Development and evaluation of gluten free pasta from brown rice, quinoa, and chickpeas for celiac disease patients
Abstract The demand for gluten-free products for people suffering from a gluten allergy is increasing. Therefore, the aim of this study was to produce high-quality gluten-free pasta from bro...
Exploring virulence factors, virulome, and multidrug resistance of Klebsiella pneumoniae strains isolated from patients with central Line-associated bloodstream infections
Abstract This study aimed to analyze the antibiotic resistance patterns and virulence profiles of Klebsiella pneumoniae, a prevalent gram-negative pathogen linked to CLABSI patients globally...
70 Years of observational weather data show increasing fire danger for boreal Europe and reveal bias of ERA5 reanalysed data
Abstract Retrospective analyses of fire danger typically use reanalysed data, but its relation to observed fire danger is not well researched. Here we use daily weather observations to calcu...
Induction of chronic prostatitis does not alter the innate contractile properties of the prostate or urethra in rats
Abstract The current study aimed to examine how smooth muscle contractile properties and expression of functional proteins in the urethra and prostate are affected in an animal model of chro...
The ability of captive spider monkeys, Ateles geoffroyi, to visually discriminate between different sizes of food and of non-edible objects
Abstract Field studies suggest that the size of potential food items plays an important role in the food selection behavior of nonhuman primates. However, there is only limited knowledge abo...
Thymoquinone controlled obesity and invigorated cognitive and memory performance in rats consuming a high-fat diet via modulating oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptosis
Abstract The current study investigated the mitigating effects of thymoquinone (TQ) against high-fat diet (HFD)-mediated brain injury, cognitive and memory impairment, and the underlying mec...
A genetically tractable branch of environmental Pedobacter from the phylum Bacteroidota represents a hotspot for natural product discovery
Abstract Emerging global challenges, such as antimicrobial resistance, have shifted the focus of natural product discovery from well-characterized microbial prod...
Optimizing RetinaNet anchors using differential evolution for improved object detection
Abstract Object detection is a fundamental task in computer vision. It has two primary types: one-stage detectors known for their high speed and efficiency, and two-stage detectors, which of...
Neuroprotective and probiotic potential of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum AM2 in cognitive impairment
Abstract This study aimed to isolate and characterize an acetylcholine-producing probiotic strain and to evaluate its potential anti-Alzheimer properties in D-galactose rat model. Nine Lacto...
Suprachoroidal implantation of corticosteroid slow release implants for the treatment of cystoid macular edema
Abstract In cases of an unstable iris-lens diaphragm, intravitreal corticosteroid slow-release implants (CSRI) may accidentally migrate into the anterior chamber, leading to damage to the co...
Multistage pig identification using a sequential ear tag detection pipeline
Abstract Reliable animal identification in livestock husbandry is essential for various applications, including behavioral monitoring, welfare assessment, and the analysis of social structur...
Prevalence of and risk factors for postoperative delirium among children after cardiac surgery in a Single-Centre retrospective study
Abstract Due to the increasing focus on neurodevelopment in children with congenital heart disease (CHD), early predictive markers are crucial for implementing i...
One step synthesis of Ag nanoparticles incorporated PVA nanocomposite via plasma reduction route
Abstract PVA/Ag nanocomposite films were synthesized via a one-step plasma-solution reduction method with varying processing times. Following synthesis, the PVA/Ag NP solutions were cast to...
Correction: Paired proteomic analysis reveals protein alterations in sun-exposed skin of professional drivers
Children’s cortical speech tracking in face-to-face and online video communication
Abstract In today’s digital age, online video communication has become an important way for children to interact with their social partners, especially given the increased use of such tools...
A novel nanoparticle glutathione and Lepidium sativum treatment for gentamicin-induced acute renal failure in rats
Abstract Acute renal failure (ARF) is a sudden, significant, and often reversible decline in kidney function, with 25% of all hospital-administered pharmaceuticals potentially causing nephro...
Experiences of stigma among caregivers of children with disabilities in Freetown
Abstract Stigma surrounding disability continues to shape the lives of affected individuals and their families across diverse contexts. Studies indicate that caregivers of children l...
Evaluation of podoplanin expression in vulvar squamous cell carcinoma and stromal fibroblasts and its prognostic implications
Abstract Although the immunohistochemical expression of the transmembrane sialoglycoprotein podoplanin (D2-40) has been repeatedly reported as a factor of prognosis in various tumor entities...
Cytotoxicity evaluation and metabolomic profiling of Spheciospongia vagabunda-associated fungi corroborated by in silico studies
Abstract Cancer incidence continues to increase every year. Scientists strive to search for new anticancer compounds to combat this disease. Appealingly, marine environmental niches are stil...
A comparative analysis between NAT and chemiluminescence in detection of transfusion transmitted viruses in two main university blood transfusion centers
Abstract Nucleic acid amplification Testing (NAT) is expected to minimize the potential risk of transfusion transmitted infections (TTIs) which escaped the detection by serologic screening....
Effective workflow from multimodal MRI data to model-based prediction
Abstract Predicting human behavior from neuroimaging data remains a complex challenge in neuroscience. To address this, we propose a systematic and multi-faceted framework that incorporates...
