A resveratrol/sulfobutylether-β-cyclodextrin inclusion complex was prepared using the freeze-drying method and characterized in solution through UV-vis spectroscopy, solubility phase studies and Job's plot methods. At the solid state it was characterized using the FTIR-ATR technique. Sulfobutylether-β-cyclodextrin has a high affinity for the drug, and forms an inclusion complex with a 1:1 molar ratio both in solution and as a solid sample. It also has a high stability constant (Kc, 10,114 M(-1)). Complexation strongly increases the water solubility of resveratrol (from 0.03 mg/ml to 1.1 mg/ml, at 25 °C) and positively influences its in vitro anticancer activity which was observed on a human breast cancer cell line (MCF-7). In solid phase, FTIR-ATR revealed itself as being a useful technique in elucidating the complexation mechanism, which it did by emphasizing the functional groups involved in the activation of non-covalent "host-guest" interactions.

The self-assembly of fibrin is a vital process in blood clotting, primarily facilitated by the interactions between knobs "A" and "B" in the central E region of one molecule and the corresponding holes "a" and "b" in the peripheral D regions of two other fibrin molecules. However, the precise function of the interactions between knob "B" and hole "b" during fibrin polymerization remains a subject of ongoing debate. The present study focuses on investigating intermolecular interactions between knob "B" and hole "b".

Background: Osteoporosis is a common age-related disease with disabling consequences, the early diagnosis of which is difficult due to its long and hidden course, which often leads to diagnosis only after a fracture. In this regard, great expectations are placed on advanced developments in machine learning technologies aimed at predicting osteoporosis at an early stage of development, including the use of large data sets containing information on genetic and clinical predictors of the disease. Nevertheless, the inclusion of DNA markers in prediction models is fraught with a number of difficulties due to the complex polygenic and heterogeneous nature of the disease.

Unlabelled: Despite the remarkably high antioxidant activity of tocopherols, their applications in the food industry are limited because of their instability under various conditions. Complexes of α-tocopherol (α-TQ) or α-tocopheryl acetate (α-TQA) with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) or starch were prepared and characterized by UV-vis, IR and thermal analysis. Oxidative stability of α-TQ and α-TQA against HO was 74.

Background: Gravid females with pelvic fractures are rarely encountered by the orthopaedic trauma surgeon. The initial injury can be detrimental to the pregnant patient, but an unnecessary "second hit" from surgery could also contribute to the outcome of the fetus. Understanding the surgical risks for this unique patient population requires knowledge about the negative effects of anesthesia, surgical exposures, and radiation.

Patient engagement and shared decision-making (SDM) between patients and clinicians is the foundation of patient-centered care. It aims to reach a treatment option that fits the patient's preference and is guideline-concordant. We sought to evaluate the possible causes and outcomes of patient's non-guideline-concordant care choices.
