A bioactive film with two concentrations of sage seed gum (SSG) (1 % and 1.5 %) incorporating 2 % and 4 % Zataria multiflora essential oil (ZMEO) nanoemulsion was developed. Microbiological evaluation, including disc diffusion and time-kill tests, as well as mechanical and chemical characteristics namely film thickness, water-solubility, water vapor permeability, tensile strength and elongation at break, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) analysis, antioxidant activity, and color analysis, were examined. Results showed that the antimicrobial properties of SSG films incorporating ZMEO nanoemulsion increased significantly (P < 0.05) by the multiplication of essential oil concentration. The films with 1 % SSG-4 % ZMEO showed acceptable antioxidant properties (∼65 %), and improved physical properties (508 % thickness increase, 56.63 % water solubility decrease, and 36.85 % water vapor permeability decrease), whereas tensile strength decreased only 29.8 %, and elongation increased 115 %. According to the results, SSG-ZMEO film may have positive potential impacts on increasing the shelf-life of foodstuffs.

Article Synopsis
- Electrospun fibers, while desirable for their features, are mechanically fragile and require support, leading to the development of bio-based multilayer films using strong sage seed gum-gelatin as outer layers and zein-pomegranate extract in the middle.
- These multilayer films showed improved thickness (0.18 to 0.25 mm), tensile strength (increased from 60.8 to 70.2 MPa), and reduced permeability to water vapor and oxygen by 72.4% and 82.6%, respectively.
- The research demonstrates significant enhancements in antioxidant activity and antimicrobial properties as the electrospun layer thickness increases, indicating potential for sustainable packaging solutions.
Eco-friendly nanocomposite biofilm based on sage seed gum/gelatin/TiO: Fabrication and characterization.

In the current study, the sage seed gum/gelatin-TiO (SG/Ge-TiO) nanocomposite films were prepared. Their physical, mechanical, chemical, barrier, surface, structural, and microbial characteristics are determined as a function of different ratios of sage seed gum (SG) to gelatin (1 to 2, 2 to 1 and 1 to 1) and different concentrations of TiO nanoparticles (0, 2, 4 % based on biopolymer (w/v)). The results indicated increases in the tensile strength, elongation at break, thickness, brightness (L*), whiteness index (WI), and contact angle, as gelatin content and concentration of TiO nanoparticles increase.

Anal high-risk human papillomavirus (HRHPV) testing-based anal cancer screening gay and bisexual men (GBM) is associated with high sensitivity, but low specificity. We report the potential role of triage use of anal cytology with HRHPV testing in detecting 12-month persistent anal high-grade squamous epithelial lesions (HSIL) in a cohort of GBM in Sydney, Australia. Participants were GBM from the Study of the Prevention of Anal Cancer (SPANC) who underwent annual anal HPV testing, cytology, and high-resolution anoscopy (HRA)-guided histology.

While nitrous oxide (NO) has demonstrated antidepressant properties in treatment-resistant major depression (TRD), little is known about neural mechanisms mediating these effects. Employing serial resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI), we compared spatiotemporal effects of inhaled NO on brain functional connectivity in TRD patients (n=14) and non-depressed healthy controls (n=16, CNTL). Participants received sequential, one-hour inhalations of either 50% NO/oxygen or air/oxygen (placebo), with sessions separated by at least one month in random cross-over order.
