Background: A stability-indicating method (SIM) stipulates the testing of the drug product and drug substances under the stressed conditions that will imply a clear notion about the stress conditions that would affect the drug in its finished dosage form. Furthermore, manufactures can clearly define the state at which the drug is unstable and present its storage conditions.
Objective: The present article deals with the stability testing and degradation kinetic studies of desloratadine (DL).
Method: The method of analysis was UV visible spectroscopy, which is a most convenient and reliable method for the analyst. A method was developed and validated according to the ICH Q2 guidelines along with the amendment in 2018 (ICH Q14).
Results: The study denotes that the drug is extremely unstable in the presence of dry heat and then follows the oxidative and basic degradations. The acidic, neutral, and photolysis did not show notable degradations.
Conclusions: The chemical kinetic studies were carried out to more clearly understand the mechanism of degradation and to present the order of reaction, rate of reaction, and reaction half-time.
Highlights: The application of a spectrophotometric method in the development of a SIM and study of degradation kinetics is much handier and cost-effective.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic, declared in March 2020, profoundly affected global health, societal, and economic frameworks. Vaccination became a crucial tactic in combating the virus. Simultaneously, the pandemic likely underscored the internet's role as a vital resource for seeking health information.

Importance: Mindfulness meditation may improve well-being among employees; however, effects of digital meditation programs are poorly understood.
Objective: To evaluate the effects of digital meditation vs a waiting list condition on general and work-specific stress and whether greater engagement in the intervention moderates these effects.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This randomized clinical trial included a volunteer sample of adults (aged ≥18 years) employed at a large academic medical center who reported mild to moderate stress, had regular access to a web-connected device, and were fluent in English.

The present investigation evaluated the potential impacts of morin, a natural flavonoid, against cardiovascular disorders. Since inception until September 2024, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science have been searched extensively. The process involved eliminating duplicate entries and conducting a systematic review of the remaining studies post-full-text screening.

Efficient agricultural management often relies on farmers' experiential knowledge and demands considerable labor, particularly in regions with challenging terrains. To reduce these burdens, the adoption of smart technologies has garnered increasing attention. This study proposes a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based model as a decision-support tool for smart irrigation in orchard systems, focusing on persimmon cultivation in mountainous regions.

Selective breeding is a potent method for developing strains with enhanced traits. This study compared the growth performance and stress responses of the genetically improved Abbassa Nile tilapia strain (G9; GIANT-G9) with a local commercial strain over 12 weeks, followed by exposure to stressors including high ammonia (10 mg TAN/L), elevated temperature (37 °C), and both for three days. The GIANT-G9 showed superior growth, including greater weight gain, final weight, length gain, specific growth rate, and protein efficiency ratio, as well as a lower feed conversion ratio and condition factor compared to the commercial strain.
