Effect of in-bag dielectric barrier discharge cold plasma (IB-DBD-CP) on the keeping quality of Asian sea bass slices (ASBS) packaged under different gases during refrigerated storage at 4 °C was studied. ASBS without and with IB-DBD-CP treatment packaged under the gas combination of argon and oxygen (10:90) (gas A) or the mixtures of carbon dioxide, argon and oxygen (60:30:10) (gas B) and the control (kept in air) were monitored for quality changes up to 18 days. ASBS treated with IB-DBD-CP, regardless of gas composition, had lower microbial loads than those without treatment and the control (p < 0.05). The shelf-life of ASBS was prolonged to 9 and 12 days after being packaged under gas A and B, respectively without IB-DBD-CP treatment, while 6 days were recorded for the control. However, ASBS treated with IB-DBD-CP, packaged under gas A and B had the shelf-life of 12 and 15 days, respectively. Throughout the storage, trimethylamine content and total volatile nitrogen base content were lower in ASBS treated with IB-DBD-CP, particularly those packaged under gas B than that without treatment and the control (p < 0.05). Nevertheless, lipid oxidation as well as protein oxidation were higher in samples treated with IB-DBD-CP, regardless of gas composition used, in comparison with untreated counterpart. Therefore, IB-DBD-CP of ASBS packaged under high ratio of CO (60%) along with argon and oxygen was the potential method for augmenting the shelf-life of ASBS for >15 days at 4 °C.

Sea cucumbers paradoxically suffer from being both highly prized and commonly disregarded. As an Asian medicine and delicacy, they command fabulous prices and are thus overfished, poached, and trafficked. As noncharismatic animals, many are understudied and inadequately protected.

Objective: The World Health Organization (WHO) Southeast Asian region, comprising a quarter of the global population, faces significant healthcare challenges influenced by diverse economic and social conditions. The objective of this study is to map the Digital Health Intervention (DHI) functionalities across the nine axes of the healthcare system challenges (HSCs) model; we use WHO's DHIs classification framework and the Health System Challenges model. Our study findings help identify the gaps in the potential of the existing DHIs in addressing health system challenges in low- and middle-income countries.

Many species of noctuid moths exhibit long-distance migratory behavior and have an important pollination service function in terrestrial ecosystems. (Fabricius) is a globally distributed insect; however, its role in pollination remains underexplored. In this study, the feeding preferences and inter regional pollination of adults were explored.

Organisms occupy diverse ecological niches worldwide, each with characteristics finely evolved for their environments. Crustaceans residing in deep-sea hydrothermal vents, recognized as one of Earth's extreme environments, may have adapted to withstand severe conditions, including elevated temperatures and pressure. This study compares the exoskeletons of two vent crustaceans (bythograeid crab sp.

Article Synopsis
  • Cervical cancer rates are significantly higher in Southeast Asia compared to Northern America, emphasizing the need for accessible self-diagnostic methods due to less frequent screening.
  • This study created the first microRNA biomarker panel aimed at early detection of cervical cancer in Thai women, using a combination of tissue and discharge samples from patients with high-grade lesions.
  • An 18-miRNA panel was identified, achieving a 90.9% accuracy in distinguishing between high-grade lesions and normal samples, with most miRNAs being down-regulated, suggesting their potential as non-invasive diagnostic tools for cervical cancer.
