Molecular and functional responses of milk-derived polymorphonuclear neutrophils from subclinical mastitis quarters to β-hydroxybutyric acid at the subclinical ketosis threshold in vitro

Subclinical ketosis (SCK), a prevalent metabolic disorder in dairy cattle characterized by elevated β-hydroxybutyric acid (BHBA) levels without clinical signs, is linked to increased susceptibility to postpartum infections such as mastitis. During mammary inflammation, circulatin...

Perspectives on the modification of electrodes by polymers of intrinsic microporosity (PIMs) for electroanalysis

Extreme molecular rigidity in the polymer backbone introduces new properties in polymer films or coatings in contact with solution, electrodes, and embedded catalysts. Polymers of intrinsic microporosity (PIMs) with highly rigid molecular structures have initially emerged as gas...

Bone mineral density and hip structural analysis in postmenopausal Thai women: a cross-sectional study

Hip Structural Analysis (HSA) provides information on proximal femoral geometry beyond conventional bone mineral density (BMD) measurements. However, data regarding bilateral hip geometry and its clinical correlates in Southeast Asian postmenopausal women remain limited. This stu...

Nanostructured Lipid Carriers Enhance In Vitro Skin Delivery of Enzymatically Extracted Bombyx mori Silk Cocoon Bioactives: Development and Clinical Evaluation of an Anti-Aging Facial Serum

Background/Objectives: This study investigated the potential of nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) to improve the in vitro skin delivery and retention of bioactive compounds derived from Bombyx mori silk cocoon. Furthermore, an NLC-based facial serum was developed and clinicall...

Panduratin A Induces Caspase-Dependent Apoptosis and G1-Associated Cell-Cycle Arrest and Enhances TNF-α-Associated Cytotoxicity in NSCLC Cells

Background: Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a major cause of cancer-related mortality. Current therapies are limited by drug resistance and adverse effects, highlighting the need for new strategies. Panduratin A (PA), a chalcone from Boesenbergia rotunda, has reported antic...

Mental Health Professionals’ Perspectives on Essential Elements of Telehealth Family Psychoeducation for Major Depressive Disorder: An Exploratory Study

Family-inclusive interventions, such as family psychoeducation (FPE), improve outcomes in major depressive disorder (MDD), particularly when tailored to the needs of individuals with MDD, their families, and carers. This study explored mental health professionals' (MHPs) perspect...

Postbiotics and Paraprobiotics as Next-Generation Gut Microbiome Modulators in Sustainable Aquaculture Health

Widespread antibiotic use in aquaculture has increased selective pressure on resident bacterial communities, accelerating the emergence of resistance in key pathogens and raising concerns for animal health, environmental microbiomes, and food-chain safety. Reducing dependence on...

Prevalence and factors associated with malnutrition in critically ill elderly patients: a retrospective cohort study

Abstract Background Malnutrition is a common but often under-recognized condition in critically ill older adults. Age-related physiological decline, including reduced nutritional reserve and increased vulnerability to stress, may exacerbate its impact; however, data focusing spec...

Predictors of high caregiver burden after hospital discharge in caregivers of older adults with hip fracture: a retrospective cohort study

Older adults with hip fracture place considerable physical and emotional strain on family caregivers, particularly during the early post-discharge period. This study aims to identify predictors of high caregiver burden within the first two weeks after hospital discharge among old...

Transition of children with chronic gastrointestinal and liver disease to adult care: A multicentre Asian survey of paediatric gastroenterologists

OBJECTIVES: The rising incidence of chronic gastrointestinal conditions and better survival of children with life-limiting diseases have resulted in the need for continuity of care into adulthood. This study aimed to detail transition practices in paediatric gastroenterology and...

Quantifying ASF Outbreak Dynamics in the Philippines (2019–2023) Using Joinpoint Regression and the Estimated Dissemination Ratio

African swine fever (ASF) remains a major constraint on swine production in the Philippines, but interpretation of its national trajectory is complicated by changes in surveillance effort and regional heterogeneity. We analyzed domestic-pig surveillance records from August 2019 t...

Digital ID as surreptitious experimentation in the humanitarian-tech industry: an ethnography of a biometric pilot in a refugee camp in the Thailand-Myanmar border

This article focuses on a technological pilot involving a digital identity system that was introduced in the hospital of a refugee camp along the Thailand-Myanmar border. Drawing on an 18-month-long ethnographic study of refugees’ experiences with biometric systems, the article a...

Pure Mycelium Sheets from Edible Mushrooms for Sustainable Packaging: A Comparative Assessment of Glycerol and ZnONPs Treatment

Increasingly, mycelium-based biomaterials are being investigated as sustainable alternatives to conventional packaging materials, but their inherent brittleness limits their practical application. The present study investigated the properties of pure mycelium sheets sourced from...

UAV‐Based Precision Seed Dropping for Automated Reforestation

ABSTRACT Wildfires and deforestation pose significant threats to forest ecosystems, motivating scalable methods for reforestation beyond labor‐intensive cultivation of native forest seedlings in nurseries. To enable large‐scale direct seeding of native species, this paper present...

Antimicrobial Efficacy of Plasma-Activated Water Against Enterococcus faecalis Biofilms: An In Vitro and Ex Vivo Study

Abstract This study evaluated the antimicrobial efficacy of plasma-activated water (PAW) against Enterococcus faecalis biofilms using in vitro and ex vivo tooth models. E. faecalis biofilms were cultivated in 96-well plates and exposed to PAW with activated times of 2, 4, 6, 8, 1...

Multiple orthoflaviviruses secrete sfRNA in mosquito saliva to promote transmission by inhibiting MDA5-mediated early interferon response

Abstract Numerous orthoflaviviruses transmitted through the bites of different mosquito species infect more than 500 million people annually. Skin infection at the bite site represents a critical and conserved step in transmission and a deeper understanding of this process will p...
