Impact of Simulated Gastrointestinal Fluid: Viscosity, Surface Tension, and pH on the Dissolution and Rheology Assessment of Viscosity of Two Commercial Candesartan Cilexetil Products.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to ivnestigate the effect of simulated gastrointestinal viscosity, surface tension, and pH on the dissolution rate of two commercial candesartan cilexetil (CC) products.

Materials And Methods: dissolution of two commercial CC products and immediate release of 16 mg of CC were applied under two conditions: (1) the requirements of the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) and (2) conditions physiologically related to the gastrointestinal tract mimicking viscous food intake. The solubility of CC in different simulation fluids was also measured.

HALP Score in Predicting Response to Treatment in Patients with Early-Stage Gastric Cancer: A Multi-Centred Retrospective Cohort Study.

: The HALP (Haemoglobin, Albumin, Lymphocyte and Platelet) score is used to predict the prognosis of different types of cancer. This study aimed to investigate the role of the HALP score in predicting pathological response in early-stage gastric cancer patients. : This retrospective cohort study was conducted on 118 patients diagnosed with early-stage gastric cancer and subjected to perioperative (FLOT) treatment between 2018 and 2023.

A comparative study of extraction methods for recovery of bioactive components from brown algae .

Species of genus are known to be rich sources of bioactive compounds. However, there is a lack of studies comparing extraction methods for these bioactive components. This study aimed to compare the total phenolic contents, total antioxidant capacity, tyrosinase inhibitory effect, sargahydroquinoic acid (SHQA) and sargachromenol (SCM), two algal meroterpenoids, of extracts acquired by different extraction methods.

L-lysine and surfactant-assisted synthesis of NiCo bimetal oxides for electrochemical water splitting.

In the present study, bimetallic oxides comprising nickel (Ni) and cobalt (Co) were synthesized using a facile hydrothermal method in the presence of CTAB and L-lysine. Their efficacy in catalyzing hydrogen production under alkaline conditions was assessed. Structural, vibrational, and morphological characteristics were analyzed utilizing X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques.
