Good particulate products require that particle segregation has been minimized. Moreover representative sampling is essential for adequate quality control of such products. This requires optimum design of procedures and equipment for both sampling and measurement. Representative test samples primarily require that all constituent particles have had equal chance of being taken from a lot of material, given their proportion. Moreover, a sufficient number of particles is necessary for good precision. This article discusses and exemplifies various potential errors during collection of small amounts from powder lots and during in-situ and on-line measurement, so that optimum consideration can be given to the design of adequate analytical procedures. It should be realized that the errors during sampling of particulate materials are very similar to those during collection of small portions for production of pharmaceutical tablets.

Introduction: Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is an infectious disease that imposes substantial economic burdens on small ruminants (SR) production. For Tanzania to develop efficient management and eradication plans, it is essential to comprehend the seroprevalence of PPR designated for global elimination by 2030.
Methodology: This study investigated the prevalence of PPR in animals kept under pastoral and agropastoral communities in Tanzania.

Objective: This study aims to explore how sociodemographic, psychological, and quality of life factors impact dual-task performance among elderly individuals in Iraq.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 384 healthy community-dwelling participants aged 60 years and over, recruited from Najaf, Iraq. Data were collected using the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales-21 (DASS-21), Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS), and the World Health Organization Quality of Life Brief Form (WHOQOL-BREF).

Purpose: A first-in-human phase one study was conducted in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients to assess the safety and tolerability of VK-2019, a small molecule selective inhibitor of Epstein-Barr virus Nuclear Antigen 1 (EBNA1).
Patients And Methods: Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies, including circulating tumor EBV DNA plasma levels, were performed. Twenty-three patients received VK-2019 orally once daily at doses ranging from 60 to 1800 mg using an accelerated titration design, with cohort expansion at 1800 mg.

Background: Cystic fibrosis is a multisystem disease characterised by the production of thick secretions causing recurrent pulmonary infection, often with unusual bacteria. Intravenous (IV) antibiotics are commonly used in the treatment of acute deteriorations in symptoms (pulmonary exacerbations); however, recently the assumption that exacerbations are due to increases in bacterial burden has been questioned. This is an update of a previously published review.
