Surprised by Co-Creation; Building Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) in the Physiology curriculum with Undergraduate Students.

As public-facing global institutions, modern universities are subject to equality legislation (locally the United Kingdom Equality Act) and the need to represent an increasingly diverse student body. For effective education, this broad cohort needs to see itself represented, both in the curriculum, and in the very structures of the university. It is with this in mind that staff in the Centre for Biomedical Sciences Education in Queen's University Belfast recruited three students from diverse backgrounds to co-design aspects of the Undergraduate Physiology Curriculum for Medicine and Health and Life Sciences (MHLS) degrees.

GC/MS and LC-ESI-MS Analysis of Conocarpus erectus Leaves Extract via Regulating Amyloid-β-Peptide, Tau Protein, Neurotransmitters, Inflammation and Oxidative Stress against AlCl-Induced Alzheimer's Disease in Rats.

This study investigated the therapeutic effect of Conocarpus erectus leaves methanolic extract against AlCl -induced Alzheimer's disease (AD) in rats comparing with Donepezil-hydrochloride as a reference drug. The bioactive compounds of C. erectus leaves were isolated and identified by GC/MS and LC-ESI-MS analysis.
