L. Leaves: Deciphering Its Antioxidant Bioactives, Biological Activities, Innovative Products, and Safety Aspects.

The prevalence of viral infections, cancer, and diabetes is increasing at an alarming rate around the world, and these diseases are now considered to be the most serious risks to human well-being in the modern period. There is a widespread practice in Asian countries of using papaya leaves ( L.) as herbal medicine, either alone or in combination with prescribed medications, to treat a variety of ailments.

Assessing Lobe-wise Burden of COVID-19 Infection in Computed Tomography of Lungs using Knowledge Fusion from Multiple Datasets.

Segmentation of COVID-19 infection in the lung tissue and its quantification in individual lobes is pivotal to understanding the disease's effect. It helps to determine the disease progression and gauge the extent of medical support required. Automation of this process is challenging due to the lack of a standardized dataset with voxel-wise annotations of the lung field, lobes, and infections like ground-glass opacity (GGO) and consolidation.

Growth studies on microalgae Euglena sanguinea in various natural eco-friendly composite media to optimize the lipid productivity.

The environmental and culture conditions of a potential microalgae Euglena sanguinea were optimized for maximizing the biomass productivity. It was found that the organic macronutrient from poultry litter and organic micronutrient of seaweed extract are very effective to enhance the lipid production. Complementing, these organic nutrients with commercial NPK fertilizer, boost up the lipid productivity by 30.

Lipidomic analysis of plant membrane lipids by direct infusion tandem mass spectrometry.

Plant phospholipids and glycolipids can be analyzed by direct infusion electrospray ionization triple-quadrupole mass spectrometry. A biological extract is introduced in solvent by continuous infusion into the mass spectrometer's electrospray ionization source, where ions are produced from the lipids. For analysis of membrane lipids, a series of precursor and neutral loss scans, each specific for lipids containing a common head group, are obtained sequentially.

Discovery and validation of Barrett's esophagus microRNA transcriptome by next generation sequencing.

Objective: Barrett's esophagus (BE) is transition from squamous to columnar mucosa as a result of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The role of microRNA during this transition has not been systematically studied.

Design: For initial screening, total RNA from 5 GERD and 6 BE patients was size fractionated.
