Peptic Ulcer Disease Treatment Using Herbal Plants: Harnessing Ethnobotanical Studies for Clinical Application

Journal of Clinical Pharmacy and Therapeutics, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) is a major gastrointestinal disorder associated with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection, nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drug (NSAID) use, and impaired mucosal defense. Ethnobotanical studies have revealed that the heavy reliance on medicinal plants as a treatment option for ulcers is usually guided by ...

Determination of Natural Madder Dyes Using UV‐Vis and Near‐Infrared Spectroscopy for Rapid Industrial Quality Control

Journal of Spectroscopy, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Natural madder dye, together with turmeric and indigo, is one of the most widely used plant‐derived colorants in sustainable textile production. However, significant variability in raw materials and processing routes often leads to unstable dyeing performance and limits industrial standardization. Rapid and reliable quantitative determination of active
