The current study investigated the impact of nutmeg essential oil (NEO) and tea tree essential oil (TTEO) on the preservation of raw chicken fillets during nine days of refrigerated storage study. The primary aim was to explore the antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of these essential oils (EOs) and assess their ability to extend the shelf life of poultry meat. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was utilized to identify the chemical compositions of NEO and TTEO, revealing the presence of compounds like myristicin and terpenoids, known for their antimicrobial and antioxidant activities.

- The study aimed to investigate the prevalence of autoimmune encephalitis and coexisting viral infections in children with acute encephalitic syndrome (AES).
- It found that out of 867 children examined, 4.2% were diagnosed with autoimmune encephalitis, primarily associated with anti-NMDAR antibodies, while 47.1% had evidence of viral infections, particularly HSV.
- The researchers concluded that autoimmune encephalitis may be more common than previously reported and emphasized the importance of early diagnosis and treatment for better outcomes in affected children.
Natural and sustainable plant-based antioxidants and antimicrobials are highly desirable for improving food quality and safety. The present investigation assessed the antimicrobial and antioxidant properties of active components from L. (herb) roots, also known as Ratanjot root.

Our results reveal that the presence of both Li and Gd makes it sensitive to both gamma and thermal neutrons. The applicability of LiAlO:Gd for beta, gamma, and neutrons in both thermally stimulated and optically stimulated modes has been verified by extensive experiments followed by kinetic parametric evaluation with theoretical calculations.
