One of the biggest challenges in food packaging is the creation of sustainable and eco-friendly packaging materials to shield foods from ultraviolet (UV) photochemical damage and to preserve the distinctive physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of foods throughout the supply chain. Accordingly, this study focuses on enhancing the UV shielding properties and biological activity of carboxylmethyl cellulose sodium (CMC) through modifications using zinc oxide (ZnO), copper oxide (CuO), and graphene oxide (GO) using the solution casting technique. The hybrid nanocomposites were characterized by fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectrophotometer, ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometer, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and x-ray diffraction (XRD).

Wheat is an essential staple food, and its production and grain quality are affected by extreme temperature events. These effects are even more relevant considering the increasing food demand for a growing world population and the predicted augmented frequency of heat waves. This study investigated the impact of simulated heat wave (HW) conditions imposed during grain filling on starch granule characteristics, endosperm ultrastructure, and transcriptomic modulation of genes involved in starch synthesis and degradation.

Background: The hippocampus is associated with mood disorders, and the activation of quiescent neurogenesis has been linked to anxiolytic effects. Near-infrared (NIR) light has shown potential to improve learning and memory in human and animal models. Despite the vast amount of information regarding the effect of visible light, there is a significant gap in our understanding regarding the response of neural stem cells (NSCs) to NIR stimulation, particularly in anxiety-like behavior.

Rationale: This article summarized the nursing experience of phlebitis caused by intravenous infusion of amphotericin B cholesterol sulfate complex in a patient with myelodysplastic syndrome.
Patient Concerns: A 59-year-old man with myelodysplastic syndrome complicated with fungal infection was treated with antifungal therapy.
Diagnoses: Patient with myelodysplastic syndrome was diagnosed with secondary phlebitis caused by liposomal amphotericin B.
Background: Imaging plays an important role in the identification of prostate cancer (PCa). However, a shortcoming of the current imaging techniques is their inability to detect PCa at an early stage of development when tumor volume is small. This led us to explore new and improved imaging methods.
