Essential Oil from Leaves: Using Nanotechnology to Make a Promising Eco-Friendly Bio-Based Pesticide from Medicinal Plant Waste.

Nano-emulsions of essential oils (EO) and their chemical constituents are promising raw materials for the ecological control of . L. is a plant known for the properties of its rhizome, which is used in food, health, and hygiene products.

Effects of Stocking Density in the Pen and Lairage Time on Blood Stress Indicators, Skin Lesion Scores, and Pork Meat Quality.

The objective of this study was to assess the effects of stocking density in the pen and lairage time before slaughter on blood stress indicators, skin lesions, and pork meat quality traits. A total of 1920 immunocastrated male pigs were shipped to a slaughterhouse. In order to maintain the proposed stocking densities, 72 pigs out of the 1920 animals were removed across loads from the experiment.

Immunity and neuroinflammation in early stages of life and epilepsy.

The immune system is crucial for the correct brain development, and recent findings also point toward central control of immune response. As the immune system is not fully developed at birth, the early years become an important window for infections and for the development of epilepsy. Both central and even peripheral inflammation may impact brain function, promoting opening of the blood-brain/blood and cerebrospinal barriers and allowing entry of immune cells and cytokines, which in turn may affect neuron function and connections.

Human-centered design and maternity care: is this a possible interplay?-a systematic review.

This paper argues that putting women at the center of care requires the right balance between adequate clinical care and human-centered design (HCD) approaches. Enhancing their experience during the maternity journey would make it possible to address societal challenges and effectively achieve the humanization of maternity care. Thus, the aim is to investigate the interplay between human-centered design and maternity care through a literature review.

A high-fat diet changes the interaction of the extracellular matrix, cytokines, and growth factors in gastric ulcer repair.

Background: Obesity is characterized by persistent low-grade inflammation that alters the gastrointestinal system and healing process. The link between obesity and the prevalence of stomach ulcers has not yet been fully established.

Aims: We investigated the healing features of gastric lesions in male Swiss mice fed a standard diet (SD) or high-fat diet (HFD) using morphometric, biochemical, and molecular parameters.
