Cymbopogon citratus showing nematicidal activity against Heligmosomoides polygyrus bakeri.

This paper describes a novel in vivo study of Cymbopogon citratus (lemon grass) to assess its anthelmintic activity. To this end, C57BL/6 mice were separated into three groups: G1: uninfected; G2: negative control infected with Heligmosomoides polygyrus bakeri and administered with 3% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO); and G3: infected with H. polygyrus bakeri and treated with C.

Use of dielectric-barrier discharge (DBD) cold plasma for control of bread spoilage fungi.

Bread is a greatly consumed bakery product worldwide. Unfortunately, it is an optimal substrate for fungal contamination and deterioration (aw > 0.95), commonly caused by the genera Penicillium, Paecilomyces, and Aspergillus, resulting in significant economic losses.

Cell death by apoptosis induced by (Schott) Mez essential oil in different cancer cell lines.

Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the world. Plants from genus have been studied for their biological activities. Here we evaluated the antitumor activity of essential oil in several cancer cell lines and its phytochemical composition.

Exploring transparency: A comparative analysis of explainable artificial intelligence techniques in retinography images to support the diagnosis of glaucoma.

Machine learning models are widely applied across diverse fields, including nearly all segments of human activity. In healthcare, artificial intelligence techniques have revolutionized disease diagnosis, particularly in image classification. Although these models have achieved significant results, their lack of explainability has limited widespread adoption in clinical practice.
