Article Synopsis
- Scientists studied different ways to dry celery root that had beet juice added to it, looking at methods like convection drying, vacuum drying, and freeze drying.
- The drying process changed the celery's properties, making it different from regular dried celery, which included fewer nutrients and changes in color.
- They found that using vacuum impregnation helped speed up drying and changed the flavors in the celery, identifying many compounds that give it its smell.
Article Synopsis
- Gadoquatrane, a tetrameric gadolinium-based contrast agent (GBCA), was tested for its signal-enhancement capabilities compared to the established gadobutrol across varying doses in healthy adults.
- The study found that gadoquatrane provided similar relative signal enhancements at lower doses than those required for gadobutrol, indicating superior efficiency in enhancing magnetic resonance imaging quality.
- Both contrast agents showed comparable pharmacokinetic profiles and were well tolerated, with minimal adverse events regardless of the administered dosage.
Equine metabolic syndrome (EMS) is a steadily growing endocrine disorder representing a real challenge in veterinary practice. As a multifactorial condition, EMS is characterized by three main metabolic abnormalities including insulin resistance, increased adiposity or obesity and hoof laminitis. Adipose tissue dysfunction is recognized as a core pathophysiological determinant of EMS, as it strongly participates to lipotoxicity and systemic metaflammation, both of which have been closely linked to the development of generalized insulin resistance.

This paper presents, for the first time, results on the evaluation of drying methods (convective, vacuum-microwave and combined convective pre-drying and vacuum-microwave finishing drying) of hemp leaves on the qualitative and quantitative changes in secondary metabolites, including essential oils, cannabinoids and sterols. A ranking and descriptive test of hemp leaves was also performed.
