Background: is a multipurpose plant known for its remedial properties but the antimicrobial and hepatoprotective activity of its pods remained unexplored.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial and hepatoprotective activity of n-hexane (ANPH) and methanol (ANPM) extracts of pods to scientifically validate their medicinal claims.
Methods: After the pharmacognostic evaluation of pods, tests were carried out to estimate phenolic and flavonoid content and antimicrobial potential.
Hot electrons (HEs) represent out-of-equilibrium carriers that are capable of facilitating reactions which are inaccessible under conventional conditions. Despite the similarity of the HE process to catalysis, optimization strategies such as orbital alignment and adsorption kinetics have not received significant attention in enhancing the HE-driven reaction yield. Here, we investigate catalytic effects in HE-driven reactions using a compositional catalyst modification (CCM) approach.

- - Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a hereditary blood disorder that leads to chronic pain, anemia, and various health complications, but advancements in treatments have improved patient outcomes over time.
- - Despite progress, challenges like limited access to stem cell transplants and complications from current therapies highlight the need for ongoing research in SCD treatments.
- - The recent FDA approval of Casgevy, a CRISPR/Cas9-based gene therapy, represents a significant step in SCD treatment, with the review focusing on its potential effectiveness and safety compared to traditional methods, emphasizing the need for long-term research.
Pharmacology is a fundamental healthcare discipline, but it can be difficult and counterintuitive for learners to learn. Navigation toward understanding pharmacology can be troublesome, but once the threshold to comprehension is crossed, learners can experience a transformative shift in their ways of thinking and practicing. We conducted an in-depth examination of threshold concepts within pharmacology, aiming to identify and prioritize their learning to improve the medical curriculum and enhance medical treatment and patient safety.
