This study aimed to develop texture-modified (TMD) that is safe, well-shaped, and easy to chew and swallow. As the fermentation proceeded, the pH decreased, and the total acidity and total number of lactic acid bacteria increased. The hardness of the TMD decreased significantly by more than 96% (< 0.05) as compared to that of the control. Significant differences in the hardness and shape were observed between two TMD samples-TMD 1 and TMD 2. Sensory evaluation showed that TMD 1 and TMD 2 were adequate for the elderly people suffering from difficulties in mastication and deglutition. Compared to TMD 1, TMD 2 showed higher values of hardness and swallowness and was more preferred by the elderly. Thus, TMD that is easy to chew and swallow has sufficient competitiveness in food safety, food taste, and food preference.

Puberty is a particularly vulnerable time for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) during which baseline challenges are exacerbated, functioning often deteriorates, and additional barriers emerge. Specific concerns include increased vulnerability, decreased safety, and increased mood and behavioral disturbances. Youth with ASD need guidance and explicit instruction/skill development on topics such as hygiene/self-care, appropriate sexual activity, and menstruation management.

Ferrate (Fe(VI)) is a widely used water purifier and is easily affected by external factors. Given that the actual water environment conditions are complicated, this study designed an oxygen-doped carbon nitride (CNO) with rich electron sites to explore whether direct electron transfer promotes the degradation efficiency of Fe(VI) for pollutants under visible light. For comparison, we also prepared phosphorus-doped carbon nitride (CNP), which has electron-deficient sites and indirect electron transfer.

Variations in hue and contrast are common in H&E-stained pathology images due to differences in slide preparation across various institutions. Such stain variations, while not affecting pathologists much in diagnosing the biopsy, pose significant challenges for computer-assisted diagnostic systems, leading to potential underdiagnosis or misdiagnosis, especially when stain differentiation introduces substantial heterogeneity across datasets from different sources. Traditional stain normalization methods, aimed at mitigating these issues, often require labor-intensive selection of appropriate templates, limiting their practicality and automation.

In recent years, zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) have gained much attention in biomedical applications because of their distinctive physicochemical features such as low toxicity and biocompatible properties. Traditional methods to produce ZnO NPs sometimes include harmful substances and considerable energy consumption, causing environmental issues and potential health risks. Nowadays, the concern of ZnO production has moved toward environmentally friendly and sustainable synthesis methods, using natural extracts or plant-based precursors.

Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and their biocompatible conjugates find wide use as transducers in (bio)sensors and as Nano-pharmaceutics. The study of the interaction between AuNPs and proteins in representative application media helps to better understand their intrinsic behaviors. A multi-environment, multi-parameter screening strategy is proposed based on asymmetric flow field flow fractionation (AF4)-multidetector.
