Erg11-Mediated Azole Resistance In Candida Albicans, Stephanie Ann Flowers Dec 2013

Erg11-Mediated Azole Resistance In Candida Albicans, Stephanie Ann Flowers

Theses and Dissertations (ETD)

Although many medically important Candida species are commensal to the gut or colonizers of the skin, these organisms have the propensity to cause disease in the event of a waning immune system. Clinical manifestations of infections with Candida species can range from superficial mucosal infections to deep organ involvement usually resulting from haematogenous spread of infection. Despite significant progress made in the management of patients with fungal infections, the emergence of antifungal resistant clinical isolates creates significant problem in regards to antifungal prophylaxis and empirical treatment strategies. Antifungal resistance is associated with high mortality rates and hefty medical costs. The …

A Series Of Pharmaceutical Technology Concepts Applied To Pediatric Formulations, Hao Lou

Theses and Dissertations (ETD)

Pediatric formulations have received great attention from regulatory agencies in the United States and Europe. Since solid dosage forms such as tablets and capsules will not be able to improve pediatric patients’ compliance, customized pediatric formulations are needed. In response, formulators in the pharmaceutical industry have made significant effort into developing various pediatric formulations. However, developing satisfactory pediatric formulations is a process that is guided by case by case basis. The objective of this current study was to apply the scientific pharmaceutical technology concepts into developing modern pediatric formulations. We have shown that the drug delivery design will be affected …
