The aim of this study was to formulate and evaluate
an emulgel of ibuprofen for enhanced topical
delivery and therapeutic efficacy. Emulgels, a
combination of emulsions and gels, offer the
advantages of both gel and cream forms, providing
a smooth, non-greasy texture while facilitating
improved drug penetration. Ibuprofen, a
nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), was
selected due to its widespread use in the treatment
of pain and inflammation. Various emulgel
formulations were developed using different
concentrations of carbopol 940 as a gelling agent,
and an oil-in-water emulsion system as the base.
The emulgels were characterized for physical
appearance, pH, viscosity, drug content,
spreadability, and stability. The in vitro release
profile was assessed using Franz diffusion cells,
while the ex vivo permeation studies were
conducted on rat skin to determine the extent of
ibuprofen absorption. The formulations exhibited
good spreadability, high drug content, and
appropriate viscosity, and showed significant
improvement in drug release compared to
conventional gel forms. The stability studies
indicated that the formulation remained stable
under various storage conditions. The study
demonstrates that ibuprofen emulgel can be a
promising alternative for topical application,
offering controlled release, enhanced skin
permeation, and better patient compliance in
managing inflammatory conditions.

Authors: Vaishnavi Abasaheb Kardule , Sonawane Miss. Sonali
Published: January 2025

Industry 4.0 has been around for the last 10 years,
improving businesses but also having its limits.
Now, Industry 5.0 has arrived to address those
shortcomings. Smart factories are boosting
productivity, but Industry 4.0 has its restrictions.
This paper talks about the opportunities,
challenges, and future research for Industry 5.0.
Industry 5.0 is changing the way we think about
technology by focusing more on collaboration
between humans and machines, rather than just on
technology itself. It aims to improve customer
satisfaction with personalized products. In today's
business world, Industry 5.0 is crucial for gaining a
competitive edge and boosting economic growth
for factories. The paper examines the potential uses
of Industry 5.0, discussing its definition and the
advanced technologies needed for this revolution. It
also covers applications in areas like healthcare,
supply chains, manufacturing, and cloud
manufacturing. The technologies explored include
big data analytics, the Internet of Things,
collaborative robots, block chain, digital twins, and
future 6G systems. The paper also looks at the
challenges companies face in managing the
interaction between robots and humans on
assembly lines.

Chocolate is often considered the most beloved
food among children, whereas medicine is typically
viewed as unpleasant. The aim of this study is to
develop and design a chocolate product that serves
as both a nutritious treat and a supplement with
antioxidant and anti-cancer properties. Chocolate is
typically made from cocoa combined with fat and
finely powdered coconut sugar to create a solid
confectionery. Psidium guajava, a medicinal herb,
offers various health benefits such as antitussive,
antioxidant properties, heart disease prevention,
and skin treatment. Black sesame, known for its
ability to improve blood pressure and act as an antiaging agent, was also incorporated. This study
focuses on formulating chocolate with aqueous
extracts of black sesame and guava, which provide
antitussive and anti-diabetic effects. Chocolate, a
versatile food, can be mixed with different
ingredients to create various flavors and textures.
Therefore, the goal of this study is to prepare a
chocolate formulation containing black sesame and
guava, aiming to enhance patient compliance and
therapeutic benefits
Exploring the Impact of Social Media on Youth's Social Skills and Interpersonal Relationships
Authors: Payasi Dr. Sanjay , Jain Dr. Vikas
Published: January 2025

Social media platforms have become a central part
of youth culture, profoundly influencing how
young people communicate and build relationships.
While social media offers opportunities for
connection, it also raises concerns about its impact
on youth’s social skills and the quality of their
interpersonal relationships. This study explores the
effects of social media use on the development of
social skills, including communication, empathy,
and conflict resolution, among youth aged 13-19.
By employing a mixed-method approach that
includes content analysis, experimental exposure,
and surveys, this research examines how social
media influences youth’s ability to interact in faceto-face settings and maintain healthy relationships.
A sample of 600 participants from the U.S., U.K.,
and India provided data through structured surveys
and interviews. Statistical tools, including
regression analysis, ANOVA, and thematic
analysis, were used to evaluate the impact of social
media on social skills and interpersonal
relationships. The findings reveal that high levels
of social media use are associated with decreased
face-to-face communication skills, increased social
anxiety, and difficulties in forming and maintaining
close relationships. This study highlights the need
for balanced social media use and interventions that
promote healthy communication skills among
youth. Future research should focus on developing
educational programs that encourage offline
interactions and foster social skills development.
Lateritic Soil Stabilization using Granular Materials; a Comparative Study
Authors: Ozuligbo, Ji Ozuligbo, Ji , Enueze, Jbc Enueze, Jbc , Nwadiani, Ve Nwadiani, Ve
Published: January 2025

Soil mixtures have been used
extensively in developed countries to construct
great lengths of road when other materials like
cement and lime were not either available,
developed or widely used. Laterite being readily
available in many places can be mixed with sand or
quarry dust to improve its strength, stability and
other properties for this purpose.This research work
involves the improvement of the engineering
properties of three samples of laterite soil by
stabilization with quarry dust or with sharp river
sand. The paper sets out to investigate and compare
the improvement in the relevant properties of three
samples of laterites when they are mixed with sand
or quarry dust and compacted using different
compactive efforts (British Standard Light – BSL
and British Standard Heavy- BSH). The three
samples used were collected at different locations
in Awka, Anambra state. The tests carried out
include: moisture content, specific gravity, grain
size distribution, Atterberg’s limits, compaction
and unconfined compressive strength tests both
before and after adding quarry dust or sharp river
sand at varying percentages (0%, 10%, 20%, 30%,
40% and 50%). The results obtained showed that
for all types of laterites tested, the increase in the
proportion of sand or quarry dust to laterites has the
effect of increasing the maximum dry density,
specific gravity and reducing the optimum moisture
content, the unconfined compressive strength and
energy absorption capacity. The optimum sand or
quarry dust percentage for maximizing most of the
parameters measured was found to be between 30%
and 40% of the admixture. Comparison of the
results obtained shows that quarry dust has a
greater impact in the improvement of the strength
of the natural soil than sand
Research on the Economy of Multimodal Transport Considering Low Carbon and Time Cost
Authors: Fan chao Fan chao
Published: January 2025

In order to verify the high efficiency
and low carbon nature of multimodal transport, this
paper, according to the main components and
network characteristics of multimodal transport,
takes container multimodal transport as the
research object, and comprehensively considers the
carbon emission and transportation time in the
transportation process. To minimize the
comprehensive cost of container multimodal
transport, the comprehensive cost model of
multimodal transport including time, transportation
and replacement cost is established. At the same
time, combined with the actual calculation of
examples, the design and analysis of the
multimodal transport scheme. As for the
transportation time, this paper introduces the
monthly depreciation rate of goods and transforms
the transportation time into the time cost. It can be
concluded that with the increase of the monthly
depreciation rate of goods, the multimodal
transport mode is more economical and efficient
than the single transportation mode. For the
problem of carbon emission, this paper will
quantify the carbon emission, it can be found that
in the multimodal transportation, the reasonable
connection of transportation mode can greatly
reduce the carbon emission in the transportation
process, so as to achieve low carbon transportation

Exploring the Power of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) for Image Generation: A Case Study on the MNIST Dataset
Authors: Jeganathan Balachandar
Published: January 2025

This paper provides a
comprehensive examination of Generative
Adversarial Networks (GANs), a groundbreaking
deep learning architecture that has transformed the
field of image generation. GANs consist of two
neural networks—the generator and the
discriminator—that engage in a competitive
process to produce highly realistic images by
learning patterns from existing data. This study
highlights several key applications of GANs,
including text-to-image generation, superresolution, neural style transfer, andimage
completion. These applications have significant
implications for various industries, such as medical
imaging, creative content generation, and data
augmentation for machinelearning models.
The practical implementation section utilizes the
MNIST dataset to illustrate how GANs can
generate new, realistic images of handwritten
digits. This implementation underscores the
importance of data preprocessing, such as
normalizationandshuffling, in improving model
accuracy and performance. The paper also explores
the critical role of GPU accelerationin speeding up
the training process and the selection of optimal
loss functions, particularly the cross-entropy loss,
to enhance the discriminator's ability to
differentiate between real and generated data.
Moreover, the paper addresses the inherent
challenges in training GANs, such as mode
collapse and the extensive computational resources
required. Solutions and best practices, including
advanced optimization techniques and
checkpointing, are discussed to ensure stable and
efficient model training. The results demonstrate
the remarkable ability of GANs to generate images
that closely resemble real data, with promising
applications in the fields of imaging systems,
healthcare, and beyond. Future directions for
research and emerging trends in GAN technology
are also outlined.
Social Sciences in Crisis
Authors: Dhaouadi Mahmoud
Published: January 2025

DHAOUADI: Based on my own observations and impressions, one talksmore about sociology as a discipline having a crisis, than about psychologyor political science. How do you respond to that?SMELSER: I heard this kind of talk among sociologists. Among thequestions raised in their frequent conversations are: What is the fieldabout? What are the boundaries about? Is it (sociology) fragmented? Is itpracticed ... etc?In that disciplinary sense, every field in the social sciences has aproblem to some degree. Economics, even has a problem about the con -flict between neoclassical economics and the various branches of this discipline,which internally , has become even more complex. They don'tbeat their breast quite as much about this as sociologists, but if you talkto anybody in the field they will say: "Well, we have no unity, we haveno consensus; it's splitting up into too many specializations." We find thesame kind of talk in sociology. Realistically, I think that sociology canprobably be best compared with political science, in the sense that it issolidly established in the university system, so its organization is solidand its professional association is solid. Despite the conflict I mentionedearlier, it is recognized in the agencies that give money to the field, it'srecognized by publishers as being a field, and no one seems to be desertingit ...
Muslim Women and the Politics of Representation
Authors: Zine Jasmin
Published: January 2025

This paper examines the politics of knowledge production as itrelates to Muslim women in western literar y traditions and contemporaryfeminist writing, with a view to understanding thepolitical, ideological, and economic mediations that have historicallyframed these representations. The meta-narrative of theMuslim woman has shifted from the bold queens of medieval literatureto colonial images of the seraglio's veiled, secluded, andoppressed women. Contemporary feminist writing and popularculture have reproduced the colonial motifs of Muslim women,and these have regained currency in the aftermath of9/1 l.Drawing upon the work of Mohja Kahf, this paper begins bymapping the evolution of the Muslim woman archetype inwestern literary traditions. The paper then examines how somecontemporary feminist literature has reproduced in new waysthe discursive tropes that have had historical currency inMuslim women's textual representation. The analysis is attentiveto the ways in which the cultural production of knowledgeabout Muslim women has been implicated historically by therelations of power between the Muslim world and the West.
The Erdogan Experiment in Turkey Is the Future
Authors: Fuller Graham E.
Published: January 2025

Response to Ariel Cohen: In his answer to question 1, Ariel Cohen offers apretty good definition of a moderate Muslim, one that I can subscribe to asfar as it goes. The problem comes more with his definition of radical. If allarmed resistance to foreign occupation is to be condemned – which over thecourse of history has widespread acceptance as a legitimate action – then ofcourse large numbers of Muslim activists fall into the category of radical.Surely Cohen would not wish to suggest that those guerrilla activities thathave led to the founding of such countries as the United States, Israel,Kenya, South Africa, and Algeria via anti-colonial struggles are all unacceptablebecause they passed through a certain violent phase – includingelements of what might be terror. I agree with him, as do most Muslims,that in principle, killing innocent civilians constitutes an act of terrorism.But that holds true whether it takes place from suicide bombers at a distanceof five feet or from 5,000 feet when “legitimate government” bombs aredropped on resistance forces and surrounding civilians.Sadly, much of this debate these days really comes down to the specifictragic events currently unfolding in Israel and Palestine, in which eachside seeks the moral high ground for its own version of the issue. If eitherthe Israelis or the Palestinians seek an exclusive monopoly on that moralhigh ground, then we will lose all moral clarity and will simply be engagedin propaganda exchanges.The reality is that the current American dragnet of anti-terrorism, aswell as that of many other countries, sweeps excessively wide in quicklymarking individuals as “radical,” and hence “dangerous” or “linked to terrorism.”Here in this forum, we cannot just sift the ideological purity of ourfavorite radicals or moderates. I would only suggest that if we define politicallyactive Islamists like Tariq Ramadan as “dangerous” and beyond thepale of acceptance for dialogue, then we are indeed defining ourselves outof any serious dialogue with important and influential Islamist leadership.Such narrowness of vision coupled with a lack of respect for human rightsin the investigation of Muslims is what has created the widespread impressionthat the United States is engaged in a “war against Islam.” We cannotafford to leave that impression ...
Moderate Muslims Are the Key to the Future of Islam and American-Muslim Relations
Authors: Khan M. A. Muqtedar
Published: January 2025

I found that in Ariel Cohen’s responses, the devil is, so to speak, in the details.I definitely agree with his understanding of what characteristics constitute amoderate Muslim – eschewing violence, and advocating tolerance and pluralism.But when he begins to identify moderate Muslims specifically byname, I find that he mentions individuals who do not exactly represent themainstream Muslim communities, wherever they are. Does that mean thatmoderation lies only on the margins of Muslim societies? Surely, this is contraryto the more widely held view that a small minority in the margins advocatesextremism in the Muslim world while the vast majority is moderate.This is empirically true everywhere, even in Iraq, where terrorism and insurgencyis practiced by a small minority of the smallest minority (Sunnis).Cohen claims that there is a “near-consensus” that Tariq Ramadan is asupporter of the Ikhwan (the Muslim Brotherhood). I am afraid that mostIkhwanis would disagree with this, as would most Islamic modernists whovalue Ramadan’s views. Many prominent scholars of Islam and the MiddleEast, people who have actually read his books and followed his career, havehailed him as a progressive and moderate voice.In defense of the American government, Cohen makes two claims. First,he asserts that the American government officials are averse to mixing religionand politics. I find this comment surprising, given the extent to whichthe current administration is allied with the Christian Right and its embraceof faith-based initiatives. Second, I agree with his claim that these same officialsare ignorant and incapable of distinguishing between a radical and amoderate. While Bin Laden and al-Zawahiri go free, American governmentofficials are busy harassing prominent moderates like Tariq Ramadan, internationalpeace award-winners like Yusuf Islam, and law-abiding Muslim citizenswho go to Canada for a conference.I agree with Cohen that Islamists must be accommodated under therubric of a democratic constitution that allows as much room to those whoreject Islamism as to those who advocate it. However, I remain perplexed byhis closing remarks in his answer to question 3. He appreciates the value of ...
Toward Women-Friendly Mosques
Authors: Safi Louay
Published: January 2025

The Islamic Social Services Association and Women in Islam have releaseda guide underlining a set of principles rooted in Islamic sources that outlinesthe rights of Muslim women to have full access to the mosque, and callingon Muslim leaders to privilege Islamic principles and values over culturalhabits and traditions. The guide is entitled “Women-Friendly Mosques andCommunity Centers: Working Together to Reclaim Our Heritage.”The guide is a serious attempt to deal with an issue that requires immediateattention by Muslim communities: the place of women in the mosqueand the community. I personally faced the issue for the first time twodecades ago when a Muslim Student Association board member objectedto the inclusion of women in an executive meeting. He based his positionon Islamic tradition, but his argument was found lacking by everyone elseon the board. The meeting went on without him, but with the two sisters.The point of view alluded to above has continued to be well-representedover the years within the Muslim community, particularly among immigrantswho grew up in societies were women did not take an active role insocial life and community development. The point of view that was hostileto the presence of women in the mosque gained more of a following inmany Islamic centers throughout North America as the community grewmore dependent on imams and scholars educated in universities that providea narrow Islamic education.Hammered by Islamic opinions apparently rooted in Islamic sources,many mosques started to erect barriers and drop curtains between the men’sand women’s areas. Eventually, many mosques designated a separate andsecluded area for Muslim women. The strict seclusion often mimickedarrangements adopted by mosques in Muslim countries and was toleratedby women who grew up in a condition of seclusion.American-born Muslim women, including women who grew up inimmigrant families, find it increasingly difficult to accept the regime ofseclusion in the mosque that cuts them off from education and decisionmaking. Some have chosen to stay away and find alternative ways toacquire Islamic education and engage in social services. Others went backto understand Islamic sources and found out that there is no ground for theregime of seclusion.The “Women-Friendly Mosques” guide is the outcome of a quest byMuslim women who made the journey to examine the Islamic sources andto face head-on the arguments employed to perpetuate a regime that cutsMuslim women off from Islamic education and community service. Thejourney placed them in direct contact with the Islamic texts and put them intouch with Muslim scholars. The conclusion they came back with is bothrefreshing and relieving for every Muslim woman who was troubled withthe sense of alienation that she had developed by visiting the center ofIslamic life, whose Prophet, peace be with him, came to reaffirm the spiritualand moral equality of both men and women.
The Excesses of Moderation
Authors: Barlas Asma
Published: January 2025

I was persuaded to come out here at rather short notice by the promise of adialogue on some of the issues professor Bernard Weiss has raised in hisconceptually nuanced and politically canny essay on “moderate Islam.”1 Infact, I found it to be such a compelling articulation of key themes that I havefocused my own comments around it. (So that we are clear, I am referringto the first draft which has a different slant than the later ones.)My commentary engages the political rather than the theologicalaspects of the debate on “moderate Islam” and it specifies the problems andthe possibilities inherent in two very different approaches to Islam, one thatI am calling the official US position and the other simply a Muslim one. Ishould note that the official perspective also reflects the thinking of mostUS citizens who support the administration’s policies, so I use the termbroadly.In part, this focus reflects my disciplinary bias. As someone who comesto the study of religion through the conceptual lens of politics, I am verymindful of the relationship between structures of power and the interpretationand practice of religion both in states where religion and politics intersectin obvious ways and in those that are designed to sustain the separationof church and state. In actuality, of course, religion and politics are inseparableeven in secular states though this does not mean that they are thereforesimply reducible to one another even in states where they exist in opensymbiosis.I make this point because of the tendency to represent Muslim identityas irreducibly religious, as if we cannot have a will, desire, agency, consciousness,or purpose that are fundamentally political just because we lookto religion to lend meaning to our lives. I want, therefore, to recuperatesome sense of Muslim political identity in my talk ...
The Thin Line Between mise en page and mise en abyme: An Examination of the Layout of Multiple Letters on Papyrus (1st-6th Centuries CE)
Authors: Amory Yasmine
Published: January 2025

Although letters are probably the most intensively studied type of documents in papyrology, their material and visual aspects have received little scholarly attention. Yet, in recent years there has been a noticeably growing interest in these aspects and their relation to the content of documents. Among the many examples of preserved letters, this chapter examines the formal features of one specific communication practice, namely the penning of multiple messages on a single support (papyrus, ostracon, or wooden tablet). This practice, which allowed the letter writer to save paper and time, since letters could easily encounter delays or never make it to their final destination, usually involved one individual addressing a group of people living together or in proximity, or a group of close individuals addressing the same person. Personal and social reasons could also come into play in choosing a single writing medium. The examination of this group of texts shows that multiple letters could be arranged according to four different types of layout: (1) by placing one message on top of another; (2) side by side; (3) by using the two faces of the writing medium; or (4) by shaping them into a single letter, in what I suggest we call the “shell letter.” By discussing each of these visual arrangements, this chapter investigates the reasons that may have led the scribe to prefer one layout to another, as well as the relationship between text, layout, and correspondents.
Large-Letter Displayed Writings on Portable Media: Indirect and Direct Evidence from Graeco-Roman and Late Antique Egypt
Authors: Borrelli Bianca
Published: January 2025

This chapter focuses on a formal feature of displayed writings on portable media from Egypt, in particular whitewashed wooden tablets and papyri, namely the use of large letters. By examining a series of case studies that indirectly or directly bear evidence of this kind of script and in the light of some new readings, I attempt to determine whether the use of large letters was influenced by document type and to what extent it fulfilled the need to improve the document’s readability and highlight certain parts of the text. Similarities to writings displayed on durable materials are also investigated.
From Texts on Walls to Walls of Text: The Layout of Late Antique Greek Documents Inscribed on Architecture
Authors: Sitz Anna Marie
Published: January 2025

Late Roman documents inscribed in Greek on wall space in Asia Minor look surprisingly different from earlier Greek documentary inscriptions also inscribed on walls, which were often carved with the text subdivided into neat and orderly columns. By contrast, some late antique documents were carved in continuous lines stretching for metres, and they incorporate disparate visual features, such as kalends dates in Latin cursive letters. Rather than assume that such mise en page and visual characteristics represent the “decline” of classical epigraphic traditions, I trace the dissolution of the older, columnar formatting in documentary inscriptions on architectural wall space and the development of new layouts in Asia Minor, beginning in the Roman imperial period and accelerating in Late Antiquity. I argue that the aesthetic change can be summarized as follows: earlier Greek and Roman inscriptions appear as “texts on walls,” that is, discrete columns of texts written upon a pre-existing wall space. In the late Roman period, inscriptions fill up larger wall spaces without division, transforming these architectural surfaces into “walls of text.” These late antique inscribed documents become visually inseparable from their architectural writing bearers, acting as an “inscribed skin” and adding texture to the buildings. In some cases (e.g. Hagios Polyeuktos in Constantinople), architects or building teams clearly planned space for inscriptions early in the construction process. These changes correspond with the wider aestheticization of inscriptions in the late Roman period.

Authors: Nugroho H Yabes Dwi , Zakiyabarsi Furqan , Paramita Andi Jamiati
Published: January 2025

Ketidakseimbangan kelas (imbalanced class) merupakan tantangan yang sering dihadapi dalam pengembangan model pembelajaran mesin, di mana distribusi data yang tidak merata antara kelas mayoritas dan kelas minoritas dapat menyebabkan bias prediksi terhadap kelas mayoritas. Penelitian ini mengkaji implementasi dua metode penyeimbangan data, yaitu SMOTE-ENN (Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique and Edited Nearest Neighbor) dan Borderline-SMOTE, untuk meningkatkan performa model LightGBM pada dataset Online Shopperâ€™s Purchase Intention. Dataset ini memiliki ketidakseimbangan distribusi antara kelas pembelian (True) dan non-pembelian (False), yang menghambat kemampuan model dalam mendeteksi kelas minoritas. Metode SMOTE-ENN mengombinasikan teknik oversampling untuk menciptakan sampel sintetik pada kelas minoritas dengan penghapusan sampel noise atau salah klasifikasi dari kelas mayoritas, sedangkan Borderline-SMOTE menghasilkan sampel sintetik di sekitar titik-titik kelas minoritas yang berada di dekat batas keputusan (decision boundary). Penelitian ini mengevaluasi performa model LightGBM sebelum dan sesudah penerapan kedua metode dengan menggunakan metrik evaluasi, seperti akurasi, presisi, recall, dan F1-score. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kedua metode berhasil meningkatkan kemampuan model dalam mendeteksi kelas minoritas secara signifikan, dengan SMOTE-ENN memberikan keunggulan dalam menghasilkan distribusi data yang lebih representative dengan akurasi 93% dan Borderline-SMOTE 92%. Penelitian ini membuktikan efektivitas SMOTE-ENN dan Borderline-SMOTE dalam mengatasi ketidakseimbangan kelas

In a context where urban green spaces play a crucial role in improving quality of life and ecological sustainability, this study focuses on the ornamental flora of the University of San Pedro (USP), located in the south-west of Côte d'Ivoire. The aim is to characterise this flora and analyse the typology of the landscaped green spaces, reflecting the university's commitment to a sustainable and aesthetic environment. The methodology adopted was based on an itinerant survey of all the university's green spaces, enabling ornamental species to be identified and listed. The data collected was analysed in terms of floristic composition, biological and morphological types, geographical distribution and ornamental uses, using recognised botanical references. The survey identified 52 ornamental species in 48 genera and 31 families, with the Apocynaceae, Euphorbiaceae and Araceae families predominating. Most of the flora is made up of introduced species (86%), mainly of Asian origin, while local species are poorly represented. Shrubs and bushes dominate, with a variety of decorative characteristics such as foliage, flowers and habit. In addition, a near-threatened species on the IUCN red list has been identified, underlining the ecological importance of these areas.

Severe Anemia in Pregnancy: Risks and Interventions – A Review
Authors: Obeagu Emmanuel Ifeanyi
Published: January 2025

Severe anemia during pregnancy is a major global health concern, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, where it contributes significantly to maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Characterized by hemoglobin levels below 7 g/dL, severe anemia is often driven by nutritional deficiencies, infectious diseases, and genetic disorders, with iron deficiency being the most prevalent cause. This condition exacerbates pregnancy-related risks, increasing the likelihood of complications such as preeclampsia, postpartum hemorrhage, and intrauterine growth restriction. Left unaddressed, severe anemia impairs oxygen delivery to maternal and fetal tissues, adversely impacting immune function and overall health. Effective management of severe anemia in pregnancy relies on a combination of preventative and therapeutic interventions. Iron and folic acid supplementation remain foundational in anemia prevention, with intravenous iron and blood transfusions employed in critical cases. Nutritional education, emphasizing iron-rich diets and vitamin C intake, complements these clinical approaches, while treating underlying infections like malaria and hookworm is essential for reducing anemia incidence in endemic regions. Community-based health programs promoting early prenatal care and routine anemia screening play a crucial role in improving intervention success and patient adherence.
Anemia in Early Pregnancy: Screening, Prevention, and Treatment
Authors: Obeagu Emmanuel Ifeanyi
Published: January 2025

Anemia in early pregnancy (EPA) is a prevalent and significant public health issue that poses serious risks to both maternal and fetal health. Characterized by hemoglobin levels below 11 g/dL, EPA is often caused by nutritional deficiencies, chronic illnesses, and genetic factors. The condition can lead to adverse outcomes, including preterm delivery, low birth weight, and increased maternal morbidity. Early detection through routine screening and the implementation of targeted interventions are critical to mitigating these risks. Prevention strategies for EPA primarily focus on addressing nutritional deficits through dietary modifications, iron and folic acid supplementation, and large-scale food fortification programs. Community-based education further empowers women to make informed decisions about their health. For treatment, approaches are tailored based on anemia etiology and severity, ranging from oral and intravenous iron therapy for iron deficiency anemia to advanced treatments for genetic and chronic disease-related anemia.
