The liquid-liquid extraction of alpha-lactalbumin based on reverse micellar organic solvents was investigated. Forward extraction of the protein in the reverse micellar organic phase from aqueous feed solutions was strongly dependent on the initial pH of the feed solution and the complete forward extraction of 0.03 mM alpha-lactalbumin was successfully achieved at pH 6.0. The forward extraction percentage steeply decreased with increasing KCl concentration, while in the NaCl system the forward extraction was independent on the salt concentration below 1 M. From the circular dichroic measurement, higher order structure of the recovered alpha-lactalbumin through the extraction process was well preserved.

Unlabelled: Cardamom mosaic virus causing mosaic/ disease is the most destructive virus infecting cardamom. The development of effective diagnostic assays is essential for the production of virus-free plants, as the primary spread of the virus occurs through vegetative propagation. Currently used PCR-based assays are not suitable for Point-of-Care testing, require sophisticated equipment, and are time-consuming.

Background: Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are utilized as a therapeutic option for patients with end-stage heart failure. While LVAD implantation can enhance survival rates and quality of life, the procedure has its risks, and postoperative complications are common. This review aims to investigate whether there is an association between living in a rural area and the incidence of postoperative complications or hospital readmissions following LVAD implantation, compared to urban LVAD recipients.

Purpose: Co-production improves the quality of healthcare services by prioritizing patient-centred care and ensuring optimal implementation. Current patient participation research have primarily concentrated on the co-production stages, despite patient participation being the central emphasis of its implementation. A study conducted analysed four specific attributes of patient participation, with patient engagement specifically emphasizing the interactions between patients and healthcare workers.

Background And Objectives: Assessing treatment response in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) tumors necessitates developing more objective and quantitative approaches. A machine learning-based approach is presented in this exploratory study for GBM patients' treatment response assessment based on radiomics extracted from magnetic resonance (MR) images.
Methods: MR images from 77 GBM patients were acquired at two post-surgery stages and preprocessed.

During pregnancy, women undergo significant physiological, hormonal, and biomechanical changes that influence their gait. The forward shift of the center of mass and increased joint loads often result in a "waddling gait," elevating the risk of falls. While gait changes during pregnancy have been documented, findings across studies remain inconsistent, particularly regarding variations at different pregnancy stages.
