Regulatory landscape and public perception for gene-edited bananas in the Southeast Asian region
Transgenic Res. 2024 Apr 10. doi: 10.1007/s11248-024-00379-9. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBanana is a premier fruit crop in many parts of the world especially Southeast Asia. The demand for banana has contributed to significant national income to primary banana producers in the SEA region such as the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, and Malaysia. However, the widely traded banana industry is plagued by numerous threats including pests and diseases, post-harvest issues and extreme climate vulnerability. To address these challenges, new breeding techniques such as gene editing have been explored for breeding prog...

An insight into emergence of lumpy skin disease virus: a threat to Indian cattle
Arch Microbiol. 2024 Apr 9;206(5):210. doi: 10.1007/s00203-024-03932-6.ABSTRACTLumpy skin disease (LSD) is a highly infectious and economically devastating viral disease of cattle. It is caused by Lumpy Skin Disease Virus (LSDV) belonging to the genus Capripoxvirus and family Poxviridae. The origin of lumpy skin disease has been traced to Zambia, (an African nation) in Southern part during the year 1929. The first reported case of LSD besides Africa was from Israel, a Middle Eastern nation, thus proving inter-continental spread. Subsequently, the disease entered Middle East, Eastern Europe and Asia with numerous outbreaks ...

The expansion of medical education in the Dutch East Indies and the formation of the Indonesian medical profession
Med Hist. 2024 Apr 8:1-21. doi: 10.1017/mdh.2024.11. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn 1851, the colonial administration of the Dutch East Indies established a two-year program to educate young Javanese men to become vaccinators in Batavia (today's Jakarta). During the following sixty years, the medical curriculum was expanded several times; in 1913, it consisted of a ten-year program. In 1927, the Batavia Medical School, granting degrees equivalent to those of Dutch university-affiliated medical schools, commenced operations. Consequently, a steadily increasing number of Indonesian physicians with various credentials were ...

Molecules, Vol. 29, Pages 1642: Phytochemical Constituent Analysis of Phyllanthus emblica L. Fruit Nanoherbals by LC-HRMS and Their Antimutagenic Activity and Teratogenic Effects
This study aims to determine the phytochemical constituents of Phyllanthus emblica L. fruit nanoherbals by LC-HRMS analysis and their antimutagenic activity and teratogenic effects. The study commenced by producing nanoherbal extracts from P. emblica fruit. The phytochemical composition of these extracts was then analyzed using LC-HRMS. The nanoherbal extracts were also tested for their ability to prevent mutations, as indicated by a reduction in micronuclei observed in mouse femur bone marrow smear preparations. The teratogenicity test involved administering the P. emblica fruit nanoherbal at 100, 500, and 1000 mg/kg BW d...

Effects of COVID-19 on coastal and marine environments: Aggravated microplastic pollution, improved air quality, and future perspective
In conclusion, the air was cleaner due to the lockdown, but the coastal and marine contamination of plastic, microplastic, and emerging contaminants got worse during the COVID-19 pandemic. Last but not least, the study proposed four strategies to deal with the coastal and marine pollution caused by COVID-19, which were regular marine monitoring, performance of risk assessment, effective regulation of plastic wastes, and close international cooperation.PMID:38579953 | DOI:10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.141900 (Source: Chemosphere)

Technological acceptance and features needed in mobile health apps development for people living with dementia and their caregivers in Indonesia
This study started with questionnaire development through focused-group discussion with experts, caregivers and PLWD. It was followed by item development involving experts in geriatrics (psychiatry, internal medicine, medical rehabilitation and neurology) to prepare an online questionnaire. We considered using jargon and words that are familiar to users. The data collected was analyzed for the technological acceptance model (TAM) using Structural Equation Model (SEM). This study showed that perceived usefulness and ease of use of the technology have positively correlated to the actual use. This study reflects the need for ...
