The standardized methanolic extract of leaves of O. sanctum (OSE; eugenol content 5%) given in doses of 50-200 mg/kg, orally, twice daily for five days showed dose-dependent ulcer protective effect against cold restraint stress induced gastric ulcers. Optimal effective dose (100 mg/kg) of OSE showed significant ulcer protection against ethanol and pyloric ligation-induced gastric ulcers, but was ineffective against aspirin-induced ulcers. OSE significantly healed ulcers induced by 50% acetic acid after 5 and 10 days treatment OSE (100 mg/kg) significantly inhibited the offensive acid-pepsin secretion and lipid peroxidation and increased the gastric defensive factors like mucin secretion, cellular mucus, and life span of mucosal cells and had antioxidant effect, but did not induce mucosal cell proliferation. The results indicate that the ulcer protective and healing effects of OSE may be due to its effects both on offensive and defensive mucosal factors.

This study aimed to examine the differences in physical performance when winning and losing in UEFA Champions League (UCL) matches. Data were collected using an optical tracking system from all UCL matches (n = 125) in the 2022/23 season. A linear mixed model was used to examine the differences in physical performance in won and lost matches while controlling for match location, team formation, opponent quality, playing time, red cards, and between-player, -team, and -match variations.

This study aimed to benchmark the match demands of specialised positions at the FIFA Women's World Cup Australia and New Zealand 2023. With FIFA's official approval, all sixty-four games at the tournament were analysed using an optical tracking system alongside FIFA's Enhanced Football Intelligence metrics. During a typical match, defensive and central midfielders covered 5-15% more total distance than centre backs, wide defenders and centre forwards (P < 0.

The aim of this study was to analyse and compare, both individually and multivariately, the technical-tactical similarities and differences associated with the offensive phase between the FIFA Women's World Cup France 2019 and the FIFA Women's World Cup Australia & New Zealand 2023. Following an observational follow-up design, 4,669 ball possessions were analysed in both tournaments (FWWC19: n = 2,323; FWWC23: n = 2,346). Differences between the two editions were examined using the chi-square statistic (p < .

Article Synopsis
  • Lubricant-mediated surfaces face challenges like lubricant loss and poor clarity for antifouling purposes.
  • Inspired by globefish skin, slippery Liquid-Like Surfaces (LLSs) use cyclodextrin-eugenol complexes and flexible silicone chains to effectively kill attached organisms and prevent fouling.
  • LLSs show excellent antifouling and mechanical properties while maintaining transparency in various water environments, lasting up to 90 days on coated lenses in seawater.
