The impact of goat hair as a natural animal fiber on properties of the lightweight cement composite.

The increasing demand for sustainable and eco-friendly construction materials has prompted the exploration of natural fibers as reinforcement in cement composites. This study investigates the potential of goat hair as a natural fiber reinforcement in lightweight cement composites to enhance mechanical properties and sustainability. The research evaluates goat-hair-reinforced composites' flexural and compressive strengths at 7 and 28 days after mixing.

Global guideline for the diagnosis and management of candidiasis: an initiative of the ECMM in cooperation with ISHAM and ASM.

Candida species are the predominant cause of fungal infections in patients treated in hospital, contributing substantially to morbidity and mortality. Candidaemia and other forms of invasive candidiasis primarily affect patients who are immunocompromised or critically ill. In contrast, mucocutaneous forms of candidiasis, such as oral thrush and vulvovaginal candidiasis, can occur in otherwise healthy individuals.

Ternary complex of Kaempferol-Hydroxypropyl-β-Cyclodextrin-Liposomes against hepatocellular carcinoma: Preparation, validation, pharmacokinetics and efficacy studies.

Kaempferol (KP), a GRAS-certified phytomolecule enrolled in Phase I trials, is reported with various biological effects including anticancer activity. However, its poor pharmacokinetic profile limits the translational utility. Studies indicate that liposomes incorporating cyclodextrin inclusion complexes improves the bioavailability of hydrophobic drugs.

Alleviating effect of whey protein supplementation on oxidative stress in hypothyroidism.

Hypothyroidism is one of the most prevalent thyroid pathologies, which causes oxidative stress by disrupting antioxidant mechanisms. In mammals, the thyroid glands regulate metabolism, development, and growth. Dysfunction of the thyroid gland can result in hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, thyroiditis, and thyroid cancer.
