Anti-inflammatory effects of kawakawa (): An integrative mRNA-miRNA approach.

Kawakawa () is an endemic medicinal plant widely consumed by Māori in New Zealand. Presence of diverse biologically active phytochemicals in kawakawa may underpin its putative therapeutic anti-inflammatory properties. However, no human studies on its anti-inflammatory effects are yet undertaken.

Cruciferous vegetables lower blood pressure in adults with mildly elevated blood pressure in a randomized, controlled, crossover trial: the VEgetableS for vaScular hEaLth (VESSEL) study.

Background: Higher cruciferous vegetable intake is associated with lower cardiovascular disease risk in observational studies. The pathways involved remain uncertain. We aimed to determine whether cruciferous vegetable intake (active) lowers 24-h brachial systolic blood pressure (SBP; primary outcome) compared to root and squash vegetables (control) in Australian adults with mildly elevated BP (SBP 120-160 mmHg inclusive).

Phylogenetic systematics of Vigna sensu stricto in the context of Physostigma and allies.

Premise: Vigna includes economically vital crops and wild species. Molecular systematic studies of Vigna species resulted in generic segregates of many New World (NW) species. However, limited Old World (OW) sampling left questions regarding inter- and intraspecific relationships in Vigna s.

The impact of heat-set milk protein gel textures modified by pH on circulating amino acid appearance and gastric function in healthy female adults: a randomised controlled trial.

Modification of dairy proteins during processing impacts structural assemblies, influencing textural and nutritional properties of dairy products, and release and availability of amino acids during digestion. By modifying only pH, acid heat-set bovine dairy gels with divergent textural properties were developed to alter protein digestion. assay confirmed faster digestion of protein from a firm gel (pH 5.

Evaluation of clinical profiles, imaging findings and antituberculosis treatment outcome in granulomatous mastitis: An Indian scenario.

Background: The management of choice for granulomatous mastitis (GM) has yet to be determined but few studies have demonstrated that anti-tubercular treatment (ATT) could be an effective alternative therapeutic option. Hence, the objective of the current study is to determine the clinical feature, radiological imaging findings, and histopathological examination results exhibited by GM and tuberculosis (TB)-proven GM as well as to evaluate the ATT clinical outcome in GM patients.

Methods: The study was performed on 68 GM patients who were referred to the department of pulmonology by the breast clinic (from January 2018 to August 2021).
