Our research on the expression and characterization of exosomal miRNAs in buffalo milk, particularly in the context of healthy, sub-clinical mastitis and pasteurized milk, is a novel contribution to the field. We are the first to investigate the expressions of miRNAs and the characterization of exosomes in boiled and pasteurized milk. This study is based on clinical signs and CMT, where twenty buffalo milk samples were divided into normal and sub-clinical mastitis and a third group of ten commercial pasteurized milk.

Int J Health Sci (Qassim)
January 2024
Article Synopsis
- This systematic review examined the connection between denture usage and nutrition, specifically focusing on how food frequency questionnaires (FFQ) are used to assess nutrient intake in denture wearers.
- Researchers analyzed studies published from 1990 to 2024 and evaluated four relevant studies that met specific criteria for quality.
- The review found that most studies used high-quality, semi-quantitative FFQ methods, but noted one study had significant flaws, highlighting the importance of comprehensive design and delivery methods for reliable nutritional assessments.
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on how Tritium (HTO) is transferred between air, soil, and plants in a tropical environment, particularly in Tarapur, India, which is near nuclear facilities.
- It aims to understand Tritium transport and develop specific parameters related to air moisture and plant water interactions for use in activity models.
- Key findings include transfer ratios for soil-to-air and plant-to-air moisture, as well as metrics like Tritium scavenging ratio and wet deposition velocity, providing important data for environmental assessments in the area.
Article Synopsis
- A 70-year-old male with obstructive uropathy developed a catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) caused by the rare bacteria Pseudomonas mendocina after testing positive for COVID-19.
- Urine cultures revealed both P. mendocina and Enterococcus faecalis, prompting an antibiotic regimen change that initially improved the patient's condition, but he was readmitted later for recurring symptoms and complications.
- The case emphasizes the potential link between COVID-19 and increased bacterial infections in patients with pre-existing conditions, highlighting the need for more research on this interaction and careful clinical management.
In this work, we have described the synthesis of vanadium (V) nanoparticles (NPs) anchored on mesoporous graphitic carbon nitride (V@mpg-CN) and their uses in photocatalytic ethylbenzene oxidation to the respective acetophenones. The mpg-CN serves as the support for the decoration of V NPs, through a simple impregnation method. Various advanced techniques, such as XRD, UV-vis spectrometry, HRTEM, HAADF-STEM, AC-STEM, elemental mapping, and BET surface area analysis, were employed for the characterization of V@mpg-CN.
