Tooth surface loss (TSL) is a complex phenomenon characterized by the loss of hard tooth structure at various locations of the teeth, usually due to more than one factor. TSL due to abrasion can be significant in patients consuming coarse, abrasive diet. The present case reports an interesting incisal edge abrasion in a female patient, attributed to a particular dietary behavior of long-term consumption of sunflower seeds. All her family members and most of the people from her native place were also reported to have similar lesions by the patient. Larger epidemiological studies to assess the prevalence and severity of such abrasive lesions in geographic areas with this particular dietary habit need to be carried out so that people may be made aware and educated about alternative ways of eating sunflower seeds that will not cause any form of tooth wear.

Insects provide important pollination services for cops. While land use intensification has resulted in steep declines of wild pollinator diversity across agricultural landscapes, releasing managed honeybees has been proposed as a countermeasure. However, it remains uncertain whether managed honeybees can close the pollination gap of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.

Article Synopsis
- - The study analyzed soil selenium content and bioavailability in 1,985 soil samples and 120 crop/root samples from the Hetao Plain, revealing that about 5.59% of soil exceeded contamination risk values, but heavy metal levels in crops were low overall.
- - Selenium in the soil showed significant local enrichment and varied in availability, primarily influenced by natural factors; the forms of selenium were ranked by availability, with residues being the most available for plant absorption.
- - Key factors like soil texture, organic matter, and pH were found to influence selenium levels, where clay soil and high organic content could increase selenium accumulation but restrict its activity for plant uptake.
Hybrid Meat Sausages with Cereal Ingredients: A Systematic Review and Development Trial with the Assessment of Physicochemical and Sensory Attributes.

A number of consumers in developed countries are now reducing the amount of meat in their diets, so the development of novel alternatives for conventional meat products is becoming a challenge for the meat industry. The aim of this study was to analyse the possibility of developing hybrid meat sausages with cereal ingredients, based on a systematic review of the literature, as well as a development trial of a hybrid dry snack stick sausage with groats with an assessment of its physicochemical and sensory attributes. A systematic review of peer-reviewed studies about hybrid meat sausages with cereal ingredients, including bibliometric network analysis, was conducted.

The research has primarily focused on isolates (>90 % protein) when studying oilseed protein products, but there is a growing interest in concentrates (65-90 % protein) due to their industrial viability and lower environmental impact. This study aimed to compare the in vitro digestibility of rapeseed and sunflower protein concentrates with isolates. Simulated digestion was conducted, and the resulting samples were analyzed using a size-exclusion chromatography approach.

Article Synopsis
- Water desalination technology is increasingly important, especially in dry regions like Saudi Arabia, with capacitive deionization (CDI) emerging as a low-cost solution compared to traditional methods like reverse osmosis.
- The study focuses on enhancing CDI efficiency by using waste materials (sunflower seeds, peanut shells, rice husks) converted into activated carbon, while manipulating critical parameters like voltage, flow rate, and total dissolved solids (TDS) levels.
- The results show that CDI effectively reduces TDS levels, achieving maximum desalination efficiencies of 45% at 750 ppm and 56% at 500 ppm, making it a promising method for water purification.
