The fabricating of extremely effective, economical, ecologically safe, and reusable nanoparticle (NP) catalysts for the removal of water pollution is urgently needed. This study, spectroscopically optimizes the process parameters for the biogenic synthesis of AgNP catalysts using Cledrdendrum infortunatum leaf extract. The optimization of several synthesis parameters was systematically studied using UV-Vis spectroscopy to identify the ideal conditions for AgNPs formation.

Kombucha is a fermented beverage with health effects, made mainly from green tea and black tea; however, it can also be made from other leaves such as those of jackfruit and soursop, which are not used even though they have been reported to have positive health effects. Due to the above, in this work "kombucha" beverages based on jackfruit and/or soursop leaves were developed and analyzed to take advantage of these by-products. It was found that fermentation produced significant changes, being the optimal kombucha formulation green tea with soursop leaves (GTKS), obtaining a higher content of antioxidant compounds (mainly catechin, rutin and shikimic acid) and greater ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) (1.

Background: Loss or displacement of a fat pad on the foot increases plantar pressure, leading to pain and plantar ulcers. These ulcers, especially in patients with diabetic neuropathy, have high recurrence rates, often resulting in amputations. Standard of care focuses on reducing plantar pressure with shoe padding or orthotic devices, leaving the restoration of the fat pad as an unmet medical need.

A common assumption of plant hydraulic physiology is that high hydraulic efficiency must come at the cost of hydraulic safety, generating a trade-off that raises doubts about the possibility of selecting both productive and drought-tolerant herbaceous crops. Wetland plants typically display high productivity, which requires high hydraulic efficiency to sustain transpiration rates coupled to CO uptake. Previous studies have suggested high vulnerability to xylem embolism of different wetland plants, in line with expected trade-offs.

Background: Long COVID has affected approximately 200 million people globally, with substantial consequences for the individuals, healthcare systems and society. Treatment guidelines lack clear recommendations regarding increased activity. This study aimed to evaluate primary outcomes as patients' satisfaction, illness perception and patient activation.
