Introduction: The preparation of anticancer chemotherapy in a hospital must meet several objectives; the first main is the quality, which can be provided by setting up a surveillance system and a quality control of each preparations. The aim of this work is to present a simple, fast and accurate spectrophotometric method for the routine control of cytotoxic preparations.

Materials And Methods: This is a study carried out in the cytotoxic preparation unit of the university center of Rabat-Sale children's hospital in Morocco. All samples of preparations were collected and analyzed daily on the site. After validation of the analytical method with respect to many parameters such as: linearity, accuracy and precision according to ICH Q2 guidelines, samples of cytotoxic preparations collected were assayed.

Results: The results are satisfactory with good level of exactitude, and high precision.

Conclusion: Compared to other techniques, this method can be considered as a useful alternative in the routine quality control of preparations. It can quickly obtain qualitative and quantitative information with instrumentation and inexpensive reagents.

One of the prevailing trends in contemporary agriculture is the application of biological control. Nevertheless, several reports suggest that biocontrol bacteria exhibit poor survival rates in host plants. Consequently, the concept of shielding biological control agents by encapsulating them in outer coatings has gained popularity.

To address the severe problem of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) resistance, this study identified a single component from traditional Chinese medicine that, when used in combination with existing antibiotics, enhances the therapeutic efficacy of the antimicrobial drugs. Using the micro broth dilution method and the checkerboard dilution method, susceptibility tests were conducted on ten commonly used β-lactam antibiotics against eleven strains of MRSA. It was found that cefquinome sulfate exhibits synergistic activity with PROs.

Background: Children living in communities with lower socioeconomic status and higher minority populations are often disproportionately exposed to particulate matter (PM) compared to children living in other communities.

Objective: We assessed whether adding HEPA filter air cleaners to classrooms with existing HVAC systems reduces indoor air pollution exposure.

Methods: From July 2022 to June 2023, using a block randomized crossover trial of 17 Los Angeles Unified School District elementary schools, classroom PM concentrations were monitored and compared for 99 classrooms with HEPA filter air cleaners and 87 classrooms with non-HEPA filter air cleaners.

Strawberry fruits are highly perishable and have a limited shelf life. Therefore, effective methods such as essential oils (EOs) and edible coatings are required to mitigate spoilage and maintain fruit quality during storage. In the current study, Echinophora platyloba EO was extracted and subsequently formulated into a nanoemulsion.
