Objective: The aim of this systematic review is to summarize the current evidence on preventive interventions and bundles, including combinations of multiple techniques, aimed at reducing vaginal delivery-related perineal injury.
Methods: A systematic research of literature was independently conducted on different databases (PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE) by the authors, using a combination of the identified keywords and index terms as per current PRISMA guidelines. The research was restricted to papers published in English starting by 2000.
Article Synopsis
- The study examines the nutritional, functional, and environmental benefits of two types of macro-fungi powders, highlighting their applications in food and medicine.
- One type of mushroom showed 11.43% more protein, while the other had 63.55% more fiber, demonstrating their distinct nutritional profiles.
- They also exhibit significant bioavailability of essential minerals like iron, zinc, and calcium, and effectively degrade harmful compounds, suggesting their potential use as nutritious alternatives or additives.
Cross-Over Application of Algerian Dairy Lactic Acid Bacteria for the Design of Plant-Based Products: Characterization of and for the Formulation of Quinoa-Based Beverage.
Microorganisms
October 2024
Article Synopsis
- The study investigated Algerian dairy lactic acid bacteria strains VR81 and LVT1 from camel milk to discover their potential for producing a plant-based yogurt using quinoa as a base.
- The selected strains showed promising probiotic properties, including resilience to harsh conditions and a strong ability to inhibit harmful bacteria, attributed to bioactive peptides.
- The fermentation process using these strains effectively acidified quinoa, resulting in a high-quality fermented product enriched in beneficial metabolites like exopolysaccharides and riboflavin.
Introduction: To evaluate the prognostic impact of substantial lymph vascular space invasion (LVSI) on the sentinel lymph node involvement and recurrence rate of patients with apparent uterine-confined endometrial cancer.
Materials And Methods: We enrolled consecutive patients with apparent confined endometrial cancer who underwent surgical staging with sentinel node mapping from 14 European reference centers. LVSI was analyzed semi-quantitatively, according to a 3-tiered scoring system classified as absent, focal, and substantial.
Article Synopsis
- * The meta-analysis included data from 17 studies, revealing that VEIL had significantly lower rates of major complications compared to OIL (12.6% vs. 41.1%), though other factors like blood loss and hospital stay were similar between the two methods.
- * While VEIL appears to be a safer option, OIL is quicker, making it a valid alternative; further randomized trials are needed to better assess these outcomes.
