Abstract Background Tuberculosis remains a major public health challenge in Somalia, where a fragile health system and reliance on private providers complicate care. Although Public-Private Partnerships are globally reco...

The design of novel delivery systems to treat vaginal fungalinfections is a topic of high interest. Chitosan, being itselfantimicrobial and having good mucoadhesive properties, is an excellentcandidate as a delivery matr...

Abstract Prostate cancer (PCa) is a leading malignancy in men, particularly challenging in its advanced stages due to treatment resistance and immune evasion. MicroRNA-1290 (miR-1290) was identified to be implicated in t...

Tobacco harm reduction (THR) using represents a pragmatic and realistic strategy, to which electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) misperceptions act as a barrier. This paper explores ENDS misperceptions, especially ...

Artificial pancreas (AP) algorithms can be divided into single-hormone (SH) and dual-hormone (DH). SH algorithms regulate glycemia using insulin as their control input. On the other hand, DH algorithms also use glucagon ...

ABSTRACT Integrating healthcare systems with intelligent transportation networks represents a critical frontier in modern urban infrastructure, where efficient resource allocation and timely service delivery can signific...

Newcastle Disease (ND) threatens poultry productivity worldwide. Vaccination remains central to control, but conventional oral delivery often yields short-lived immunity. Mucoadhesive systems are an alternative delivery ...

Abstract The development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly advancing, and AI tools are being integrated into many aspects of daily life, including medical care and public health. The full extent to which AI rela...

Abstract Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) production is increasingly challenged by water limitations and declining soil quality, necessitating efficient alternatives to conventional cultivation. This review examines the ...

Abstract Curcumin, a natural polyphenol with multifaceted anticancer properties, faces significant clinical translation challenges due to poor solubility, rapid metabolism, and low bioavailability. Hydrogels, as biocompa...

Abstract Problem Despite flagship programs like Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY) and Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana (PMMVY), India faces persistent maternal health inequities driven by fragmented legal frameworks, workf...

Inorganic materials contain remarkable properties for drug delivery, such as a large surface area and nanoporous structure. Among these materials, CaCO3 microparticles (CMPs) exhibit a high encapsulation efficiency and s...

In the last years, it has been discovered and intensely studied the non‐traditional intrinsic luminescence of polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers. Nevertheless, their aging process in aqueous suspension is scarcely studi...

Poly(N-acryloylmorpholine) (P(NAM))-based materials have been developed to prevent protein adhesion to surfaces due to their biocompatibility and protein-repellent properties. However, transferring the benefits of P(NAM)...
