In this study, a UV-vis spectrophotometric method coupled with net analyte signal (NAS) and principal component regression (PCR) as multivariate calibration methods were used for the simultaneous determination of levodopa (LEV) and carbidopa (CBD) in prepared mixtures, pharmaceutical formulation, and breast milk sample. The mean recovery of the NAS model was 98.10% and 99.60% for LEV and CBD, respectively. Also, the relative standard deviation (RSD%) values were found to be lower than 5.5% and 4% for LEV and CBD, respectively. On the other hand, the mean recovery of LEV and CBD related to the PCR method was obtained at 96.86% and 92.43%, respectively. K-Fold cross-validation was used to estimate the number of components, which was 7 and 3 with a mean square error prediction (MSEP) of 1.50 and 7.14 for LEV and CBD, respectively. The results revealed that the NAS model was better than the PCR model. Additionally, the proposed NAS-based calibration method was successfully developed for the simultaneous analyses of LEV and CBD in a commercial tablet and breast milk.

Article Synopsis
- The study presents two UV-spectrophotometry methods for simultaneously measuring levodopa (LEV) and carbidopa (CBD) in various samples, demonstrating their simplicity and accuracy.
- The first method, net analyte signal (NAS), shows excellent recovery rates and low error margins for both compounds, while the second method, absorbance subtraction (AS), operates at a key isosbestic point with high coefficients of determination.
- Both methods proved to be effective alternatives to high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for quality control, delivering reliable results without the need for sample pretreatment.

Wound healing is a complex process; therefore, new dressings are frequently required to facilitate it. In this study, porous bacterial levan-based sponges containing cannabis oil (Lev@CBDs) were prepared and fully characterized. The sponges exhibited a suitable swelling ratio, proper water vapor transmission rate, sufficient thermal stability, desired mechanical properties, and good antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

The developmental and epileptic encephalopathies encompass a group of rare syndromes characterised by severe drug-resistant epilepsy with onset in childhood and significant neurodevelopmental comorbidities. The latter include intellectual disability, developmental delay, behavioural problems including attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and autism spectrum disorder, psychiatric problems including anxiety and depression, speech impairment and sleep problems. Classical examples of developmental and epileptic encephalopathies include Dravet syndrome, Lennox-Gastaut syndrome and tuberous sclerosis complex.

Background: Despite the absence of rigorous prospective studies, there has been an increase in the use of cannabis-based medicinal products. During the study period, the use of medical cannabis in Israel was tightly regulated by national policy. Through a prospective study of approximately 10,000 patients, we aimed to characterize the medical cannabis patient population as well as to identify treatment adherence, safety, and effectiveness.
