Article Synopsis
  • Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a major global health issue that can progress to more serious conditions like non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and liver cancer (HCC), but the underlying molecular mechanisms are still not fully understood.
  • This study focuses on how microRNA-122 regulates pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) and its impact on inflammatory and autophagic proteins during NAFLD development using both cell cultures and animal models.
  • Results indicate that free fatty acids (FFAs) reduce miR-122 levels, leading to increased PKM2 and inflammation while suppressing proteins related to autophagy, highlighting the complex interactions that contribute to NA

Article Synopsis
  • - Cerebral brain abscesses are rare but serious, especially in immunocompromised people, and can often imitate psychiatric disorders, complicating their diagnosis.
  • - A case study involves a 47-year-old HIV-positive woman with a psychiatric history who showed unusual symptoms like catatonia, leading to a diagnosis of a large brain abscess after imaging revealed significant issues.
  • - The patient received immediate treatment, including surgery, and showed improvement, highlighting the need for thorough diagnostic procedures and multidisciplinary care in similar cases to ensure better health outcomes.

In the current study, the nutritional value of various hydrolyzed feather meals (HFM) was investigated in two separate experiments (an and an experiment). The experiment was based on a completely randomized design with five replications and seven treatments including (1) Raw feather meal (RFM), (2) HFM by autoclave (Au-HFM), (3) Fermented feather meal (FFM) by (Bl-FFM), (4) FFM by (Bs-FFM), (5) FFM by (An-FFM), (6) FFM by  +  +  (Co-FFM), and (7) HFM by an enzyme (En-HFM). The highest pepsin-pancreatin and apparent ileal CP digestibility were observed in Co-FFM, and the lowest amount belonged to RFM (P < 0.

This study evaluated the environmental and economic impacts of substituting synthetic media with greywater for cultivating microalgae in the biofuel production process. Life cycle assessment (LCA) and technoeconomic assessment (TEA) were employed to compare the impacts of two scenarios - one containing bold's basal (BB) media and another containing greywater as growth mediums for microalgae cultivation. Scenarios 1 and 2 mitigated 1.

The microalgae-based wastewater treatment is a promising technique that contribute to achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs), such as SDG-6, "Clean Water and Sanitation". However, it is strongly influenced by the initial composition of wastewater. In this study, the impact of initial organics and nutrient concentration on the removal of total organic carbon (TOC), total carbon (TC), ammonium (NH), total nitrogen (TN), and phosphate (PO) from greywater using native polyculture microalgae was explored.
