Several hydroxamic acids, viz., N-benzyl-N'-hydroxysuccinamide (BHS), poly[alpha,beta-(N-hydroxy)-DL-aspartamide] (PHA), poly[alpha,beta-(N-hydroxy-N-methyl-DL-aspartamide)] (PMHA) and poly[alpha,beta-(N-hydroxy)-DL- aspartamide]/poly[alpha,beta-(N-2-hydroxyethyl)-DL-aspartamide] (PHA-PHEA 1:1) were prepared and screened for their antimicrobial activity. Ten Gram-positive and 7 Gram-negative species of bacteria, 5 Candida species, 4 dermatophyte species and 3 mould species were used in tests. Compound showed no antimicrobial activity on any of the tested microorganisms. Other compounds showed a narrow spectrum of antibacterial activity, but no antifungal activity.

Community health workers (CHWs) play a significant role in supporting health services delivery in communities with few trained health care providers. There has been limited research on ways to optimize the role of CHWs in HIV prevention service delivery. This study explored CHWs' experiences with offering HIV prevention services [HIV testing and HIV pre- and post-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP and PEP)] during three pilot studies in rural communities in Kenya and Uganda, which aimed to increase biomedical HIV prevention coverage via a structured patient-centered HIV prevention delivery model.

This research highlights a sustainable approach for the design and synthesis of a magnetic nickel ferrite (NiFeO) catalyst reutilizing industrial waste, specifically iron ore tailing and Raney nickel catalyst processing waste, by simple co-precipitation method. Transforming waste materials into high-performance catalysts, this study aligns with the principles of a circular economy, addressing both environmental waste and pollution. Structural characterization by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and microscopic (FESEM and TEM) revealed the formation of well crystalline nano ferrite with NiFeO nanoparticles with cubic spinel structure.

The sustainable use of pomegranate peel, a by-product of the food industry, is gaining importance in developing pharmaceutical bio-inputs, aligning with circular economy practices and waste reduction. This study explores the application of dry crude pomegranate peel extract (PPE) as a bio-input for medicinal gels with wound healing properties. PPE was extracted via percolation in ethanol and freeze-dried.
