The present study aimed to enhance the fat quality of bakery products by incorporating an oleogel enriched with unsaturated fatty acids and nutraceuticals. The efficacy of cross-linking chitosan with vanillin was evaluated using an emulsion-template technique. This approach utilized a blend of rice bran oil and soybean oil fortified with β-sitosterol, which partially replaced conventional shortening in cookie formulations.

Article Synopsis
  • Lung cancer metastasis poses a major challenge in treatment, leading to research on new therapies, such as silymarin, a compound from milk thistle known for its anticancer effects.
  • The study found that silymarin inhibits lung cancer cell movement and invasion by affecting matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-2 and MMP-9), along with reducing cell proliferation and inducing apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner.
  • Additional tests showed that silymarin treatment led to increased oxidative stress, cell cycle arrest in the G1 phase, and impaired migration and colony formation of cancer cells, suggesting it could be a valuable adjuvant treatment for lung cancer metastasis.

complications, infectious diseases, maternal and infant health in disasters, gender-based violence, healthcare access inequities, mental health impacts, and food security issues. Findings reveal an uneven distribution of coverage across continents, with potential language bias in English-dominated sources. Acknowledging limitations, future research directions emphasize a more inclusive approach, incorporating diverse linguistic perspectives and qualitative exploration of community experiences.

Multi-drug resistance (MDR) infections are a significant global challenge, necessitating innovative and eco-friendly approaches for developing effective antimicrobial agents. This study focuses on the synthesis, characterization, and evaluation of cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeONPs) for their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties. The CeONPs were synthesized using aaqueous extract through an environmentally friendly process.

The ground state of a one-dimensional spin- uniform antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chain (AfHc) is a Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid which is quantum-critical with respect to applied magnetic fields up to a saturation field beyond which it transforms to a fully polarized state. Wilson ratio has been predicted to be a good indicator for demarcating these phases [Phys. Rev.

Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are traumatic experiences that increase people's susceptibility to adverse physical health, mental health, and social consequences in adulthood. Screening for ACEs in primary care settings is complicated by a lack of consensus on appropriate methods for identifying exposure to ACEs. It is unclear whether self-report methods could increase disclosure of ACEs as compared to interview-based methods.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on the prevalence and drug resistance of a major public health concern in healthy school children in Mekelle city, Northern Ethiopia, finding an 8.3% infection rate.
  • Factors such as being female, low income, poor hygiene, and crowded living conditions were linked to increased vulnerability to infections.
  • Alarmingly, the majority of bacterial isolates showed significant resistance to common antibiotics, highlighting the need for better hygiene practices and responsible antibiotic use.

The present work investigates the structural and luminescence behaviour of Dy-Sm co-doped glass ceramics obtained through heat treatment of precursor glasses. The growth of SiO polycrystalline particles and evolution of these crystallites in the glass domain are witnessed via XRD and FESEM study. The presence of network vibrational bands, hydroxyl groups and the increased quantity of bridging oxygens (BOs) in glass ceramics are analysed through FTIR spectroscopy study.

Polymer composites are known for its light weight and specific mechanical characteristics. This study examines sodium hydroxide (NaOH)-treated coir fiber, an agro-leftover, stuffed in a polyester matrix with termite frass powder, a bio-leftover for possible use in light-weight structural applications. Composite samples were made using compression molding and NaOH-treated coir fiber reinforced hybrid polymer composite (TCRHPC) with 40 wt% treated coir fiber and 1, 2, 3, and 4 wt% termite frass powder.

In this study, the phytochemical profile and silver nanoparticle (AgNPs)-synthesizing ability of Pittosporum undulatum methanol extract were investigated. Furthermore, biological applications of the AgNPs, such as antibacterial effect (against Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, and Escherichia coli), mosquito larvicidal effect (against Anopheles stephensi, Culex quinquefasciatus, and Aedes aegypti), and cytotoxicity (against fibroblast cell line L929) were evaluated using in vitro experiments. The phytochemical analysis revealed that the methanol extract contained cardiac glycosides, terpenoids, saponins, alkaloids, flavonoids, glycosides, coumarins, phenolics, and tannins.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to understand how older patients in Northern India perceive their own aging and what factors influence this perception.
  • It involved a cross-sectional analysis of 184 patients, focusing on various health and physical attributes, using multinomial logistic regression to determine relationships with subjective aging.
  • The findings revealed that higher chronological age and improved hand grip strength were linked to feeling younger compared to peers; specifically, older age was associated with a decrease in feeling older while increased grip strength heightened the sense of feeling younger.
