Grape seed extract (GSE), one of the world's bestselling dietary supplements, is prone to frequent adulteration with chemically similar compounds. These frauds can go unnoticed within the supply chain due to the use of unspecific standard analytical methods for quality control. This research aims to develop a near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) method for the rapid and non-destructive quantitative evaluation of GSE powder in the presence of multiple additives.

- The Chironomidae family, consisting of over 7,300 species, is a highly diverse group of insects found in freshwater ecosystems globally, with documentation varying greatly across Europe.
- This study enhances the understanding of chironomid fauna in three catchments in Croatia, Hungary, and Czechia, identifying 207 taxa, including 14 species new to Croatia and two to Czechia.
- Techniques like DNA barcoding revealed 23 new genetic groups, emphasizing the importance of focused field studies on challenging taxa to improve both local and global knowledge of these insects.
Rationale: Lung transplant recipients have the worst long-term outcomes of all solid organs due to acute rejection and chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD).
Objective: To investigate the efficacy of ECP as a prophylactic treatment to prevent acute cellular rejection (ACR), CMV infections and reduce the risk of CLAD.
Methods: Single-center prospective randomized controlled trial conducted at Medical University of Vienna between 2018 and 2020.
