cost-effectiveness, and unique design. This study focuses on the synthesis of cotton-like three-dimensional antimony oxychloride (SbOCl) structures through a straightforward precipitation method.

Lead detection using micro/nanocrystalline boron-doped diamond by square-wave anodic stripping voltammetry.

Monitoring heavy metal ion levels in water is essential for human health and safety. Electroanalytical techniques have presented important features to detect toxic trace heavy metals in the environment due to their high sensitivity associated with their easy operational procedures. Square-wave voltammetry is a powerful electrochemical technique that may be applied to both electrokinetic and analytical measurements, and the analysis of the characteristic parameters of this technique also enables the mechanism and kinetic evaluation of the electrochemical process under study.
