The Effect of Incorporating Fermented Elderberries ( into Bread: Quality, Shelf Life, and Biological Enhancement.

Elderberries, known for their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral properties, have traditionally been used to prevent and treat infections and boost the immune system. By increasing the quantity and quality of certain compounds, fermentation can potentially make them more effective as food additives. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of incorporating fermented elderberries on the bioactivity and shelf life of a traditional bread.

A video clip detailing the patient journey on the day of oocyte retrieval in addition to the standard of care: a randomized controlled trial.

Study Question: Can a video clip detailing the patient journey decrease women's anxiety on the day of their first oocyte retrieval?

Summary Answer: The video clip does not affect women's anxiety on the day of their first oocyte retrieval.

What Is Known Already: IVF triggers anxious reactions in women and men, with peaks of anxiety on the day of (especially the first) oocyte retrieval as shown by reliable questionnaires and biomarkers of distress. Several trials showed that videos with preparatory information reduce women's and men's anxiety for out-patient procedures.

Patterns of physical activity and sedentary behavior among Brazilian schoolchildren: analysis based on types of behavior.

Background: Studies on physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB) patterns contribute to planning specifically-population-targeted health interventions. However, most do not assess PA and SB based on types. The current study identified patterns of PA and SB based on types and their association with demographic factors (age, school shift) and weekly attendance in physical education classes (PEC) among schoolchildren.

NEAT1 in Ovarian Cancer: A Key Regulator of Tumor Progression, Follicular Fluid Dynamics, and Therapeutic Resistance.

Nuclear enriched abundant transcript 1 (NEAT1), a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), is a critical player in the pathogenesis and progression of ovarian cancer. Its abnormal expression in patients' follicular fluid (FF), granulosa cells, and oocytes has been linked to key processes such as cell proliferation, apoptosis, nuclear maturation, and follicle development. NEAT1's regulation of oocyte maturation and its influence on tumor dynamics and cellular communication within the FF is well-established.
