There have been inconsistent reports regarding the association between dietary acid load and Metabolic Syndrome (MetS). We aimed to investigate the association between dietary acid load and MetS in an Iranian adult population. In this cross-sectional study, 1945 participants aged 35-65 years were recruited from MASHAD cohort study. Dietary intakes were assessed using a 24-h dietary recall. Diet-based acidity was assessed as the net endogenous acid production (NEAP), potential renal acid load (PRAL), and dietary acid load (DAL). To define MetS, the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) criteria were used. Multivariable logistic regression models were applied to determine the association between diet-based acid load scores and MetS. Participants' mean age and BMI were 47.13 ± 7.78 years and 27.57 ± 4.48 kg/m, respectively. Around 57% of the population was female. Overall, 31.9% had MetS. According to the full-adjusted model, there was a significant association between higher quartiles of PRAL, NEAP, and DAL and MetS (Q4 PRAL; OR (95%CI) 1.42(1.05-1.91), Q4 NEAP; OR (95%CI) 1.48(1.11-1.98), Q4 DAL; OR (95%CI) 1.44(1.05-1.91)). This study showed a significant positive association between different dietary acid load indicators (PRAL, NEAP, and DAL) and odds of MetS among Iranian adults.

Glassphalt suffers from performance defects, especially against moisture damage and fatigue cracking. In this research, the performance of glassphalt modified with CF has been evaluated against moisture damage, fatigue cracking and rutting. Based on this, Modified Lottman, Wilhelmy Plate (WP), Indirect Tensile Stiffness Modulus (ITSM), Indirect Tensile Fatigue (ITF), and Repeated Load Axial (RLA) tests have been performed on glassphalt modified with CF.

The effect of fermented foods on healthy human gut microbiota structure and function, particularly its seasonal preference and frequent long-term consumption, has been largely uncharacterised. Here, we assess the gut microbiota and metabolite composition of 78 healthy Indian agrarian individuals who differ in the intake of fermented milk and soybean products by seasonal sampling during hot-humid summer, autumn and dry winter. Here we show that, seasonal shifts between the Prevotella- and Bifidobacterium/Ruminococcus-driven community types, or ecological states, and associated fatty acid derivatives, with a bimodal change in Bacteroidota community structure during summer, particularly in fermented milk consumers.

Black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) can valorise different organic matter and yield a product of high nutritional value. The lack of knowledge about the microbial safety of BSFL grown on different organic waste streams influences the commercialisation of BSFL as stockfeed ingredient. This study evaluates the microbial safety of BSFL grown on five different commercial food waste streams collected from two commercial production facilities.

Objective: To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection among voluntary blood donors and provide a foundation for improving the donor recruitment strategies and developing a more scientific and effective HIV screening strategy.
Methods: HIV testing data from voluntary blood donors in Nanchang, collected from January 2021 to February 2024, were analyzed. According to the serologic and nucleic acid sequence detection mode, two different reagents were used for ELISA detection and NAT detection.

Photosynthetic eukaryotic microalgae are key primary producers in the Antarctic sea ice environment. Anticipated changes in sea ice thickness and snow load due to climate change may cause substantial shifts in available light to these ice-associated organisms. This study used a laboratory-based experiment to investigate how light levels, simulating different sea ice and snow thicknesses, affect fatty acid (FA) composition in two ice associated microalgae species, the pennate diatom Nitzschia cf.
