Abstract
The purpose of writing this review on floating drug delivery systems (FDDS) was to compile the recent literature with special focus on the principal mechanism of floatation to achieve gastric retention. The recent developments of FDDS including the physiological and formulation variables affecting gastric retention, approaches to design single-unit and multiple-unit floating systems, and their classification and formulation aspects are covered in detail. This review also summarizes the in vitro techniques, in vivo studies to evaluate the performance and application of floating systems, and applications of these systems. These systems are useful to several problems encountered during the development of a pharmaceutical dosage form.

Food, gastrointestinal pH, and models of oral drug absorption

TL;DR: Understanding of the physicochemical and physiological rate‐limiting factors affecting oral absorption, modellers can implement simplified population‐based modelling approaches that are less complex than whole‐body physiologically‐based models but still capture the essential elements in a physiological way and hence will be more suited for population modelling of large clinical data sets.

Hypotheses on the pathogenesis and natural history of Helicobacter pylori-induced inflammation

TL;DR: A model is proposed in which luminal H. pylori secrete substances that mediate inflammation that is beneficial to the organism but ultimately deleterious for the host; in addition to tissue damage, inflammation also affects gastric secretory function.

Specific and non-specific bioadhesive particulate systems for oral delivery to the gastrointestinal tract.

TL;DR: The present review focuses on the gastrointestinal bioadhesion of micro- and nanoparticles in the gastrointestinal tract, and proposes a strategy to associate drugs to polymeric nanoparticulate systems because of their propensity to interact with the mucosal surface.

Development of a Novel Controlled-Release System for Gastric Retention

TL;DR: A novel controlled-release gastric retention system, which consists of a matrix tablet, coated with a permeable membrane, which should be greatly reduced due to tablet's expansion, and due to its disintegration or loss in integrity it should then be expelled out of the stomach at the end of the drug release.
