Biometrology guidelines for the in vivo assessment of skin surface pH in nonclinical settings
(Springer, 2017)Skin surface pH plays an important role in the maintenance of skin barrier integrity and epidermal homeostasis. In workplace environments, myriad exposures may alter the skin surface pH and influence development of skin ... -
Breaching the skin barrier through temperature modulations
(Elsevier, 2015)The impermeability of the stratum corneum often hinders the transport of molecules across the skin. Temperature modulations in the skin and the application of local heat both have the potential of circumventing this problem ... -
Effect of Brij 97 in the presence and absence of carrageenan on the transdermal delivery of 5-Fluorouracil
(North-West University, 2006)The skin is the largest and most easily accessible organ of the human body thus making it the ideal route for systemic drug delivery. The transdermal route of drug delivery offers several advantages compared to the ... -
Formulation and topical delivery of liposomes and proliposomes containing clofazimine
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2016)The continual market increase in the transdermal and topical delivery of drugs makes cutaneous drug delivery exploration all the more attractive for scientists (Larraῆeta et al., 2016:62). The key in the delivery of drugs ... -
Percutaneous delivery of methotrexate in the absence and presence of natural permeation enhancers
(North-West University, 2003)The transdermal delivery of drugs has a lot of advantages above other routes of delivery, such as the avoidance of first-pass hepatic and intestinal metabolism, the non-invasive infusion of drugs, etc. However, the ... -
The transdermal absorption of 5-Fluorouracil in the presence and absence of terpenes
(North-West University, 2003)The skin is an amazingly resilient and relatively impermeable barrier that provides protective, perceptive and communication functions to the body (Ramachandran & Fleisher, 2000). The stratum corneum is widely accepted ...
