References I. Introduction and Use of the UC‐Denver Formulary Basic Definitions: Anesthesia: central nervous system depression that provides amnesia, unconsciousness and immobility in response to a painful stimulation. Drugs that produce anesthesia may or may not provide analgesia (1, 2). Analgesia: The absence of pain in response to stimulation that would normally be painful. An analgesic drug can provide analgesia by acting at the level of the central nervous system or at the site of inflammation to diminish or block pain signals (1, 2). Sedation: A state of mental calmness, decreased response to environmental stimuli, and muscle relaxation. This state is characterized by suppression of spontaneous movement with maintenance of spinal reflexes (1). Animal anesthesia and analgesia are crucial components of an animal use protocol. This document is provided to aid in the design of an anesthetic and analgesic plan to prevent animal pain whenever possible. However, this document should not be perceived to replace consultation with the university’s veterinary staff. As required by law, the veterinary staff should be consulted to assist in the planning of procedures where anesthetics and analgesics will be used to avoid or minimize discomfort, distress and pain in animals (3, 4). Prior to administration, all use of anesthetics and analgesic are to be approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC).

  • How to Help…Your Child Take Medicine
    How to Help…Your Child Take Medicine Having a child take medicine by mouth is not always an easy task; in fact having a child take medicine by mouth and having the situation remain positive and encouraging can seem, at times, impossible. Below are some ideas to help encourage children to take their oral medication while providing them with a sense of control. o Always prepare your child in advance when they need to take medicine by mouth. o Children are sensitive to the environment and emotions of others. They will quickly sense if you are expecting a lack of cooperation. Remain positive and encouraging. o Use play to help your child practice by encouraging them to give “medicine” to a doll or stuffed animal with an empty syringe or medicine cup. o When possible, give choices. (i.e. what would they like it mixed with, what would they like to drink before/after, how would they like to take it…in a cup, in a syringe). o Encourage the child to hold onto a security item. o To partially numb the taste buds, have the child suck on a Popsicle right before giving the medication. o Mixing medicine with a flavoring such as Kool-aid powder, chocolate syrup or maple syrup may mask a strong taste. o Chalky liquids often taste better by mixing them with chocolate or vanilla ice cream (always in amounts the child is guaranteed to finish). o Have your child “chase” the medicine with a favorite beverage such as juice, soda or chocolate milk. White grape juice is great for masking a bitter taste.

Characterization of CPX-loaded MCs Particle size (PS), polydispersity index (PDI), and Zeta Potential were determined using a dynamic light scattering analyzer (Nano-ZS90 Zetasizer, Malvern Instruments, UK). Diluted samples in DPBS were used at room temperature in triplicates. Entrapment efficiency was calculated (n = 3) as the percentage of CPX loaded relative to the initial total amount of drug used for the formulation by measuring drug concentration at 277 nm using a UV–Vis spectrophotometer (Shimadzu UV 1650 Spectrophotometer, Japan). Drug loading was calculated by dividing the entrapped amount of CPX on the total amount of MCs.
