Development and nutritional evaluation of pomegranate peel enriched bars.

Pomegranate peel powder is used as a functional ingredient in the development of nutritional bars. Pomegranate (Punica granatum) is well known fruit belongs to punicaceae family having multiple health benefits, not only limited to its edible parts but also in its non-edible parts mostly the peel. Fruit wastes are rich source of nutrients, and can be used for the development of functional food products.

Hypopituitarism Screening in Patients with Traumatic Brain Injury in the Primary Care Setting at the Minneapolis Veterans Affairs Health Care System.

Introduction: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a significant health issue among veterans and poses a substantial risk for pituitary injury. Consensus guidelines recommend that patients who have sustained a TBI should undergo a baseline pituitary hormonal evaluation after the primary brain insult. Patients with abnormal screening test results or with symptoms of hypopituitarism should be referred to endocrinology for a full assessment.

Common Mycorrhizal Networks Enhance Growth and Nutrient Uptake in Non-Mycorrhizal Chenopodium album via Parthenium hysterophorus.

Common mycorrhizal networks (CMNs) facilitate nutrient transfer between plants, but their role in supporting non-mycorrhizal species remains largely unexplored. This study investigates the effect of CMNs on the growth and nutrient uptake of the non-mycorrhizal plant Chenopodium album, in association with the mycorrhizal plant Parthenium hysterophorus. The treatments included: C.

Exploring gene regulatory interaction networks and predicting therapeutic molecules among major depressive disorder and bipolar disorder: A bioinformatics approach.

Background: Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and Bipolar Disorder (BD) are two common psychiatric disorders that have a substantial influence on people's mental health and quality of life. The identification of regulatory networks and potential drugs for both disorders enhances our understanding of these conditions and facilitates the development of targeted and effective therapies.

Methods: This study employed network-based methods to identify gene regulatory networks and potential therapeutics for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and Bipolar Disorder (BD).

Expression of bluetongue virus full-length VP7 protein in insect cells and its diagnostic utility for detection of antibodies to the virus infection.

Bluetongue (BT) is a vector-borne viral disease of multiple domestic and wild ruminants across the globe. The VP7 protein of bluetongue virus (BTV) is the major immune-dominant structural protein that is conserved across the BTV serotypes and therefore, targeted for the development of immuno-diagnostics for BT. In this study, full-length recombinant VP7 protein (rVP7) of BTV-1 was expressed in Trochoplusia ni derived insect cells (Tn5) using codon-optimized synthetic gene construct through baculovirus expression system.
