Ascariasis, caused by the parasitic roundworm Ascaris lumbricoides, is a major public health issue, especially in developing nations such as Pakistan. It impacts millions, causing significant morbidity through starvation, stunted growth in children, and a variety of gastrointestinal issues. The taxonomy of the Ascaris genus, notably the distinction between A.

Microfibers (MFs) represent one of the most prominent sources of microplastics in aquatic environments, primarily released during textile washing alongside surfactants found in laundry detergents. This study aimed to investigate the biodegradability of natural (cotton) and synthetic (polyester) MFs individually and in combination with two surfactants: sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS, anionic) and polyoxyethylene glycerol ester (PGE-OE6, nonionic). Using the OECD 301 F test, the research assessed biodegradation patterns and environmental interactions.

Article Synopsis
- Sepsis, a severe reaction to bacterial infection, leads to widespread organ dysfunction and is typically treated with conventional antibiotics, which can cause side effects.
- Researchers synthesized silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) using earthworm extract to explore their effectiveness in treating sepsis, employing various analysis techniques to characterize them.
- In a study with male mice, Ag NPs treatment significantly improved liver and kidney functions and showed promising antioxidant effects, suggesting their potential as a protective agent against sepsis-related damage.
Plant-based egg washes for use in baked goods: Machine learning and visual parameter analysis.

November 2024
Department of Food Science, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana, USA.
Pea protein is one potential environmentally sustainable way of recreating the functionality of eggs in coatings for baked goods. These coatings are commonly applied to enhance visual properties of baked goods that consumers desire, especially color and gloss. This project used a simplified pie crust formulation (flour, shortening, and water) as a model baked good system to investigate color and gloss properties of pea protein coatings comprising three pea protein glycerol ratios, prepared at 2 pH values, and applied at three different weights, baked for either 15 or 30 min.
