Electrogastrography (EGG) is a non-invasive method for the measurement of gastric myoelectrical activity. It was first discovered in 1921 and popularized in 1990s. EGG is attractive because it is non-invasive. However, due to its non-invasive nature, there have also been controversies regarding validity and applications of EGG. The aim of this review is to discuss the methodologies, validation and applications of EGG. Pros and cons of EGG will also be discussed in detail. First, the gastric slow wave and its correlation with gastric motility are presented. The association between gastric dysrhythmia and impaired gastric motility is reviewed. Secondly the method for recording the electrogastrogram is presented in detail and pitfalls in the recording and analysis of EGG are discussed. Thirdly, findings reported in the literature demonstrating the accuracy of EGG in recording gastric slow waves and gastric dysrhythmia are reviewed and discussed. The correlation of the electrogastrogram with gastric contraction is carefully discussed. Finally, applications of EGG in a few major areas are reviewed.

Introduction: The control of parasites infections in livestock is an ongoing concern, with parasites developing resistance to commonly used antiparasitic drugs. The current study investigated the destructive effect of the fungus Pochonia chlamydosporia on the eggs and oocysts of several equine parasites, as well as assessing the safety of the fungus in mice.

The Lepidopteran pest Trichoplusia ni and the parasitoid wasp Trichogramma brassicae represent a fascinating biological system, important for sustainable agricultural practices but challenging to observe. We present a nondestructive method based on micro-CT scanning technology (CT: computed tomography) for visualizing the internal parts of caterpillar embryos and of emerging parasitoids from infected eggs. Traditional methods of microscopic observation of the opaque egg contents require staining or dissection.

Recent times have witnessed revolutionary progress in the design and development of functionalized nanomaterials as promising tools for biomedicinal applications. However, the gap in the fundamental understanding of the "biological responses" of the nanomaterials after the formation of "protein-corona" when it is exposed to the body system has drawn a thin line from its discoveries to real clinical trial. In this article we have synthesized two different silver NPs capped with the polyphenols of (guava) leaf extract and the other with one of its major polyphenolic groups, morin.

Protein drug production encompasses various methods, among which animal bioreactors are emerging as a transgenic system. Animal bioreactors have the potential to reduce production costs and increase efficiency, thereby producing recombinant proteins that are crucial for therapeutic applications. Various species, including goats, cattle, rabbits, and poultry, have been genetically engineered to serve as bioreactors.

Accurate enumeration of mosquito eggs is crucial for various entomologic studies, including investigations into mosquito fecundity, life history traits, and vector control strategies. Traditional manual counting methods are labor intensive and prone to human error, highlighting the need for automated systems. This study presents a stand-alone automated mosquito egg counting system using a Raspberry Pi computer, high-quality camera, light-emitting diode ring light source, and a Python script leveraging the Open Source Computer Vision library.
