Pigmentary Pattern

Nicolau syndrome (NS) is a rare complication characterized by tissue necrosis that occurs after parenteral injection of drugs. The exact pathogenesis is uncertain, but there are several hypotheses, including direct damage to the end artery, acute vasospasm and cytotoxic effects of the drug. Severe pain in the immediate post injection period and purplish discoloration of the skin with reticulate pigmentary pattern is characteristic of this syndrome. Diagnosis is mainly clinical and there is no standard treatment for the disease. Herein, we present a rare case of NS due to Diclofenac Sodium (Voltaren®) injection in an 80-year-old female suffering from Lower Respiratory Tract Infection (LRTI) who was managed conservatively.

Induction Of Anaesthesia

This prospective clinical study was carried out in the Dept. of Anaesthesia, Analgesia and Intensive Care Medicine, BSMMU, Dhaka, during the period of May 2003 to July 2003. The study was done to emphasize the importance of giving analgesics preemptively instead of waiting for the child to complain of pain and to produce smooth recovery after surgery by decreasing immediate postoperative pain in children by a simple, safe acceptable drug. The children scheduled for tonsillectomy under general anaesthesia were recruited in this study. The analgesic efficiency of rectal paracetamol in two doses, 25 mg/kg bodywt.(Gr-P25) and 50 mg/kg. bodywt. (Gr-P50) were compared with Diclofenac Sodium suppository 1mg/ kg body weight (Gr-D) given half an hour before induction of anaesthesia. Pain scoring was done by TPPPS (Toddler Pre-schooler postoperative pain scale). Heart rate and blood pressure were stable in Gr-P50 and Gr-D. Time of first demand of analgesic was delayed in Gr-P50 and Gr-D. Total paracetamol consumption in 24 hours was less in Gr-P50(181±14.25) and Gr-D (212±25) than Gr-P25(318± 26.39). Total duration of analgesia in Gr- P50 (657±9.94) mins. and in Gr- D(502±10.63) mins. and in Gr-P25(288±23.17) mins. Pre-emptive high dose rectal paracetamol appears to be more effective than diclofenac sodium suppository for postoperative analgesia in children undergoing tonsillectomy.

Sustained released tablets of diclofenac sodium (DIC) and tizanidine hydrochloride (TIZ) were prepared by using different proportions of cellulose acetate (CA) as the retardant material. Nine formulations of tablets having different proportion of microparticles developed by varied proportions of polymer: drug ratio ‘’i.e.’’; 1:9 -1:3 for DIC and 1:1 – 3:1 for TIZ. Each tablet contained equivalent to 100 mg of DIC and 6mg of TIZ. The prepared microparticles were white, free flowing and spherical in shape (SEM study), with  the particle size varying from 78.8±1.94 to 103.33±1.28 µm and 175.92± 9.82 to 194.94±14.28µm for DIC  and TIZ, respectively.  The first order rate constant K1 of formulations were found to be in the range of  K1 = 0.117-0.272 and 0.083- 0.189 %hr-1for DIC and TIZ, respectively. The value of exponent coefficient (n) was found to be in the range of 0.6328-0.9412  and 0.8589-1.1954 for DIC and TIZ respectively indicates anomalous  to  non anomalous transport type of diffusions among different formulations

Background: In the previous study, investigators have synthesized acrylamide grafted and carboxymethylated derivatives of neem gum and evaluated their potential in the formulation of nanoparticles. In continuation of previous work, authors have evaluated neem gum polysaccharide (NGP), acrylamide grafted neem gum polysaccharide (NGP-g-Am) and carboxymethylated neem gum polysaccharide (CMNGP) as binding agent in the tablet dosage form. Methods: Diclofenac sodium was used as a model drug while microcrystalline cellulose and talc were used as excipient in the preparation of granules employing wet granulation technique. NGP, NGP-g-Am and CMNGP were utilized as binding agent in the preparation of granules. Prepared granules were characterized for various pre-compression and post-compression parameters. Results and Discussion: Binding agents were used in the concentration of 4-24%w/w. NGP incorporated granules showed more bulk density and lower values of tapped density, Carr’s index, bulkiness, Hausner’s ratio and angle of repose as compared to NGP-g-Am consisting granules. NGP-g-Am consisting tablets showed more hardness and zero friability as compared to NGP based tablets. Drug content was found lower for the tablets having grafted polymer in place of NGP. CMNGP were also utilized to prepare granules but granules were not be able to compress keeping all the compacting parameters same as used in the case of NGP and NGP-g-Am consisting granules. NGP and NGP-g-Am were able to sustain drug release up to 6 and 8 h, respectively. Conclusion: It can be concluded that NGP-g-Am induces better properties when used as a binder in the tablet formulation than native polymer, while CMNGP cannot be utilized as a binding agent in the preparation of a tablet.
