Short-Term Safety of Nutri-Jelly in Adults Undergoing Hemodialysis.

Excessive water consumption from liquid or reconstituted oral nutrition supplements may increase risk of fluid overload in renal patients. Nutri-jelly, a ready-to-eat texture-modified diet with 52.8% water, some protein, low potassium, phosphorus, and sodium, could be an alternative.

Optimization of diformylfuran production from 5-hydroxymethylfurfural catalytic oxidation in a packed-bed continuous flow reactor.

DFF's diverse applications in pharmaceuticals, fungicides, and polymer synthesis motivate the development of efficient production methods. This study reports the continuous-flow synthesis of DFF from 5-HMF in a packed-bed reactor. The Box-Behnken design coupled with response surface methodology (RSM) was employed to optimize the reaction parameters (catalyst, solvent, temperature, oxygen flow rate, catalyst amount) for DFF yield.

var. berry extract and cyanidin-3-glucoside inhibit hepatotoxicity and apoptosis.

Excessive oxidative toxicity in liver cells is a significant risk factor that can cause cellular injury, leading to the development of chronic liver disease (CLD). Natural anthocyanins have been shown to prevent the harmful effects of oxidative toxicity in mammalian cells. Ripe var.

Efficacy of a dietary supplement derived from five edible plants on telomere length in Thai adults: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.

Mylife/Mylife100® is a dietary supplement consisting of black sesame seed, guava fruit, mangosteen aril, pennywort leaves, and soy protein. These edible plants contain multiple high-potential bioactive compounds exerting various vital biological functions including antioxidants which contribute to delaying the rate of telomere shortening. Telomere length is associated with cellular aging and age-related diseases.

Begoniafimbristipulasubsp.siamensis (sect. Diploclinium, Begoniaceae), a new taxon of the megadiverse genus endemic to Thailand.

The genus has not only been recognised to be one of the mega-diverse plant genera but also as one found to comprise many undiscovered species. In particular, the increase of extensive field surveys in tropical regions of Southeast Asia has added to the discovery of many new species that are often found only in a few localities. In this study, the new taxon Begoniafimbristipulasubsp.

The roles of HMGB1-produced DNA gaps in DNA protection and aging biomarker reversal.

The endogenous DNA damage triggering an aging progression in the elderly is prevented in the youth, probably by naturally occurring DNA gaps. Decreased DNA gaps are found during chronological aging in yeast. So we named the gaps "Youth-DNA-GAPs.

Different responses of soil respiration to environmental factors across forest stages in a Southeast Asian forest.

Soil respiration (SR) in forests contributes significant carbon dioxide emissions from terrestrial ecosystems and is highly sensitive to environmental changes, including soil temperature, soil moisture, microbial community, surface litter, and vegetation type. Indeed, a small change in SR may have large impacts on the global carbon balance, further influencing feedbacks to climate change. Thus, detailed characterization of SR responses to changes in environmental conditions is needed to accurately estimate carbon dioxide emissions from forest ecosystems.

Exploring contribution to early flowering in plants under daily variable temperature and its tissue-specific flowering gene network.

Molecular mechanisms of how constant temperatures affect flowering time have been largely characterized in the model plant ; however, the effect of natural daily variable temperature outside laboratories is only partly explored. Several flowering genes have been shown to play important roles in temperature responses, including () and (), the two genes encoding for the transcription factors (TFs) that act antagonistically to regulate flowering time by activating and repressing floral integrator (), respectively. In this study, we have taken a multidisciplinary approach to explore the contribution of to the early flowering observed in the daily variable temperature (VAR) and to broaden its transcriptional network using publicly available transcriptomic data.

Provoked versus unprovoked venous thromboembolism: Findings from GARFIELD-VTE.

Introduction: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) has a long-term risk of recurrence, dependent on the presence or absence of provoking risk factors at the time of the event.

Objective: To compare clinical characteristics, anticoagulant patterns, and 12-month outcomes in patients with transient provoking factors, active cancer, and unprovoked VTE.

Methods: The Global Anticoagulant Registry in the FIELD (GARFIELD)-VTE is a prospective, observational study that enrolled 10 207 patients with objectively diagnosed VTE from 415 sites in 28 countries.

Mass deworming for improving health and cognition of children in endemic helminth areas: A systematic review and individual participant data network meta-analysis.

Background: Soil transmitted (or intestinal) helminths and schistosomes affect millions of children worldwide.

Objectives: To use individual participant data network meta-analysis (NMA) to explore the effects of different types and frequency of deworming drugs on anaemia, cognition and growth across potential effect modifiers.

Search Methods: We developed a search strategy with an information scientist to search MEDLINE, CINAHL, LILACS, Embase, the Cochrane Library, Econlit, Internet Documents in Economics Access Service (IDEAS), Public Affairs Information Service (PAIS), Social Services Abstracts, Global Health CABI and CAB Abstracts up to March 27, 2018.
