Application of validated UV-Vis spectrophotometry-colorimetric methods for specific quantification of deferiprone in the development of iron-responsive nanoparticle loaded into dissolving microneedle.

Deferiprone (DFP) is one of the iron-chelating agents used in iron overload therapy for patients with ß-thalassemia major (ß-TM). However, the use of DFP is limited as it experiences a first-pass effect and can potentially cause iron deficiency due to uncontrolled release. Therefore, iron-responsive (NP-IR) DFP nanoparticle innovation was developed to control DFP release.

Extracted yam bean ( (L.) Urb.) fiber counteracts adiposity, insulin resistance, and inflammation while modulating gut microbiota composition in mice fed with a high-fat diet.

Background And Purpose: Yam bean () is a potent medicinal plant exerting therapeutical effects against diseases. However, investigations on the health benefits of its fiber remain limited. This study aimed to investigate the potential of yam bean fiber (YBF) against a high-fat diet (HFD)-induced metabolic diseases, inflammation, and gut dysbiosis.

Lights, camera…research! Short film and social media to recruit to HIV research in Indonesia.

Introduction: HIV prevalence among men who have sex with men has increased in Indonesia, amid reports of growing stigma against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals and policies that have pushed back public health outreach to these groups.

Methods: We assessed the utility of tailored short film and targeted social media engagement to recruit men who have sex with men in Indonesia to HIV social science research. A short HIV testing promotion film, anonymised short survey and invite to a wider research study was embedded on a website platform and disseminated using geo and social/community group targeting for 1 month via a social networking app and social media platforms.
