The mushroom body output encodes behavioral decision during sensory-motor transformation
Curr Biol. 2023 Aug 24:S0960-9822(23)01059-X. doi: 10.1016/j.cub.2023.08.016. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAnimals form a behavioral decision by evaluating sensory evidence on the background of past experiences and the momentary motivational state. In insects, we still lack understanding of how and at which stage of the recurrent sensory-motor pathway behavioral decisions are formed. The mushroom body (MB), a central brain structure in insects1 and crustaceans,2,3 integrates sensory input of different modalities4,5,6 with the internal state, the behavioral state, and external sensory context7,8,9,10 through a large number...

Bartonella Infection in Fruit Bats and Bat Flies, Bangladesh
Microb Ecol. 2023 Sep 1. doi: 10.1007/s00248-023-02293-9. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBats harbor diverse intracellular Bartonella bacteria, but there is limited understanding of the factors that influence transmission over time. Investigation of Bartonella dynamics in bats could reveal general factors that control transmission of multiple bat-borne pathogens, including viruses. We used molecular methods to detect Bartonella DNA in paired bat (Pteropus medius) blood and bat flies in the family Nycteribiidae collected from a roost in Faridpur, Bangladesh between September 2020 and January 2021. We detected high prevalence...

Predicting pesticide residues in pod fruits with a modified peel-like uptake model: A green pea demonstration
Ecotoxicol Environ Saf. 2023 Aug 30;264:115421. doi: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2023.115421. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPeas are among the most popular leguminous plants, consumed by both humans and animals in large quantities. Pesticides are widely used globally to increase pea yield, and as a result, pesticide residues can be taken up by pea plants and bioaccumulate in their fruits, including peas and pods. However, there is a lack of modeling approaches available to predict residue concentrations in peas. To address this issue, a pod fruit model (specifically designed for neutral organic compounds) was proposed to simulate the...

Dr. Yum's Preschool Food Adventure
is a hands-on curriculum designed to increase food acceptance in young children. A multidisciplinary team of professionals (pediatrician, feeding specialist, registered dietitian/nutritionist, and early childhood educator) developed the 24-month curriculum for delivery in child care settings and included a family component to reinforce concepts. Early education teachers deliver 1 lesson per month, and each month focuses on a unique fruit or vegetable. The lessons include a visual on how each food grows and encourage children to use their senses to touch, smell, listen to, and observe the whole fruit or vegetable.

Impact of out-of-pocket medical expenditure after major illness in the family on food consumption of a household
This study is a subset of other two studies previously published. The authors had not been able to cover this aspect fully in those two studies but understood the importance of impact of expenditure on illness on food consumption. The authors studied change in food consumption pattern (not amount) in subjects after illness. The impact of weather changes in food consumption on the impacted nutritional status of family has not been studied. The authors only collected cross-sectional, observational data and recall bias cannot be completely ruled out and corrected. With such data, only associations could be concluded, not caus...

Phenylalanine in motion: A tale of an essential molecule with many faces
The objective of this review is to portray the many effects that increased phenylalanine availability has in plants under non-stressed conditions, focusing mainly on external applications. These applications include spraying and drenching whole plants with phenylalanine solutions, postharvest treatments by dipping fruit and cut flower stems, and addition of phenylalanine to cell suspensions. The results of these treatments include increased fragrance in flowers, increased aroma and pigmentation in fruit, increased production of health promoting metabolites in plant cell cultures, and increased resistance of plants, pre- an...

Insights on Quercetin Therapeutic Potential for Neurodegenerative Diseases and its Nano-technological Perspectives
Curr Pharm Biotechnol. 2023 Aug 30. doi: 10.2174/1389201025666230830125410. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe neurodegeneration process begins in conjunction with the aging of the neurons. It manifests in different parts of the brain as Aβ plaques, neurofibrillary tangles, Lewy bodies, Pick bodies, and other structures, which leads to progressive loss or death of neurons. Quercetin (QC) is a flavonoid compound found in fruits, tea, and other edible plants have antioxidant effects that have been studied from subcellular compartments to tissue levels in the brain. Also, quercetin has been reported to possess a neuroprotecti...

The association of diet-dependent acid load with colorectal cancer risk: a case-control study in Korea
We examined whether colorectal carcinogenesis is attributable to a diet with a high acid load. We recruited a total of 923 CRC cases and 1846 controls at the National Cancer Center in Korea for inclusion in a case-control study. We collected information on nutrient intake and specific clinical parameters of CRC by using a semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire and medical records, respectively. Potential renal acid load (PRAL) and net endogenous acid production (NEAP) were used to estimate diet-dependent acid load. We used an unconditional logistic regression model to analyse the association. Dietary acid load score...

Antibacterial and antibiotic potentiating capabilities of extracts isolated from Burkillanthus malaccensis, Diospyros hasseltii and Cleisthanthus bracteosus against human pathogenic bacteria
Trop Biomed. 2023 Jun 1;40(2):152-159. doi: 10.47665/tb.40.2.004.ABSTRACTAntibiotics which once a boon in medicine and saved millions of lives are now facing an ever-growing menace of antibacterial resistance, which desperately needs new antibacterial drugs which are innovative in chemistry and mode of action. For many years, the world has turned to natural plants with antibacterial properties to combat antibiotic resistance. On that basis, we aimed to identify plants with antibacterial and antibiotic potentiating properties. Seventeen different extracts of 3 plants namely Burkillanthus malaccensis, Diospyros hasseltii and...
