A 51-year-old woman visited our hospital with massive hemoptysis. She had suffered from recurrent hemoptysis for five years and had undergone bronchial artery embolization many times. The patient had a history of pulmonary tuberculosis and bronchiectasis. Chest radiography showed consolidation around the nodule in the lateral basal segment of the right lower lobe. We successfully performed a right lower lobectomy. The histological study of the resected specimen showed a vegetable foreign body and clumps of Actinomyces, indicating actinomycosis, which was suggested to be the cause of the hemoptysis. This was a very rare case of hemoptysis caused by a vegetable foreign body and actinomycosis.

Background/objectives: Traditional food markets are essential in urban food environments in Kenya and other low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). They provide affordable fresh food, particularly for low-income urban communities, and are vital places of livelihoods and local economic activities. Despite their importance, associations between market-related factors and diet quality for vendors and consumers are underexplored.

Apigenin (CHO, API) is a natural flavonoid widely found in vegetables, fruits, and plants such as celery, oranges, and chamomile. In recent years, API has attracted considerable attention as a dietary supplement due to its low toxicity, non-mutagenic properties and remarkable therapeutic efficacy in various diseases. In particular, evidence from a large number of preclinical studies suggests that API has promising effects in the prevention and treatment of a variety of liver diseases, including multifactorial liver injury, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease/non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, liver fibrosis and liver cancer.

Surface functionalization and the combined utilization of zero-dimensional and two-dimensional nanomaterials is an effective method to achieve highly sensitive detection for electrochemical analysis. Using an all-in-one strategy, phthalocyanine, gold nanoparticles, and ionic liquid were successively modified on the graphene surface as a highly integrated electrode modification material. Phthalocyanine can repair the defects of reduced graphene oxide by binding to the graphene structure surface through non-covalent functionalization.

Background: It is unclear whether the effects of dietary intake, parental education, and nutrition policy on childhood overweight and obesity is consistent between high-income (HICs) and low- and middle-income (LMICs) countries. The objective of this meta-analysis was to investigate the association of diet, parental education and nutrition policy with childhood overweight and obesity when the economic levels were controlled.
Methods: PubMed, Web of Science, Embase and Scopus were searched for observational studies published from January 1980 to October 2023 that examined the association of diet, parental education and nutrition policy with childhood overweight and obesity.
Photosynthetic efficiency and water retention in okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) contribute to tolerance to single and combined effects of drought and heat stress.

The co-occurrence of drought and heat significantly hampers plant productivity. Although their impacts are well studied, these studies have been based on the effects of individual stressors rather than their combined influence. Okra is crucial for food and nutritional security and livelihoods in many regions, yet it remains under-researched and unimproved.
