Skin Glue to Reduce Intravenous Catheter Failure in Children.

Study Objective: The peripheral intravenous catheter (IV) is the most common and painful invasive medical device in acute care settings. Our objective was to determine whether adding skin glue to secure IVs reduced catheter failure rate in children.

Methods: We conducted a randomized controlled trial in a tertiary-care pediatric emergency department (ED).

SMN regulates GEMIN5 expression and acts as a modifier of GEMIN5-mediated neurodegeneration.

GEMIN5 is essential for core assembly of small nuclear Ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs), the building blocks of spliceosome formation. Loss-of-function mutations in GEMIN5 lead to a neurodevelopmental syndrome among patients presenting with developmental delay, motor dysfunction, and cerebellar atrophy by perturbing SMN complex protein expression and assembly. Currently, molecular determinants of GEMIN5-mediated disease have yet to be explored.

Effect of vacuum and atmospheric frying and heating on physico-chemical properties of rice bran oil.

The study highlights the impact of vacuum (13.33 kPa) and atmospheric (101.325 kPa) pressure on the Physico-chemical stability of rice bran oil (RBO) during continuous frying and heating at equivalent thermal driving force (∆T = 45 °C).

Development of instant paneer type product from groundnut using microwave dehydration.

The present study aimed at the development of a groundnut-based dehydrated paneer type product which could serve as an instant vegan protein source. In the process of preparing groundnut paneer, a ratio of 1:5 of groundnut to water and 2.0% calcium chloride (CaCl) solution was used for the preparation of groundnut paneer and the product was evaluated for physicochemical, instrumental color, instrumental textural, and sensory characteristics.

Antioxidant, Scavenging, Reducing, and Anti-Proliferative Activities of Selected Tropical Brown Seaweeds Confirm the Nutraceutical Potential of .

Brown seaweeds have shown high potential of bioactivity and provide health benefits as an important functional food ingredient. Therefore, four abundantly growing tropical brown seaweeds-, , and -were collected from the Saurashtra Coast of the Arabian Sea. They were analyzed for metabolite profiling, biochemical activities (including total antioxidant, reducing, scavenging, and anti-proliferative characteristics), and total phenolic and flavonoid contents.
