    Summary: North America's Indigenous population is a vulnerable group, with specific psychological and healing needs that are not widely met in the mental health care system. Indigenous peoples face certain historical, cultural-linguistic and socioeconomic barriers to mental health care access that government, health care organizations and social agencies must work to overcome. This volume examines ways Indigenous healing practices can complement Western psychological service to meet the needs of Indigenous peoples through traditional cultural concepts. Bringing together leading experts in the fields of Aboriginal mental health and psychology, it provides data and models of Indigenous cultural practices in psychology that are successful with Indigenous peoples. It considers Indigenous epistemologies in applied psychology and research methodology, and informs government policy on mental health service for these populations. Nielsen 9781138928992 20170206

    Non-aqueous co-solvent systems have been evaluated for their potential use in the freeze-drying of pharmaceutical products. The advantages of using these non-aqueous solvent systems include: increased drug wetting or solubility, increased sublimation rates, increased pre-dried bulk solution or dried product stability, decreased reconstitution time, and enhancement of sterility assurance of the pre-dried bulk solution. Conversely, the potential disadvantages and issues which must be evaluated include: the proper safe handling and storage of flammable and/or explosive solvents, the special facilities or equipment which may be required, the control of residual solvent levels, the toxicity of the remaining solvent, qualification of an appropriate GMP purity, the overall cost benefit to use of the solvent, and the potential increased regulatory scrutiny. The co-solvent system that has been most extensively evaluated was the tert-butanol/water combination. The tert-butanol possesses a high vapor pressure, freezes completely in most commercial freeze-dryers, readily sublimes during primary drying, can increase sublimation rates, and has low toxicity. This co-solvent system has been used in the manufacture of a marketed injectable pharmaceutical product. When using this solvent system, both formulation and process control required optimization to maximize drying rates and to minimize residual solvent levels at the end of drying. Other co-solvent systems which do not freeze completely in commercial freeze-dryers were more difficult to use and often resulted in unacceptable freeze-dried cakes. Their use appears limited to levels of not more than 10%.
