Plasmid-mediated dissemination of antimicrobial resistance among multidrug-resistant bacteria isolated from food-contact surfaces in university cafeterias

Abstract Microbes are the cause of foodborne illnesses, a serious global public health concern that present continuous medical and financial difficulties. In seven student cafeterias at the University Campus Peshawar, the prevalence and patterns of antibiotic resistance of multi-...

Age-associated transcriptomic heterogeneity in acute myeloid leukaemia: Evidence for mitochondrial metabolic rewiring and suppressed erythroid differentiation in older patients

Background: The incidence and clinical aggressiveness of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) both increase with patient age, yet the transcriptional programmes that distinguish older from younger AML remain incompletely defined. We characterised age-associated gene expression patterns...

Quality Evaluation of Cookies Prepared from Reduced Gluten Composite Flour of Type 2 Diabetic Patients

The present study evaluated the physicochemical and sensory quality of cookies prepared by replacing wheat flour with maize (Zea mays L.) flour at six levels: WC0 (100:0), WC1 (80:20), WC2 (60:40), WC3 (40:60), WC4 (20:80) and WC5 (0:100; wheat: maize flour, w/w). Cookies were as...

Carry-over influence of maternal L-carnitine during gestation and lactation on metabolic response of New Zealand neonatal rabbits

This study evaluated the effects of maternal L-carnitine supplementation on the growth performance, metabolic profile, and physiological responses of neonatal rabbits. A total of 160 5-month-old nulliparous pregnant New Zealand White does (2.84 ± 0.05 kg) were randomly assigned t...

Advanced detection of carcinogenic heterocyclic amines in meats: an overview of analytical and nanotechnology methods

Abstract Despite extensive research on the formation and health risks of heterocyclic amines (HAs) in cooked meats, there is a gap in comparative analysis of advanced detection methods, particularly juxtaposing classical analytical techniques against emerging nanotechnology‐based...

Access to health services as a determinant of social inclusion among persons with disabilities in Pakistan: a cross-sectional survey

The study aims to analyze the social inclusion of persons with disabilities in the context of their access to adequate health services. A Cross-Sectional survey and multistage stratified-random sampling were adopted to collect data from a sample of 488 Persons with Disabilities (...

Effects of organic amendments on greenhouse gas emissions and productivity of mungbean under subtropical field conditions

Abstract Background Agricultural practices contribute a significant proportion of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, notably carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) and nitrous oxide (N 2 O) released through the application of fertilizers. Organic amendments have the potential to support sustainable...

A secure multilayer audio encryption scheme based on chain ring algebraic S-boxes, Rössler diffusion, and 4D hyperchaotic permutation

Abstract The secure transmission of digital audio requires encryption techniques that can protect audio information against different types of cryptanalytic attacks. Existing chaos-based audio encryption methods commonly use conventional $$\:GF\left({2}^{8}\right)$$ -based substi...

Combined effects of difenoconazole and salinity stress on growth, photosynthetic pigments, and oxidative responses in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.)

Environmental contamination by pesticides and salts is a growing agricultural issue, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. Difenoconazole (DIF), a commonly used fungicide, and sodium chloride (NaCl), a widespread salinity stressor, often coexist in soil and water, yet their c...

HUMAN EMOTIONS AND PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING IN EDUCATIONAL SETTINGS: IMPLICATIONS FOR TEACHING AND LEARNING

Emotions are a basic part of everyday life in classrooms, but their role in education has been overshadowed by a narrow focus on cognition and test performance. The present study examined the interrelations of human emotions, psychological well-being and their implications for te...
