Plant proteins are increasingly incorporated into food products to enhance their nutritional value. However, little is known about how this alters the textural perceptions of such products. This study investigated the substitution of up to 35% wheat flour with pea protein isolate (PPI) into pasta sheets to determine how this influenced texture.

- Monoamine oxidase (MAO) is important for breaking down neurotransmitters and is a potential target for treating neurodegenerative diseases like depression and Alzheimer's.
- The study examined chromone-based compounds to see how effectively they inhibit MAO-A and MAO-B, identifying several promising derivatives through molecular docking techniques.
- A quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) model was developed to predict the effectiveness of these compounds, showing strong validation with experimental data and highlighting key molecular features that enhance their inhibitory effects.
Objective: Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a common complication in patients with diabetes. With current treatment, only two-thirds of patients heal, with a median duration of 3-6 months. Hard-to-heal DFUs are a major source of morbidity and mortality.

Diagnostic yield of radial endobronchial ultrasound (rEBUS) guided bronchoscopic biopsies is suboptimal, despite ultrasound confirmation of navigation success. Pairing ultrathin bronchoscopy and peripheral transbronchial needle aspiration (pTBNA) may improve yield.
