DePuy Synthes knee system shown to be beneficial for economics and patient reported outcomes

DePuy Synthes*, part of the Johnson & Johnson Family of Companies, released a new report, "Improving the Value of Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty: the ATTUNE® Knee System," that analyzes the ATTUNE Knee's current clinical and economic data. The report concludes that in a value-based healthcare environment with cost constraints and growing procedure volumes, the value of a knee replacement implant is measured not only by how long the implant lasts (implant survivorship), but also through patient reported outcomes and the economic benefits of the procedure.

Case studies for the role of in-process particle measurement to complement traditional API dissolution studies

Quantifying tablet disintegration profiles in situ and in real time enables scientists to reliably understand the breakage and dispersion mechanisms that govern API release rates. This essential process knowledge can support the prediction of in vivo drug release profiles during formulation development, and help identify the root cause of inconsistencies during release testing.
