The BESS trial is the largest-ever randomized study of surfactant for bronchiolitis. The work ran across 15 children's hospitals in England, Scotland, and Northern Ireland and involved 232 ...

For herpes viruses, each of the surfactants tested were comparable to TX-100, but “surfactants with bulky headgroups, such as LAPAO, showed lower efficacy against XMuLV,” they found.

Alveolar type 2 (AT2) cells maintain lung health by acting as stem cells and producing pulmonary surfactant. AT2 dysfunction underlies many lung diseases, including interstitial lung disease (ILD), in ...

Solubilization emerges as the primary mechanism driving the dissolution of blind-end residual oil by the middle-phase microemulsion, as depicted in Figure 12. However, hindered by water column ...

Polyethylene (PE) is a hydrophobic polymeric insulating material. It has been found that adding hydrophilic additives can enhance the water tree resistance of PE. On the other hand, a surfactant ...

As a first step, Indorama is carving out the surfactant business and naming it Indovinya. The business had sales of nearly $3.6 billion in 2023 and pretax earnings of $440 million.

The mechanisms behind the synergistic antimicrobial effect of the S465 micelles loaded with curcumin were assessed using Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy (FLIM) and a Live/Dead Cell Assay. The ...

Surfactant–liposome interactions have been previously studied through different methods and techniques. We present here a classical physical chemistry study on liposome solutions added to ...

Nonionic surfactants are good at emulsification and solubilization, and have low irritation. They are mostly used in creams, lotions and water products that need to be solubilized. In addition to ...

The digestive stages after oral administration and the mechanisms of in vivo uptake of surfactant-coated nanoparticles through the small intestine. Notes: (A-1) Transcellular route, through the M ...
