The food industry is challenged to develop nutritious and palatable foods that satisfy older people's needs. So, this work aimed to study the incorporation of nanoemulsions enriched with vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids into two desserts (yogurt and fruit puree), characterizing their nutritional profile, viscosity, and color properties and evaluating their in vitro bioaccessibility and sensory response. The results showed that adding nanoemulsion modified the nutrition profile of desserts due to increasing lipids and calories.

Recent Findings: Long-term results of ESS in CRSwNP can be branched in PROMs and other objective measurements. Despite the heterogeneity of reported outcomes make it difficult to perform comparisons and meta-analysis, ESS improves PROMs, including symptoms, QOL and olfaction.
Article Synopsis
- Caligidosis, caused by copepod ectoparasites in salmon farming, poses a significant challenge due to their ability to adhere to fish skin using chitin filaments.
- This study focused on antimicrobial peptides found in salmon mucosal secretions, finding that hepcidin and piscidin could bind to chitin, although piscidin showed hemolytic effects at lower concentrations.
- Hepcidin effectively reduced the infestation of the nauplius II stage of the parasite by 50% at a concentration of 50 µM, suggesting that fish-derived antimicrobial peptides can target the exoskeleton of copepods and help combat parasitic issues in salmon farming.
Article Synopsis
- The study examines how architectural design parameters of 3D-printed polymer scaffolds—specifically porosity, height-to-diameter (H/D) ratio, and pore size—affect their mechanical properties, particularly compressive strength.
- Controlled experiments were conducted by varying these parameters, revealing that both porosity and H/D ratio significantly influence the apparent elastic modulus and bulk yield stress of the materials.
- While pore size did not greatly affect mechanical properties, understanding these parameters can aid in optimizing bone scaffold development for better biomechanical performance.
Background: Evidence regarding long-term postoperative follow-up of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) patients is scarce in the literature. The objective of the present study was to report long-term 12-year postoperative outcomes for CRSwNP patients.
Methods: CRSwNP patients were prospectively followed after endoscopic sinus surgery.
