This study investigated pumpkin seed protein (PSP) as a carrier for astaxanthin (AST). Interaction mechanisms revealed through fluorescence spectroscopy and molecular docking, showed that hydrogen bonds and Van der Waals forces form the PSP-AST complex. AST binding altered PSP's secondary structure, increasing α-helix (7.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the health, metabolic, and behavioral impacts of perinatal cannabidiol (CBD) exposure on female mice and their offspring into adulthood, highlighting the lack of research on this widely used supplement.
- Results indicate that maternal CBD exposure can negatively affect offspring survival and postnatal development, particularly in males, while also producing various sex-dependent metabolic and behavioral changes in adults.
- The findings suggest CBD exposure during pregnancy and lactation influences behaviors such as anxiety and obsessive-compulsive traits, with significant implications for understanding the safety and effects of CBD use during pregnancy.
Introduction: A large epiphrenic esophageal diverticulum can cause troublesome symptoms for patients, including dysphagia and reflux, ultimately, leading to debilitating weight loss.
Case Description/technique Description: We present a case of a 68-year-old female with a history of systemic lupus erythematosus presented with a large epiphrenic esophageal diverticulum with dysphagia, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and associated weight loss. The patient underwent a robotic-assisted laparoscopic epiphrenic diverticulectomy with esophageal myotomy.
The natural evolution of microorganisms, as well as the inappropriate use of medicines, have accelerated the problem of drug resistance to many of the antibiotics employed today. Colistin, a lipopeptide antibiotic used as a last resort against multi-resistant strains, has also begun to present these challenges. Therefore, this study was focused on establishing whether colistin associated with chitosan nanoparticles could improve its antibiotic activity on an extremely resistant clinical isolate of , which is a clinically relevant Gram-negative bacterium.
