Mankind has been expressing the breeding topic for thousands of years. Reproduction is the primary instinct of human beings and it is a social, cultural, medical issue. Demographic infertility is one of them, which is defined infertility as the inability to become pregnant with a live birth, within five years of regular sexual contact based upon a consistent union status in marriage maintaining a desire for a child with the lack of contraceptive use and non-lactating. A first mentions about infertility and surrogacy is discovered on a 4000-year-old clay tablet of marriage contract belonging to the Assyrian period exhibited at Istanbul Archeology Museum in Turkey. In conclusion, there are many different ways to solve infertility problems like surrogacy as mentioned even 4000 years ago in this Assyrian clay tablet of marriage contract as the first time in the literature. Medical treatments in relation to human infertility will continue to be the focus of social and cultural debates. Hence, more legislation and regulation will come in many countries to control the unauthorized exploitation of the patient.

Background: Osteoporosis is a complex disease that poses major global public health challenges. Many individuals with osteoporosis turn to complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) for prevention and management. Due to its mineral contents, Padzahr, a type of clay used in traditional Persian medicine, is believed to have bone-forming properties.

The most common scientific analysis of archaeological ceramics aims to determine the raw material source and/or production technology. Scientists and archaeologists widely use XRF-based techniques as a tool in a provenance study. After conducting XRF analysis, the results are often analyzed using multivariate analysis in addition to interpretation and conclusions.

Article Synopsis
  • This study focuses on creating an effective electrochemical electrode by adding potassium montmorillonite (MMT) clay to a carbon matrix, aimed at accurately detecting paracetamol (PAR) in pharmaceuticals.
  • The electrode's performance is characterized using methods like cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry, showing a responsive detection range for PAR and a low limit of detection (0.46 μM) with around 94% recovery.
  • The research utilizes density functional theory (DFT) and Monte Carlo simulations to explore PAR's interactions on the electrode surface, confirming strong correlations between theoretical predictions and experimental findings, leading to a sensor with rapid response, high sensitivity, and durability.

This study investigated the ability of natural nanotubular clay mineral (Halloysite) and cellulose ether based biocomposite matrix as a controlled release agent for Verapamil HCl (BCS Class-I). Drug-loaded halloysite was prepared and tablet formulations were designed by varying amount of hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC K4M). Physical characterization was carried out using SEM, FTIR, and DSC.

Paracetamol (PCT), or acetaminophen, is an important drug used worldwide for various clinical purposes. However, the excessive or indiscriminate use of PCT can provoke liver and kidney dysfunction; hence, it is essential to determine the amount of this target in biological samples. In this work, we develop a quick, simple, and sensitive voltammetric method using chemically modified electrodes to determine PCT in complex matrices, including human serum and commercial solid formulations.
