Seeds of Nigella sativa L. (black cumin or black seeds) are widely used in traditional Islamic medicine and for culinary purposes worldwide. seed oil is becoming popular out the world. Composition known to be location-dependent. We investigated composition prepared by solvent- cold press-extraction seeds grown Morocco. Oil extraction yield was 37% 27% when solvent press methods were used, respectively. In terms major components, from Morocco similar that other Mediterranean countries their...

Objectives Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has burgeoned into a pandemic that highlights the countless social and health disparities have existed in Black communities within United States for centuries. Recent epidemiological data show are being disproportionately impacted by COVID-19, resulting higher morbidity mortality rates compared to other racial ethnic groups. For women particular, long-standing history of systemic racism marginalization resulted increased vulnerability...

Despite the high efficacy of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in preventing HIV acquisition, PrEP uptake among Black cisgender women remains low. Our qualitative study assessed women’s perspectives, attitudes, and acceptability towards PrEP, addition to exploring PrEP-related facilitators, barriers access health care staff. This was conducted ascertain data inform development our prevention app—Savvy HER—which is being designed for women. findings indicated that had low levels misconceptions,...

Achieving WHO cervical cancer elimination goals will necessitate efforts to increase HPV vaccine access and coverage in low-and-middle-income countries (LMICs). Although LMICs account for the majority of cases globally, scale-up programs progress toward targets has been largely insufficient. Understanding barriers facilitators that stakeholders face introduction vaccination be pivotal ensuring are equipped optimize implementation programs. This qualitative study interviewed 13 global...

Background Cisgender women living with HIV (WLWH) are disproportionately impacted by cervical cancer. Nevertheless, disparities in uptake and implementation of cancer services persist sub-Saharan Africa, where population-level estimates screening coverage remain scarce. Methods We pooled data from nationally representative Population-based Impact Assessment (PHIA) surveys conducted Ethiopia, Malawi, Rwanda, Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe (2015–2019). After estimating the prevalence self-reported...

Twenty one samples of argan oil different geographical origin (Tidzi, Tamanar, Benaiznassen, Ait mzal, Baha, Ighrem, Aoulouz) and/or prepared following a process (traditional, mechanical, or industrial) were collected and their physico-chemical properties analyzed. Sample acidity was found between 0.14 1.40%, unsaponifiable matter 0.34 0.79%, saponification value 180.0 199.6, highest peroxide index 5.72 meq/kg, refractive (20 degrees C) 1.4644 1.4705, UV absorption at 270 nm 0.228 0.605....

The present study investigated the oxidative stability of threemarketed types edible argan oil. Edible oil is prepared by pressing slightly roasted kernels peeled fruit. High quality exclusively using mechanical presses. However, hand-extracted still artisanally produced and can be found in local markets. In this latter case, goat-peeled fruit sometimes introduced production chain even though resulting notoriously unsatisfactory quality. press-extracted, hand-extracted, derived was analyzed...

Consistent use of Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP), a biomedical intervention for HIV seronegative persons, has been shown to significantly decrease acquisition. Black women are viable population segment consider PrEP as their incidence is overwhelmingly higher than all other groups.

On December 18, 2010, Iran increased domestic energy and agricultural prices by up to 20 times, making it the first major oil-exporting country reduce substantially implicit subsidies.This paper reviews economic technical issues involved in planning early implementation of reform, including transfers households public relations campaign that were critical success reform.It also looks at reform from a chronological standpoint, particular final phases preparation.The concludes an overview main...

In the United States (U.S.), Black women in perinatal period disproportionately experience higher rates of mental health challenges like anxiety and postpartum depression. Digital platforms present promising opportunities for support. However, extent to which these tools are being adopted satisfying needs amongst is underexplored. To address this gap, we surveyed 101 pregnant U.S. Despite prior work showing low utilization services women, our results show more than half participants using...

Alwana olive oil is a special product of the people from mountains Morocco. To produce this oil, prior to pressing procedure, olives are roasted at up 130 °C, which leads formation typical roasty and nutty aroma. It can be expected that process, strongly differs usual production technic virgin impact chemical composition. We observed roasting process has no influence on fatty acid sterol composition olive. Concentration in α-tocopherol underwent slight decrease (from 93 91%) whereas...

The potential of 2-methyloxolane (2-MeO) as an alternative solvent to extract cactus seed oil was compared, in qualitative and quantitative terms, with that n-hexane, a commonly used for the extraction edible or cosmetic oils. With 2-MeO, yield higher (9.55 ± 0.12 g/100 g) than extracted n-hexane (8.86 0.25 g). chemical physical parameters quality indices (acidity, peroxide value extinction coefficients (K 232 K 270 ) were found be much n-hexane. A suitable refining scheme will have applied,...
