Pharmacogenomic (PGx) research on the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) properties of drugs has begun to have impact for both drug development and utilization. To provide a cross-industry perspective on the utility of ADME PGx, the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) conducted a survey of major pharmaceutical companies on their PGx practices and applications during 2003-2005. This white paper summarizes and interprets the results of the survey, highlights the contributions and applications of PGx by industrial scientists as reflected by original research publications, and discusses changes in drug labels that improve drug utilization by inclusion of PGx information. In addition, the paper includes a brief review on the clinically relevant genetic variants of drug-metabolizing enzymes and transporters most relevant to the pharmaceutical industry.

The study reports solid-state ceramic supercapacitors (SSCs) assembled using a novel composite electrolyte based on Li ion conducting perovskite-type LLTO (LiLaTiO) and an ionic liquid (EMIM BF). Small amounts of various ionic liquids (ILs) were added to LLTO to enhance the ionic conductivity and improve electrode compatibility. The optimal composition with approximately ∼6 wt% EMIM BF in LLTO exhibited a high ionic conductivity of around ∼10 Ω cm at room temperature, nearly three orders of magnitude higher than that of the pristine LLTO.

Introduction: A gluten-free (GF) diet, the only treatment for people living with coeliac disease (CD), is challenging, and international guidelines highlight the valuable role of healthcare professionals in enabling self-management. The study aimed to explore the acceptability of telephone and online video consultations for adults with CD.
Methods: A cross-sectional study consisting of an online and paper survey was promoted to adults with CD.

Edible films are significant in prolonging the shelf life of meat products. Herein, we prepared some edible coatings (EW/TNPCSs) based on egg white/chitosan/pectin as polymer matrix, containing tannic acid-nisin composite nano-crosslinker with antibacterial-antioxidant activities. The results of preservation indicated that the prepared EW/TNPCSs reduced the water loss of chilled pork and delayed the changes of taste, texture and surface color.

Background: People with joint hypermobility have excessive joint flexibility, which is more common in young women. The people with symptomatic hypermobility report poor balance and even falls. This scoping review aims to identify and map the available evidence related to balance and falling in adults with joint hypermobility to support research planning and ideas for treatment direction.
