Contract research organizations and pharmaceutical firms have performed stability testing using one of two methods: storing in the freezer a single tube of matrix for each quality control concentration (Method 1), followed by aliquoting and analysis; and storing three tubes for each quality control concentration, followed by analysis (Method 2). This research project was conducted to determine if there were detectable differences between Method 1 and Method 2. Five model drugs were selected: teriflunomide (stable compound) and acetyl salicylic acid, simvastatin, tenofovir alafenamide and valganciclovir (stability concerns). Samples were stored at -80°C for 1, 3 and 12 months and then analyzed. Samples were also placed at different locations within the freezer. For the drugs tested, the results suggest that there is no significant difference in the outcome of stability testing, regardless whether Method 1 or Method 2 was followed.

For the first time a novel fluorescent La@ZrMOF nanomaterial was synthesized for the convenient and visual detection of ethephon (ETH) based on the ligand-metal charge transfer process. The fluorescence signal gradually enhanced as the concentration of ETH increased, accompanied by a change in the color from colorless to blue. The assay can be completed within 75 min with a detection limit of 0.

Plum fruit fresh weight (FW) estimation is crucial for various agricultural practices, including yield prediction, quality control, and market pricing. Traditional methods for estimating fruit weight are often destructive, time-consuming, and labor-intensive. In this study, we addressed the problem of predicting plum FW using artificial intelligence (AI) methods based on fruit dimensions.

Real-world data on treatment outcomes or the quality of large-scale chronic hepatitis B (CHB) treatment programs in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is extremely difficult to obtain. In this study, we aimed to provide data on the prevalence and incidence of mortality, loss to follow-up (LFTU), and their associated factors in patients with CHB in three treatment centres in Eritrea. Additional information includes baseline clinical profiles of CHB patients initiated on nucleos(t)ide analogue (NUCs) along with a comparison of treatment with Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) vs.

Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are recommended to treat patients with deficient mismatch repair/microsatellite instability high (dMMR/MSI-H) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Pivotal trials have fixed a maximum ICI duration of 2 years, without a compelling rationale. A shorter treatment duration has the potential to improve patients' quality of life and reduce both toxicity and cost without compromising efficacy.
