Purpureocillium lilacinum and Beauveria bassiana were isolated from lung sampled at necropsy of a 12 year-old female loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) that had displayed abnormal buoyancy. Histopathologic evaluation revealed pleuritis and pneumonia with non-melanized, septate hyphae and fruiting structures identical to those of P. lilacinum. This case emphasizes the importance of a histological correlate to fungal culture when environmental fungi are isolated and demonstrates the infrequent phenomenon of fruiting or conidial production in tissue.

Background: Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is a rare, highly fatal disease with diagnosis in advanced stage and low survival rate. Nepal ranked 4th position with highest rates of GBC for 10 countries in 2020.
Objective: To find the association between socio-demographic, behavioral and environmental factors associated with the development of GBC.

Although positive coparenting, or how parents relate during childrearing, is known to support children's socioemotional development, the role of coparenting in supporting children's healthy eating and growth is poorly understood. This study examined associations between coparenting quality, the home food environment, and young children's body mass index (BMI). Cross-sectional data were obtained from 290 mothers and their 3-year-old children who participated in the Sprout study.

Lactoferrin protein (LF) is a natural protein with certain emulsifying ability, but is sensitive to be affected by environmental factors and has poor oxidative stability to be used as emulsifier. In this study, the emulsifying ability of LF was significantly improved after conjugation with Rosa roxburghii Tratt fruit polysaccharides (RTFP), and the emulsion stability mechanism of LF-RTFP conjugates (L-R) were elucidated through the utilization of CLSM (confocal laser scanning microscopy), interfacial tension, apparent viscosity, and protein adsorption rate. The emulsion stabilized by L-R showed the smaller particle size (17.

Background: Excessive lipogenesis of the skin triggers some dermatological concerns, such as enlarged pores, acne, and blackheads. Although topical drug treatments can offer temporary relief, their prolonged usage may lead to side effects of dryness, irritation, or allergic reactions. Consequently, the development of safer and efficacious ingredients in cosmetics for managing sebum overproduction represents a significant yet challenging endeavor.
