Preparation and Characterization of Liquisolid Systems of Citrus Bioflavonoid Extract for Enhancing Hesperidin Release

Citrus bioflavonoids, especially hesperidin, have garnered interest for their pharmacological attributes. The clinical applicability of hesperidin is constrained by its limited absorption. This study aimed to prepare and characterize liquisolid systems of citrus bioflavonoid extr...

Partial replacement of concentrate with fermented cassava products in Thai native × Lowline Angus cattle: effects on nutrient utilization and rumen fermentation

Context In tropical regions where cassava (Manihot esculenta) is widely cultivated, its byproducts (tops and pulp) represent underutilized feed resources despite their nutritional potential. Aim The study evaluated the effects of replacing concentrate with dried cassava tops ferm...

Experiences and coping strategies among cancer patients with cancer-related cognitive impairment treated with chemotherapy: a mixed-methods systematic review

Cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI) is a common, distressing symptom among cancer patients, particularly those undergoing or having completed chemotherapy. Our study seeks to understand the experiences and needs of cancer patients with CRCI, the coping strategies that they...

Adrenal Infections: An Underrecognized Cause of Primary Adrenal Insufficiency

INTRODUCTION: Adrenal infections are an underrecognized but clinically significant cause of primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI). OBJECTIVES: This review proposes a diagnostic algorithm for the evaluation of suspected cases. RESULTS: The most common causative pathogens are Mycobac...

Integrated Strategy for Sustainable Outdoor Photo-Fermentative Biohydrogen Production: Sequential Optimization, Repeated-Batch Operation, Modular Bioreactor Simulation, and Biomass Valorization

This study developed an integrated strategy for outdoor photo-fermentative biohydrogen production by Rhodopseudomonas pentothenatexigens KKU-SN1/1 through low-cost medium optimization, repeated-batch operation, modular bioreactor simulation, and biomass valorization. A sequential...

Eggshell‐Derived Surface‐Modified Hydroxyapatite as a Sustainable Filler for Styrene–Butadiene Rubber Composites

ABSTRACT This study demonstrates the conversion of eggshell waste into hydroxyapatite (HAP) as a sustainable bio‐derived reinforcing filler for styrene–butadiene rubber (SBR) composites. HAP was synthesized from eggshell‐derived calcium oxide and surface‐modified by ball milling...

A New Species of Curcuma subgen. Ecomatae (Zingiberaceae) from Southwestern Thailand: Morphological Delimitation and Phenetic Evidence

Curcuma subgen. Ecomatae comprises several morphologically similar taxa whose delimitation requires careful evaluation of character combinations and intraspecific variation. Botanical surveys across Southwestern Thailand revealed six geographically separated populations of an uni...

Comparison of two repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation protocols for upper trapezius myofascial pain syndrome: A randomized trial

Background Upper trapezius myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is a common contributor to chronic neck pain and functional limitations. Repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (rPMS) has emerged as a non-invasive neuromodulatory intervention; however, the optimal stimulation durati...

A multi-dimensional approach to customer advocacy: examining the role of hotel components through the lens of TRA and SOR theories

Purpose This study aims to explore the components of hotels to understand how customers perceive the experience of the service offerings and to examine differences in the perceptions of customers related to the hotel components that influence customer experience, positive emotion...

Ru-Promoted Ni/ZIF-8 Catalysts for C–C Coupling in the Upgrading of Acetone–Butanol–Ethanol Mixtures

Catalytic upgrading of acetone–butanol–ethanol (ABE) mixtures provides a route to higher-value oxygenates for chemicals and fuel precursors. Here, Ni-, Ru-, and Ni–Ru-loaded ZIF-8 catalysts were prepared and evaluated for ABE upgrading, with particular emphasis on C7 oxygenate fo...

Perceptions and emergency medical service use for acute myocardial infarction among community-dwelling older adults: an embedded mixed method study

Acute myocardial infarction is a medical emergency where timely treatment is critical to improving survival. Older adults, however, delay seeking treatment and experience increased mortality because of misunderstandings and negative attitudes toward emergency medical services, es...

Drivers of voluntary food safety standard adoption in developing value chains: Evidence from Cambodian fish processors

Traditional fish processing is vital to rural food security in Cambodia but faces severe food safety challenges. This study evaluates the socio-economic and institutional drivers of food safety standard adoption, focusing on the voluntary Cambodia Quality Seal (CQS). Utilizing a...

Designing measurement for calibration: an instrument-design framework for fsQCA applications in tourism research

Purpose This article introduces “Measurement Before Calibration,” a design-oriented framework for developing survey instruments capable of yielding interpretable, theory-driven fuzzy-set memberships in fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis. It addresses the upstream methodol...

A multicenter multistate modeling on the natural history of liver decompensation: Longitudinal analysis of 1777 patients.

BACKGROUND: Cirrhosis often remains silent until decompensation, after which survival deteriorates sharply. Contemporary, transition-aware estimates are limited, especially in Asian-predominant cohorts. We analyzed trajectories from compensated advanced chronic liver disease (cAC...

Optimizing Tuberculosis Incidence Prediction: A Systematic Review of Hybrid Modeling Approaches and Machine Learning Techniques
