Biocompatible Pickering emulsions and films: Unlocking the chitosan-polyvinyl alcohol synergy for multifaceted capabilities.

The exciting potential of harnessing the synergy between polysaccharides and bioactive components is attracting significant scientific interest. This research paves the way for the development of novel materials that can improve human health. Therefore, current research is conducted to explore the innovative use of chitosan, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) complex (CHN-PVA), olive oil-stabilized Pickering emulsions (PEs), and films with multifaceted applications.

Enhancing cellulose-stabilized multiphase/Pickering emulsions systems: A molecular dynamics perspective.

Cellulose stabilized multiphase systems (CSMS) have garnered significant attention due to their ultra-stabilization mechanism and vast potential across different fields. CSMS have found valuable applications in scientific disciplines, including Food Science, Pharmaceutical Science, Material Science, and related fields, owing to their beneficial attributes such as sustainability, safety, renewability, and non-toxicity. Furthermore, MPS exhibit novel characteristics that enable multiple mechanisms to produce HIPEs, aerogels, and oleogels revealing undiscovered information.

Adherence and barriers to Mediterranean diet in Tunisian patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

The burden of non alcoolic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is globally increasing. While crucial for management, NAFLD patient adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MD) is underexplored, especially in Mediterranean countries such as Tunisia. A prospective study (Nov 2022-Feb 2023) supervised MD introduction by a nutritionist, evaluated adherence with MEDAS scores (≥10 for good compliance), and explored barriers to good adherence.

Integration of statistical and simulation analyses for ternary hybrid nanofluid over a moving surface with melting heat transfer.

In industrial and engineering fields including lamination, melt-spinning, continuous casting, and fiber spinning, the flow caused by a continually moving surface is significant. Therefore, the problem of ternary hybrid nanofluid flow over a moving surface is studied. This study explores the stability and statistical analyses of the magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) forced flow of the ternary hybrid nanofluid with melting heat transfer phenomena.

Acute myeloid leukemia after 10 years of azathioprine treatment for Crohn's disease.

Background: Azathioprine, which is an immunosuppressive agent commonly used for chronic inflammatory bowel disease, may be associated with an increased risk of certain cancers such as hematologic malignancies.

Case Report: A 50-year-old man with a 27-year history of Crohn's disease had been under azathioprine treatment at a dose of 2.5 mg/kg/day (150 mg/day) since 2007, after ileocecal resection to avoid postoperative recurrences.
