In this research, the photophysical properties of metformin hydrochloride (MF-HCl) were studied using spectroscopic and molecular docking techniques. The interaction between metformin hydrochloride and caffeine is essential for understanding the pharmacokinetics of metformin, particularly in populations with high caffeine consumption. Metformin is a first-line medication for managing type 2 diabetes, while caffeine is a widely consumed dietary stimulant.

This study aimed to examine the effects of vermicompost and lime rates on soil properties and malt barley (Hordeum distichum L.) productivity under a furrow irrigation system on acidic soil in the Mecha district, northwest Ethiopia.

- Chronic constipation affects 24.3% of T2DM patients attending the endocrinology clinic at Hiwot Fana Comprehensive Specialized University Hospital, impacting their overall health and quality of life.
- Factors associated with chronic constipation include lower education levels, insufficient sleep (<7 hours), a history of depression, family history of constipation, low daily water intake (<1300 ml), and specific blood sugar and lipid levels.
- The study highlights the significance of addressing lifestyle and health factors to improve management and reduce constipation prevalence among T2DM patients.*
Article Synopsis
- - Integrated nutrient management and crop rotation can boost crop yield and improve soil quality by using a mix of dry bio-slurry and nitrogen fertilizers in farming systems.
- - A study over three years tested different combinations of bio-slurry and nitrogen, revealing that 25% dry bio-slurry with 75% nitrogen fertilizer produced the highest yield for potatoes and wheat.
- - The best combination also offered significant economic benefits, with a net profit of 2889.2 US$, suggesting this method should be promoted in similar agricultural settings.
Demand for animal-source foods and livestock feed are forecast to increase across sub-Saharan Africa. In this context, there is a need to estimate the availability of livestock feed to support decision-making at local, sub-national and national levels. In this study, we assess feed balances for ruminant livestock in Ethiopia and Burkina Faso.
