Phytic acid or inositol hexakisphosphate (InsP) and its dephosphorylated forms (InsP, InsP & InsP) are integral to cellular functions and confer several health benefits. The present study was aimed to develop a cost effective and high sample throughput RP-HPLC-RID method for routine quantification of lower inositol phosphates in both raw and processed cereals and pulses. For this asuitable mobile phase composition was formulated and two columns (MacroporusHamilton PRP-1 Vs Waters Symmetry C18) were compared in terms ofsystem specificity,linearity, accuracy and precision. Separation ofInsP, InsP, InsP and InsP were recorded at 2.39, 2.93, 3.83 and 5.37 min usingPRP-1column while the RT were 4.67, 5.64, 6.99 and 9.14 min with C18column.Linearity of standards (R > 0.99), with an accuracy and precision ranging from 1 to 5 % was achieved. The LOD and LOQ of all InsPs were 5 and 15 μg/ml, respectively. In quality control sample InsP was found in highest concentration (446 ± 14.71 mg/100 g) followed by InsP (162 ± 8.00 mg/100 g) and InsP with the least concentration of 11.63 ± 1.06 mg/100 g whereas InsP was below detectable limit (BDL). The optimised method was used for profiling of InsPs in the raw and processed cereals and pulses consumed as staple foods in India. Processed foods contained lesser InsP and more of lower InsP compared to raw foods. The optimised method using unique mobile phase composition was found to yield accurate results and can used for large scale analysis of cereals and pulses and estimation of mineral nutrition potential and allied health benefits.

Introduction: Whether in utero exposure to pregestational (type 2 [T2D] and type 1 diabetes [T1D]) and gestational diabetes (GDM) are contributing factors in the rise of neurodevelopmental alterations such as autism is yet unclear. Therefore, we summarized the evidence from studies that assessed such association.
Methods: A systematic review with meta-analyses was performed following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines; eligible studies were identified in PubMed, Web of Science, and EBSCO up to April 3rd, 2023.

Background: Ethnic and racial discrimination in maternal health care has been overlooked in academic literature and yet it is critical for achieving universal health coverage (UHC). There is a lack of empirical evidence on its impact on the effective coverage of maternal health interventions (ECMH) for Indigenous women in Mexico. Documenting progress in reducing maternal health inequities, particularly given the disproportionate impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on ethnic minorities, is essential to improving equity in health systems.

Background: Abortion-related complications are difficult to measure due to lack of standardized definitions and limited available data. We describe the proportion of abortive events that result in a documented complication in Mexico's public sector hospitals.
Methods: We used ICD-10 codes from Mexico's hospital discharge system (2018-2022), Subsistema Automatizado de Egresos Hospitalarios (SAEH), to describe abortive events admitted to hospitals: complications for excessive bleeding, infection, embolism, and unspecified; patient socio-demographic and clinical characteristics; and municipality-level structural vulnerability.

Obstetric healthcare for Indigenous women remains a severe problem in low-income countries with great cultural diversity and a colonial past. The work of health professionals to prevent complications leading to maternal deaths is paramount, yet in these contexts, they face significant challenges in implementing culturally competent services. This paper aims to present findings from an ethnographic study that attempted to document the experience of health professionals providing obstetric services in order to show the complex sociocultural contexts in which they perform their work.
