This is the first study to assess the impact of substitution of shortening (50%) with sunflower-beeswax oleogel in cake formulations on the inactivation kinetics of Salmonella spp. and the quality attributes of cakes baked in conventional (CO) and microwave (MWO) ovens. Four distinct cake samples were examined in the study: Cake samples containing oleogel prepared in two different ovens (Oleo-Cake-CO and Oleo-Cake-MWO) and control cake samples baked in two different ovens (Cont-Cake-CO and Cont-Cake-MWO).

Many lifestyles have been connected to periodontal disease, but little is known about diet and PA intake. This study included 185 people-62 healthy, 61 gingivitis, and 62 periodontitis.

- Eribulin is a microtubule dynamics inhibitor that shows potential for managing brain tumors, especially breast cancer brain metastases, due to its lower protein binding and resistance to P-glycoprotein extrusion.
- A clinical study involved administering eribulin to cancer patients post-tumor removal, with samples analyzed to measure its concentrations in the brain and plasma.
- Results indicated higher concentrations of eribulin in areas where the blood-brain barrier was disrupted, but overall levels in the brain were not enough to confirm consistent clinical effectiveness against brain tumors.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the use of intratumoral tavokinogene telseplasmid (TAVO-EP) with nivolumab before surgery in patients with advanced melanoma, focusing on its effects on the tumor environment.
- Sixteen patients participated, showing a 63% preoperative response rate, with a pathologic complete response (pCR) of 60% and a major pathologic response (MPR) of 80% post-treatment.
- The treatment demonstrated significant immune activation and a favorable safety profile, suggesting TAVO-EP combined with nivolumab may be an effective strategy for enhancing anti-tumor immunity in melanoma.
In this study, we developed a heterojunction photocatalyst, namely nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots/titanium dioxide (CQDs/TiO), for the effective and sustainable treatment of ciprofloxacin (CIP) antibiotic in aqueous solution. First, CQDs were prepared from a chitosan biopolymer with a green, facile, and effective hydrothermal carbonization technique and then anchored on the TiO surface via a hydrothermal process. The morphological, structural, and optical properties of the as-prepared materials were characterized by using advanced analytical techniques.
