Article Synopsis
- Food packaging is essential for maintaining food quality and safety, but concerns over environmental and health issues related to conventional materials like PFAS and microplastics are pushing for design changes.
- PFAS compounds have been commonly used for their water and grease repellency but are linked to serious health problems, while microplastics pose risks of contaminating food.
- The review discusses the need for sustainable alternatives, like plant-based and recycled materials, and calls for further research to improve the scalability and cost-effectiveness of these eco-friendly packaging solutions.
This study investigates the effects of the graphene content and applied pressure on the electrical and thermal conductivities of graphite/polyaniline (GP) and graphite/graphene/polyaniline (GGP) composites produced direct mixing method. Based on the electrical and thermal conductivity results, 14 wt% graphene content was found to be the crucial threshold, beyond which extra graphene additions exhibited different behaviors in pressed and unpressed samples. While the electrical conductivity of the unpressed samples increased up to 14 wt% graphene addition, the thermal conductivity increased further after 14 wt% graphene addition.

This study examines the effects of fenofibrate on a propionic acid (PPA)-induced rat model of ASD, focusing on behavioral changes, inflammatory markers, and histological findings.
Materials And Methods: Thirty male Wistar rats were divided into three groups: a control group, a group receiving PPA and saline, and a group treated with PPA and fenofibrate for 15 days.
Multimodality Imaging in Cardiomyopathies.

Cardiomyopathy, which is shortly defined as a disease of the myocardium, has a broad definition that includes many different diagnoses. Recent advances in cardiac imaging techniques, including basic and advanced echocardiography, computed tomography, nuclear medicine, and cardiac magnetic resonance, allow for a more accurate evaluation of volumes and thickness of cardiac chambers, systolic and diastolic function of the ventricules, and tissue structure. Multimodality imaging often provides the first clinical suspicion for specific etiologies, especially when the medical and family history is unclear, by identification of red flags of underlying systemic diseases.

- Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a sustainable agriculture approach focusing on reducing chemical pesticide use while enhancing crop productivity and ecosystem health, as highlighted in a recent comprehensive review.
- Key components of IPM discussed include cultural practices, biological control, genetic pest management, and advanced targeted pesticide delivery systems, with particular advancements noted in biological control and the introduction of novel biopesticides.
- The review emphasizes IPM's benefits for biodiversity and food safety, outlines case studies showing successful implementation, and points out the challenges needing attention for broader adoption, such as research collaboration and supportive policies.
