Spodoptera littoralis Boisduval (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) and Spodoptera exigua Hübner (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) pose substantial threats to many crops, necessitating the exploration of biopesticides as potential chemical alternatives. One alternative is baculoviruses; however, their instability in the field has hindered their widespread use. Host plant phylloplane affects baculovirus activity at varying levels in different host plants.

Previous research on animal models indicates that trehalose can improve bone fracture healing by inhibiting the inflammatory cascade. We hope that trehalose can accelerate bone fracture healing in humans, alleviate pain, and ultimately enhance the individual's quality of life.

- Peri-trochanteric fractures are common in older adults with osteoporosis and lead to significant health issues, including pain, immobility, and increased mortality, especially in Nordic countries.
- The study is a randomized, double-blind trial involving 64 patients to test the effects of trehalose, a sugar with potential wound healing benefits, against a placebo over 12 weeks, monitoring inflammation and healing.
- Ethical approval has been obtained from Shahid Beheshti University, with the trial registered in the Iranian Clinical Trials database for transparency and accountability.
Article Synopsis
- Chemotherapy-induced mucositis is a common and painful side effect in cancer treatment, necessitating effective solutions to alleviate its severity and duration.
- This study investigated the effectiveness of Mucosamin spray as an additional preventive measure against oral mucositis in pediatric patients undergoing chemotherapy.
- Results showed no significant difference in the incidence or severity of mucositis between the groups, but the intervention group experienced a significantly shorter healing time.
Osteoporosis is a widespread chronic condition. Although standard treatments are generally effective, they are frequently constrained by side effects and the risk of developing drug resistance. A promising area of research is the investigation of extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes, microvesicles, and apoptotic bodies, which play a crucial role in bone metabolism.
