Objectives: To examine the effect of date fruit extract and honey in increasing haemoglobin levels in pregnant women.
Methods: The quasi-experimental study was conducted from July to August 2022 in Rumbai Pesisir Subdistric, Pekanbaru, Indonesia, and comprised anaemic pregnant women with haemoglobin levels <11gm/dl who were not consuming iron tablets or blood boosters. They were given honey and date extracts 2 tablespoons twice daily for two weeks.
Identifying a developmental transition in honey bees using gene expression data.

In many organisms, interactions among genes lead to multiple functional states, and changes to interactions can lead to transitions into new states. These transitions can be related to bifurcations (or critical points) in dynamical systems theory. Characterizing these collective transitions is a major challenge for systems biology.

AD is commonly associated with comorbidities including ocular surface disease (OSD). Conjunctivitis is the most common OSD associated with AD and can increase in incidence with use of monoclonal antibody biologics that target the type 2 inflammatory pathway.

The honeybee is a haplodiploid organism in which sexual development is determined by the complementary sex determiner (csd) gene and realized by sex-specific splicing processes involving the feminizer (fem) gene. We used high throughput transcriptome sequencing (RNA-Seq) to characterize the transcriptional differences between the sexes caused by the fertilization and sex determination processes in honeybee (Apis mellifera) embryos. We identified 758, 372 and 43 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and 58, 176 and 233 differentially spliced genes (DSGs) in 10-15-h-old, 25-40-h-old and 55-70-h-old female and male embryos, respectively.

The honeybee's comb has inspired the design of engineering honeycomb core that primarily abstract the hexagonal cell shape and exploit its mass minimizing properties to construct lightweight panels. This work explored three additional design features that are part of natural honeybee comb but have not been as well studied as design features of interest in honeycomb design: the radius at the corner of each cell, the coping at the top of the cell walls, and the interface between cell arrays. These features were first characterized in natural honeycomb using optical and X-ray techniques and then incorporated into honeycomb core design and fabricated using an additive manufacturing process.
