The current project was designed to develop piperine-loaded solid lipid microparticles (SLMs) to assess the anti-arthritic potential of piperine (PIP). Variable proportions of carnauba wax, beeswax, and tween 80 were employed for preparing SLMs by using the solvent evaporation technique. The developed formulations were subjected to particle size measurements, entrapment efficiency (EE), and zeta potential (ZP) determination.

Probiotics offer relief by modulating gut microbiota, but variability in outcomes necessitates a systematic evaluation of their efficacy. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of probiotics in improving symptoms of IBS through a systematic review and meta-analysis.

- The study highlights the importance of identifying periodontal phenotypes in clinical practice, as tissue thickness affects responses to inflammation and surgical outcomes.
- The research was conducted using non-invasive methods like Colorvue® probes and iTero® scanners to assess gingival tissue, comparing them with traditional methods.
- Results showed that non-invasive techniques not only provided significant color perception differences but also reduced patient anxiety and pain levels, especially with intraoral scanning.
Local Khulays clay was modified to prepare polystyrene clay nanocomposite (PCN) coatings on carbon steel. The PCN coatings were added to microcapsules (MCs) loaded with the corrosion inhibitor PCN(MC). The microcapsules were prepared by the encapsulation of rare-earth metal Ce ions and isobutyl silanol into polystyrene via the double emulsion solvent evaporation (DESE) technique.
