Effect of essential oils as vitamin C preservatives and chia seed ) in the fortification of pineapple jam.

The present investigation "Effect of essential oils and chia seed () in fortification of pineapple jam." was conducted during the year 2022-2023 at the Post harvest laboratory of Horticulture Department, Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka. The study investigated the effects of essential oil and chia seeds on the quality of pineapple jam.

Medically assisted integrated rehabilitation program for people with opioid dependence: a quasi-experimental evaluation using multi-criteria decision analysis.

Background: Opioid use disorders constitute a vast disease burden, need for comprehensive treatment, and substantial costs to individuals, families, and society. The multifaceted needs of people with opioid dependence call for integrated care. The study aims to assess the added value of an integrated medically assisted rehabilitation (MAR) program providing opioid agonist therapy for patients with opioid dependence as compared to the standard of care (SoC) in Norway.

Electrochemical Selective Nitrate Reduction: Pathways to Nitrogen and Ammonia Production.

Nitrate (NO ) contamination from industrial, agricultural, and anthropogenic activities poses significant risks to human health and ecosystems. While traditional NO remediation methods are effective, they often generate secondary pollutants and incur high costs. Electrochemical NO reduction (ECNR) offers a sustainable alternative, converting NO into environmentally benign nitrogen (N) or valuable ammonia (NH).

First-principles pressure-dependent investigation of the physical and superconducting properties of ThCrSi-type superconductors SrPdX (X = P, As).

The physical and superconducting characteristics of SrPdP and SrPdAs compounds with applied pressure were calculated using density functional theory. The pressure effect on the structural properties of these compounds was investigated. The results show that both lattice constants and volume decrease almost linearly with increasing pressure.

Restoring Mitochondrial Quantity and Quality to Reverse Warburg Effect and Drive Tumor Differentiation.

Reduced mitochondrial quality and quantity in tumors is associated with dedifferentiation and increased malignancy. However, it remains unclear how to restore mitochondrial quantity and quality in tumors, and whether mitochondrial restoration can drive tumor differentiation. Our study shows that restoring mitochondrial function using retinoic acid (RA) to boost mitochondrial biogenesis and a mitochondrial uncoupler to enhance respiration synergistically drives neuroblastoma differentiation and inhibits proliferation.
