Nilvadipine (NIL) solid-dispersion tablets were stored counter to packaging instructions by exposing them to 40 degrees C, 25 degrees C, 75% relative humidity, and light. The dissolution, stability assay, and tablet properties (weight, thickness and hardness) were then examined. NIL dissolved more than 85% after all storage periods with exposure to high temperature and humidity. Powder X-ray diffraction analysis indicated that NIL was present in an amorphous state as in the initial state. The stability assay of NIL showed that it was more than 99% stable during all storage periods when exposed to temperature, humidity, and light, indicating good stability. Tablet properties were influenced by humidity more than by temperature, and the hardness of tablets decreased with time to 42.9 N after storage of 3 months.

The interaction between ultrafast, tightly focused lasers and materials has garnered significant interest owing to its distinctive properties. In this study, we present a versatile methodology for the fabrication of tunable plasmonic nanostructures by employing a disordered gold nanoisland-dielectric-metal configuration, achieved through femtosecond laser printing. By reshaping the gold nanoislands and reconfiguring them into nanograting-like structures, the orientation of these nanostructures is influenced by the polarization of the femtosecond laser light, leading to controllable plasmon resonance and polarization-sensitive color display.

Astragalus mongholicus is a perennial Chinese medicinal herb in the family Leguminosae widely cultivated in China. In September 2023, A. mongholicus plants in a field in Weiyuan County, Gansu Province, showed symptoms of circular or irregular brown, sunken and necrotic lesions, multiple lesions coalesced, and brown longitudinal cracks in the roots.

Background: Aflatoxins, known for their carcinoginc properties and produced by Aspergillus fungi, pose a substantial threat to public health, particularly in regions with hot and humid climates, where individuals are exposed to these toxins through contaminated food. The primary objective of this study was to assess the extent of aflatoxin exposure in the Emirate of Sharjah employing Aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) as a biomarker in urine samples from adult participants. Furthermore, this study aimed to explore the relationship between dietary habits and AFM1 levels in order to establish a potential link.
