Article Abstract

The specifications of excipients are important to pharmaceutical manufacturers to ensure that the final product can be manufactured robustly over the entire lifecycle of a drug product. Particle size specifications are key for dry powder inhalation excipients and they should be agreed between users and suppliers. The current paper evaluates two development strategies to set particle size specifications. It is shown that the application of quality-by-design principles to specification setting could result in broader specifications, while it guarantees that efficacy, safety and manufacturing of the medication is not affected. A multitude of reasons exist to keep specifications broader than the production capability range, including improved risk-mitigation and potentially reduced regulatory challenges during and after registration.

Objectives: The risk of major venous thromboembolism (VTE) among patients with COVID-19 is high but varies with disease severity. Estimate the incidence of lower extremity deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in critically ill hospitalized patients with COVID-19, validate the Wells score for DVT diagnosis, and determine patients' prognosis.

Methods: This was an observational follow-up study in the context of the diagnosis and prognosis of DVT.

Unlabelled: Autoimmune haemolytic anaemia (AIHA) is caused by antibody-mediated destruction of red blood cells. There are two broad categories of AIHA: warm and cold, both categorized by the thermal reactivity of the autoantibodies. Cold agglutinin disease (CAD) occurs at temperatures below normal body temperature and primarily involves IgM antibodies.

Background: Nutrition underpins athletic performance, enhancing training, reducing injury risk, and accelerating recovery. In the event of an injury, performance dietitians (PDs) and nutritionists' (PNs) play a vital role by tailoring nutritional strategies to support tissue repair, optimize athlete's recoveries, and return to play.

Objectives: This study explored nutritional strategies recommended and employed by Irish PDs and PNs to assess, manage, and support athletes during the initial stages of sports-related injuries.

Introduction: Spinal cord injury (SCI) presents a significant burden to patients, families, and the healthcare system. The ability to accurately predict functional outcomes for SCI patients is essential for optimizing rehabilitation strategies, guiding patient and family decision making, and improving patient care.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 589 SCI patients admitted to a single acute rehabilitation facility and used the dataset to train advanced machine learning algorithms to predict patients' rehabilitation outcomes.
