Rahman, Sameerah This study evaluated the in vitro antioxidant activity, total phenolic content (TPC), and total flavonoid content (TFC) of ethanolic guava (Psidium guajava L.) leaf extract collected from Savar, Dhaka. The extract showed concentration-dependent DPPH radical scavenging activity, with an IC₅₀ value of 169.04 µg/mL, TPC of 471.17 ± 50.40 mg GAE/g, and TFC of 132.01 ± 11.17 mg QE/g. Strong correlations between antioxidant activity and phenolic and flavonoid contents suggest their contribution to the extract’s antioxidant properties. The findings highlight guava leaves as an inexpensive source of natural antioxidants and support further investigation into their therapeutic potential.

Among 301 respondents, NCD knowledge was generally good (mean score: 10.02/13), but unhealthy behaviors were common, including low physical activity, prolonged screen time, insufficient sleep, academic stress, and tobacco use. Older age, Pharmacy study, and family history of NCDs were associated with higher knowledge. The findings highlight a gap between NCD awareness and healthy lifestyle practices and support targeted health education and preventive interventions.

The extract showed concentration-dependent antioxidant activity, with an IC50 value of 99.59 μg/mL, while TPC and TFC were 10.91 mg GAE/g and 19.60 mg QE/g, respectively. The findings suggest that Musa balbisiana bracts are a promising source of natural antioxidant compounds with potential applications in functional foods, nutraceuticals, food preservation, and pharmaceutical research.

The rats were divided into control and treatment groups and monitored for swelling, redness, movement, paw edema, arthritis scores, radiographic changes, and inflammatory markers. Arthritis-induced rats showed noticeable joint inflammation, reduced movement, paw edema, and bone erosion compared with controls. Although IL-6 and CRP levels remained below the detection thresholds in the tested samples, the overall findings indicate that the induction protocol successfully produced an inflammatory arthritis phenotype suitable for evaluating anti-arthritic treatments.
