Benefit of Asian pigmented rice bioactive compound and its implication in breast cancer: a systematic review.

Utilizing the bioactive compounds found in pigmented rice might significantly reduce the risk of breast cancer. This study aims to systematically review existing literature on the benefit of Asian pigmented rice bioactive compounds and their implication in breast cancer. Searches of the literature were conducted in two databases (Scopus and PubMed) for a systematic review.

Terbutaline for acute tocolysis prior to emergency caesarean delivery for suspected foetal compromise.

Introduction: Terbutaline has been used as a foetal resuscitation measure to improve the intrapartum foetal heart rate abnormalities and neonatal outcome for suspected foetal compromise. Unfortunately, till date, the available data are limited to draw any recommendation.

Material And Methods: This was a double-blind, placebocontrolled trial conducted among women planned for emergent caesarean delivery for suspected foetal compromise where 100 were randomised to receive subcutaneous terbutaline or placebo.

Glycerol waste to value added products and its potential applications.

The rapid industrial and economic development runs on fossil fuel and other energy sources. Limited oil reserves, environmental issues, and high transportation costs lead towards carbon unbiased renewable and sustainable fuel. Compared to other carbon-based fuels, biodiesel is attracted worldwide as a biofuel for the reduction of global dependence on fossil fuels and the greenhouse effect.

High methoxyl pectin extracts from Hylocereus polyrhizus's peels: Extraction kinetics and thermodynamic studies.

The effect of physicochemical treatment on pectin yield, degree of esterification, along with the kinetics and thermodynamics characteristics was investigated in the present study. Several extraction parameters were observed to have impacted the yield and degree of esterification significantly, and the best extraction condition was as follows: agitation rate of 250 rpm, temperature of 70 °C, extraction time of 120 min, pH 2, and liquid to solid ratio of 10 v/w which has resulted in 28.20% of pectin yield, with DE (degree of esterification) of 57.

Hylocereus polyrhizus peel's high-methoxyl pectin: A potential source of hypolipidemic agent.

In the present study, high-methoxyl pectin (HMP) was extracted from Hylocereus polyrhizus peel's using physico-chemical process. In addition, the hypolipidemic activity of HMP was investigated at different concentration and time corresponding to its adsorption ability. FTIR and contact angle analysis were used to determine the sorbent characterization.
