AI Article Synopsis

  • * Researchers developed a new method to evaluate how stable this extract is over time by testing it under different temperature and humidity conditions, focusing on the degradation of cyanidin-3-glucoside (C3G), which helps track the extract's overall stability.
  • * The study found that the current formulation with Arabic gum didn't adequately preserve the MCE, predicting a shelf-life of only 26-33 days, suggesting a need for a better formulation to increase the extract's longevity.

Article Abstract

Moradyn is an Italian purple corn variety whose cobs represent a rich source of polyphenols. At the industrial level, they are used to produce a dried extract (MCE) by the addition of 20% Arabic gum. In order to evaluate the extract solid-state stability, an innovative accelerated stress protocol was developed following the isoconversion approach. The degradation kinetics of cyanidin-3--glucoside (C3G), the most suitable marker to monitor the overall MCE degradation status, was monitored under five temperature-humidity (RH) combinations. These data were used to build a mathematical model, able to estimate the C3G stability at 25 °C and 30% RH, whose predictiveness was further assessed by comparing the predicted vs. experimental C3G isoconversion time. Finally, by applying this model, the expiry date of the extract was calculated to be within 26-33 days, confirming that the addition of 20% Arabic gum is insufficient to stabilize MCE and highlighting the need of a new formula in order to prolong MCE shelf-life.

Intravascular Imaging as a Performance Measure for Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.

Circ Cardiovasc Interv

January 2025

Division of Cardiology, Department of Medicine, University of Washington Medical Center, Seattle (E.J.S., T. Salahuddin, J.A.D.).

Background: Intravascular imaging (IVI) is widely recognized to improve outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, IVI is underutilized and is not yet established as a performance measure for quality PCI.

Methods: We examined temporal trends of IVI use for all PCIs performed at Veterans Affairs hospitals in the United States from 2010 to 2022 using retrospective observational cohorts.

Niche shift and localized competitive dynamics influence the persistence and distribution of polyploids in the genus Achillea (Asteraceae).

Background And Aims: Competition with sympatric diploid progenitor(s) hinders the persistence of polyploids. The hypothesis that polyploids escape from competition through niche shifts has been widely tested; however, niche escape is unlikely to completely avoid competition. Given species growing in less favorable environments likely have weaker competitive abilities, we hypothesize that polyploid populations tend to persist in areas where their progenitors with relatively low habitat suitability.

Dalla Lana School of Public Health, University of Toronto, Health Sciences Building, 155 College Street, 6th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, M5T 3M7, Canada.

Background: Multimorbidity, the co-occurrence of two or more chronic conditions, is associated with the social determinants of health. Using comprehensive linked population-representative data, we sought to understand the combined effect of multiple social determinants on multimorbidity incidence in Ontario, Canada.

Methods: Ontario respondents aged 20-55 in 2001-2011 cycles of the Canadian Community Health Survey were linked to administrative health data ascertain multimorbidity status until 2022.
