Vegan grade medium component screening and concentration optimization for the fermentation of the probiotic strain Lactobacillus paracasei IMC 502 ® using Design of Experiments
J Ind Microbiol Biotechnol. 2024 Apr 24:kuae016. doi: 10.1093/jimb/kuae016. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLactobacillus paracasei IMC502® is a commercially successful probiotic strain, however, there are no reports that investigate growth medium composition in relation to improved biomass production for this strain. The major outcome of the present study is the design and optimization of a growth medium based on vegan components to be used in the cultivation of Lactobacillus paracasei IMC502®, by using Design of Experiments (DoE). Besides comparing different carbon sources, the use of plant-based peptones as nitrogen sou...

Isolation of < em > Schistosoma haematobium < /em > in Bronchoalveolar Lavage in an Immunocompromised Individual: A Case Report
We report a rare case of a 51-year-old People Living with HIV male, managed in a tertiary care hospital in west India in May 2023, vegetable vendor who was admitted with complaints of dysphagia, odynophagia, fever and chest pain for 3 days, cough and breathlessness for 1 month. Chest x-ray and CT scan were suggestive of hypodense fluid collection with rim enhancement along right lateral and posterior aspect of thoracic esophagus. All routine investigations and urine cultures were sent, which turned to be inconclusive. Upper Gastrointestinal scopy was suggestive of pangastritis. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy was done with no stru...

The associations of fatty acids related dietary patterns with overweight and obesity among Chinese children
CONCLUSION: Four FAs related dietary patterns were identified. The dietary pattern with high intake of fish, shrimp, crab and shellfish decreased overweight risk by increasing n-3 PUFAs, and decreasing SFAs. The dietary pattern with high intake of plant food, decreased obesity risk by providing an balanced n-6/n-3 PUFAs ratio.PMID:38654346 | DOI:10.1186/s41043-024-00549-9 (Source: Journal of Health, Population, and Nutrition)

HacA, a key transcription factor for the unfolded protein response, is required for fungal development, aflatoxin biosynthesis and pathogenicity of Aspergillus flavus
In this study, the hacA gene in A. flavus was knockout. Results showed that the absence of hacA led to a decreased pathogenicity of the strain, as it failed to colonize intact maize kernels. This may be due to retarded vegetable growth, especially the abnormal development of swollen tips and shorter hyphal septa. Deletion of hacA also hindered conidiogenesis and sclerotial development. Notably, the mutant strain failed to produce aflatoxin B1. Moreover, compared to the wild type, the mutant strain showed increased sensitivity to ER stress inducer such as Dithiothreitol (DTT), and heat stress. It also displayed heightened s...

Biomonitoring polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon levels in domestic kitchens using commonly grown culinary herbs
AbstractCooking is a significant source of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAHs) emissions in indoor environments. A one-month biomonitoring study was carried out in previously selected rural Hungarian kitchens to evaluate cooking-related PAHs concentrations in 4 common kitchen vegetables such as basil, parsley, rocket and chives. The study had two mainobjectives: firstly, to follow PAHs accumulation pattern and to find out if this pattern can be associated with different cooking habits. Also, the usefulness of culinary herbs for indoor bioaccumulation studies was assessed. The 2-ring naphthalene was the dominant PAH in t...

Glycaemic control among adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus in the Gulf Cooperation Council countries: an updated review
Endokrynol Pol. 2024 Apr 22. doi: 10.5603/ep.99519. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTType 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has become a major public health concern, causing significant disability and death worldwide. Fuelled by a modern sedentary lifestyle and poor dietary practices, T2DM affects at least 10.5% of the world's population. This paper seeks to review the progress made by the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates) in addressing T2DM, focusing on glycaemic control proportions and comparing it with the 2015 review. The results indicate no signif...
