Article Synopsis
  • Hyperglycemic mothers face increased risks during pregnancy and for their newborns, including complications like macrosomia and future diabetes, necessitating early diagnosis and personalized care.
  • A study involving 89 hyperglycemic mothers showed that a Nutrition and Behavior Modification Program (NBMP) positively influenced blood glucose levels, weight gain, and emotional well-being, compared to a control group.
  • Findings suggest that diet and physical activity play crucial roles in improving outcomes for both mothers and their newborns, with the NBMP leading to better adherence and reduced complications.

Article Synopsis
  • Many countries, including the USA, are facing a triple epidemic of respiratory viruses affecting children, prompting the need for COVID-19 vaccinations as approved by health authorities.
  • A study with 400 healthcare professionals and 200 parents found that while many have personal or family experiences with these viruses, there's a mixed perception about the efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccine in preventing them, with some reluctance to vaccinate.
  • The results highlight important factors influencing perceptions, such as education and personal experiences, suggesting that these insights could help policymakers strategize on including the COVID-19 vaccine in routine immunization schedules to enhance herd immunity.

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a widespread neurological autoimmune disease that includes episodes of demyelination in the central nervous system (CNS). The accumulated evidence has suggested that aryl hydrocarbon receptor (Ahr), a ligand-activated transcription factor, is a promising treatment target for MS. Thus, the current study aimed to identify a novel Ahr ligand with anti-inflammatory potential in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE).

Tadalafil (TAD) and dapoxetine HCl (DAP) are recently co-formulated and both show native fluorescence. Therefore, a novel, accurate, specific and sensitive reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatographic method with fluorescence detection was developed and validated for their separation and quantitation in dosage form and human plasma using avanafil as an internal standard (IS). Separation was achieved using isocratic elution within 7.
