AI Article Synopsis

  • The study shows that the isothiocyanates sulforaphane (SFN) and erucin (ERN) prevent lipid autoxidation at high temperatures (specifically at 140 °C) but not at lower temperatures (below 100 °C).
  • The inhibition is linked to the thermal breakdown of SFN and ERN into sulfenic acids and methylsulfinyl radicals, which can effectively capture lipidperoxyl radicals.
  • These findings provide new insights into how cooking or thermal processing affects vegetables that contain these beneficial compounds.

Article Abstract

In this communication we demonstrate that two natural isothiocyanates, sulforaphane (SFN) and erucin (ERN), inhibit autoxidation of lipids at 140 °C but not below 100 °C. This effect is due to thermal decomposition of ERN and SFN to sulfenic acids and methylsulfinyl radicals, species able to trap lipidperoxyl radicals. Our observations shed new light on thermal processing of vegetables containing these two isothiocyanates.

Introduction: The importance of community-based studies is not in doubt, however only few exist because of the complexity and challenges associated with them. Little data exists on these complexities and challenges in West Africa. This study aimed to describe the experiences, challenges and lessons learnt from a community-based Nutritional survey carried out in Nigeria.

The unprecedented availability of increasingly complex, voluminous, and multi-dimensional data as well as the emergence of data science as an evolving field provide ideal opportunities to address the multi-faceted public health challenges faced by low and middle income countries (LMIC), especially those in sub-Saharan Africa. However, there is a severe lack of well-trained data scientists and home-grown educational programs to enable context-specific training. The lack of human capacity and resources for public health data analysis as well as the dire need to use modern technology for better understanding and possible intervention cannot be dealt with currently available educational programs and computing infrastructure, demanding a great deal of collaboration and investments within Africa and with the Global North This paper describes processes undertaken to establish sustainable research training programs and to train a new generation of data scientists with knowledge, mentoring, professional skills, and research immersion.

Rinderpest and peste des petits ruminants (PPR) are two closely related viral diseases caused by viruses belonging to the genus Morbillivirus and affecting ruminants. Both diseases are notifiable to the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) due to their high contagiosity and economic importance. International collaboration and scientific developments have led to the eradication of rinderpest, which was celebrated in 2011, 250 years after the first veterinary school was created in Lyon.

Introduction: Although failures are undesirable, they offer valuable learning opportunities that drive progress through necessary changes. This concept holds particularly true in the history of urethral reconstruction.

Methods: A comprehensive literature review was conducted using PubMed, focusing on the history of the urethral stricture and current trends based on national and international guidelines for urethral stricture management.

Despite advanced in targeted cancer therapies, anthracyclines remain essential in treating various malignancies, albeit with risks of cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD). Out of the myriad of mitigation strategies for CTRCD, statins are an attractive preventive therapy for anthracycline associated CTRCD given their widespread availability, cheap costs and added benefit of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk reduction. Recent trials of PREVENT, SPARE-HF, and STOP-CA investigated atorvastatin's efficacy in preventing CTRCD, with mixed outcomes.
