Study of the clinical manifestations and risk factors in people affected during the first Kyasanur Forest Disease outbreak in Goa, India: A mixed method study
CONCLUSION: The 'One Health' approach should be implemented to control KFD. Tick bite prevention measures coupled with vaccination of high-risk groups and intensive health education should be carried out, especially before the transmission season. There is a need to have high clinical suspicion for KFD in the region bearing in mind the non-hemorrhagic manifestation in this outbreak.PMID:38648403 | DOI:10.4103/0972-9062.383650 (Source: Journal of Vector Borne Diseases)

Reorienting research investments toward under ‐researched crops for sustainable food systems
AbstractThe dominance of a few staple crops (maize, rice, and wheat) in most agricultural systems hampers the application of interventions to improve food security and nutrition. Research and development attention has focused on improving the production and utilization of these crops, leaving other crops under-researched and underutilized. Subsequently, there have been high malnutrition rates due to poor diet diversity, yet there are “opportunity crops” that remain under researched. The opportunity crops can unlock solutions to food insecurity, malnutrition, a lack of biodiversity, and indeed poor climate adaptation. T...

Hydrogels based on lignin extracted from cashew apple bagasse and its application in antimicrobial wound dressings
Int J Biol Macromol. 2024 Feb 14:130169. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.130169. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHydrogels are versatile materials with a three-dimensional network structure that can retain water and release bioactive compounds. They have found applications in various fields, including agriculture, biomaterial synthesis, and pharmaceuticals. Incorporating natural antimicrobial compounds into hydrogels is a promising approach to developing non-toxic biomedical materials, particularly for wound healing dressings. It was evaluated the extraction and use of cashew apple bagasse lignin (CAB-Lig) due to its healing, a...

Effect of a caju ína hydroelectrolytic drink on the physical performance and hydration status of recreational runners
This study evaluated the effect of a cajuína-based hydroelectrolytic drink on the aerobic performance and hydration status of recreational runners. Seventeen males (31.9 ± 1.6 years, 51.0 ± 1.4 ml/kg/min) performed three time-to-exhaustion running sessions on a treadmill at 70% VO2max, ingesting cajuína hydroelectrolytic drink (CJ), high carbohydrate commercial hydroelectrolytic drink (CH) and mineral water (W) every 15 min during the running test. The participants ran 80.3 ± 8.4 min in CJ, 70.3 ± 6.8 min in CH and 71.8 ± 6.9 min in W, with no statistical difference between procedures. Nevertheless, an effect size o...
