Telmisartan (TEL) was entrapped into β-cyclodextrin aiming the improvement of its biopharmaceutical properties of low solubility. A solid state grinding process was used to prepare the molecular inclusion complex (MIC) for up to 30min. The inclusion ratio of drug and β-cyclodextrin was established as 1:2 and 1:3 (mol/mol) by phase solubility study and Job Plot. DSC, XRPD and FTIR confirmed the molecular interactions between TEL and β-cyclodextrin. Computer molecular modeling supports the presence of hydrogen bonds between guest and host and demonstrated the most probable complexes configuration. MIC_1:2_30 and MIC_1:3_30 enhanced the dissolution rate of the drug achieving a delivery rate comparable with the reference medicine available in the market (81% and 87% in 5min, for MIC_1:3_30 and Micardis(®), respectively). These formulations showed rapid and effective antihypertensive effect against angiotensin II in rats up to 180min, with statistically significant results against placebo and control in the first 30min after administration.

Introduction: The objective of this study is to develop and evaluate an evidence-based, clinically relevant, and user-friendly eLearning resource to facilitate the provision of safe and affirming physical therapy services for individuals with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and other related identities or experiences (LGBTQIA+).

Review Of Literature: When accessing physical therapy, individuals who are LGBTQIA+ can experience assumptions, discrimination, discomfort, and encounter health professionals who lack knowledge about LGBTQIA+ health.

Subjects: Nine consumers and end-users participated in codesign and 20 physical therapists (evaluated the resource).

Flavonoids such as silibinin, hesperetin, and phloretin exhibit well-documented biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, cytoprotective, anticarcinogenic, and antioxidant effects. However, their clinical application remains limited due to challenges such as poor aqueous solubility, low bioavailability, and restricted intestinal absorption, which can significantly reduce their pharmacological efficacy. This review analyzed patents related to innovative pharmaceutical technologies for flavonoids.

Introduction Bariatric surgery is increasingly employed to address the global burden of morbid obesity, with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) representing the predominant procedure. However, some patients, particularly those with extreme obesity (BMI >50 kg/m²), may experience unsatisfactory weight-related outcomes following RYGB. While biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD-DS) offers superior weight reduction for this population, its complexity and associated risks limit its widespread use.
