Abstract
Morganella morganii is a gram negative, facultative anaerobic rod-shaped bacterium, commonly found in environment and in the intestine of human, mammals, and reptiles as a part of their gut microbiome. M. morganii can cause Gram-negative folliculitis, black nail infection, acute retiform purpura, fetal demise, and subdural empyema. The increasing frequency of M. morganii infections generate the need for efficient methods to enrich the presence of M. morganii in clinical samples to make its detection easier. Culturomics aims to grow and maximize the number of culturable bacteria. Different methods are followed to maximize the growth of minority population of bacteria by disrupting the growth of bacteria which are present in higher concentration. This article presents a method for selective enriching the M. morganii in human fecal samples. This method includes prior incubation of fecal microbiota in an anaerobic environment, adding supplement like fecal water to give dormant bacteria a break to become active to grow to threshold concentration, and an enrichment stage which provides the additional opportunity of growing to M. morganii on the selective medium. This method also provides an ingenuous way for augmenting the growth of fecal M. morganii species.

Abstract
Abstract Virgin coconut oil (VCO) is a processed edible oil, which is removed from the mature coconuts. It is a colourless water insoluble liquid and obtained by the hot and cold extraction processes. The nutritional components of VCO are mainly contributed to by lauric acid, its primary content. VCO has shown its anticancer, antimicrobial, analgesic, antipyretic and antiinflammatory properties. Because of these medicinal properties, VCO has gained the wider attention among the medical field. Most evidently VCO has shown its potential antioxidant property, because of its phenolic compounds and medium chain fatty acids. It is one of the beneficial compounds used to prevent and treat the oxidative stress induced neurological disorders like stress, depression and Alzheimer's disease. Dietary supplementation of VCO is easy and economical and safer in daily life among all age groups. It is also beneficial for the cardiovascular, respiratory, dermatological, reproductive and bone health. It can also be applied to the skin as a moisturizer in the paediatric age group. Hence, exploration of antioxidant property as well as other beneficial effects of VCO in various health conditions will be valuable.

Abstract
With a growing global population, agricultural scientists are focusing on crop production management and the creation of new strategies for a higher agricultural output. However, the growth of undesirable plants besides the primary crop poses a significant challenge in agriculture, necessitating the massive application of herbicides to eradicate this problem. Several synthetic herbicides are widely utilized, with glyphosate emerging as a potential molecule for solving this emerging issue; however, it has several environmental and health consequences. Several weed species have evolved resistance to this herbicide, therefore lowering agricultural yield. The persistence of glyphosate residue in the environment, such as in water and soil systems, is due to the misuse of glyphosate in agricultural regions, which causes its percolation into groundwater via the vertical soil profile. As a result, it endangers many nontarget organisms existing in the natural environment, which comprises both soil and water. The current Review aims to provide a systemic analysis of glyphosate, its various effects on the environment, its subsequent impact on human health and animals, which will lead us toward a better understanding of the issues about herbicide usage and aid in managing it wisely, as in the near the future glyphosate market is aiming for a positive forecast until 2035.

Abstract
Numerous surgeries are carried out to replace tissues that have been harmed by an illness or an accident. Due to various surgical interventions and the requirement of bone substitutes, the emerging field of bone tissue engineering attempts to repair damaged tissues with the help of scaffolds. These scaffolds act as template for bone regeneration by controlling the development of new cells. For the creation of functional tissues and organs, there are three elements of bone tissue engineering that play very crucial role: cells, signals and scaffolds. For the achievement of these aims, various types of natural polymers, like chitosan, chitin, cellulose, albumin and silk fibroin, have been used for the preparation of scaffolds. Scaffolds produced from natural polymers have many advantages: they are less immunogenic as well as being biodegradable, biocompatible, non-toxic and cost effective. The hierarchal structure of bone, from microscale to nanoscale, is mostly made up of organic and inorganic components like nanohydroxyapatite and collagen components. This review paper summarizes the knowledge and updates the information about the use of natural polymers for the preparation of scaffolds, with their application in recent research trends and development in the area of bone tissue engineering (BTE). The article extensively explores the related research to analyze the advancement of nanotechnology for the treatment of bone-related diseases and bone repair.

Abstract
In the surgery-first approach (SFA), orthognathic surgery is performed without the need for presurgical orthodontic treatment. This study was aimed at assessing the treatment durations and occlusal outcomes for a consecutive cohort of patients, with a range of dentofacial deformities, who had completed orthognathic treatment using SFA. The duration of orthognathic treatment was measured. The overall change in occlusion, and the quality of the final occlusion, were evaluated using the patients' study casts. A single, independent, calibrated operator carried out the occlusal scores, using the validated Peer Assessment Rating (PAR) index. This was repeated to test intraoperator reliability. A total of 51 patients completed surgery-first treatment during the study period. The mean (range) age at surgery was 23.3 (15-47) years. The pre-treatment skeletal jaw relationship was Class III in 39 cases, and Class II in 12 cases. The mean (SD) overall treatment duration was 11.7 (5.7) months. The intraexaminer reliability of assessing the occlusion was high. The PAR scores confirmed a significant improvement in the quality of occlusion at the completion of treatment, which compares favourably with previous studies on the conventional orthodontics-first approach. The surgery first approach can be effective at correcting both Class II and Class III malocclusion types with reduced treatment times.

Abstract
Exposing the hydrated-soft-starch matrix of intact grain or reconstituted flour dough to a high-temperature-short-time (HTST) leads to rapid vapor generation that facilitates high-pressure build-up in its elastic matrix linked to large deformation and expansion. The expanded starch matrix at high temperatures dries up quickly by flash vaporization of water, which causes loss of its structural flexibility and imparts a porous and rigid structure of the expanded porous starch matrix (EPSM). EPSM, with abundant pores in its construction, offers adsorptive effectiveness, solubility, swelling ability, mechanical strength, and thermal stability. It can be a sustainable and easy-to-construct alternative to porous starch (PS) in food and pharmaceutical applications. This review is a comparative study of PS and EPSM on their preparation methods, structure, and physicochemical properties, finding compatibility and addressing challenges in recommending EPSM as an alternative to PS in adsorbing, dispersing, stabilizing, and delivering active ingredients in a controlled and efficient way.

Abstract
There are a number of reports about anticancer activity of indole derivatives. In this study, we investigated the role of indoxyl sulfate (IS) for its selective anticancer activity on colon cancer cells. IS treatment on HCT-116 and HT-29 human epithelial adenocarcinoma cells led to a decrease in cell proliferation, cell viability, and ATP content. Colon cancer cells showed a 10% increase in cell apoptosis in comparison to control. Due to IS treatment, cell morphology got distorted, cell number found decreased, intracellular vesicles formed, and cells were found floating in the media. Cells also showed a loss in membrane integrity and a decrease in colony-forming ability and ceased at the G2/M phase of the cell cycle. No significant change was noted in the level of inflammatory cytokines IL-17A, IL-1β, and TNF-α, histology, length of intestine, and spleen after 100 mM IS treatment to balb/c mice. These observations indicate the selective anticancer effect of IS on colon cancer cells.

Abstract
Carrageenan, a polysaccharide derived from red algae, has a long history of use as a food additive in food. Carrageenan comes in three classes, κ-, ι-, and λ-carrageenan, with different properties attributed to their organosulfate substitution levels, and their interactions with other food components give rise to properties such as water holding, thickening, gelling, and stabilizing. Over the years, carrageenan has been used in wide variety of food products such as meat, dairy, and flour-based products, and their mechanisms and functions in these matrices have also been studied. With the emergence of novel food technologies, carrageenan's potential applications have been extensively explored alongside, including encapsulation, edible films/coatings, plant-based analogs, and 3D/4D printing. As the food technology evolves, the required functions of food ingredients have changed, and carrageenan is being investigated for its role in these new areas. However, there are many similarities in the use of carrageenan in both classic and emerging applications, and understanding the underlying principles of carrageenan will lead to a proper use of carrageenan in emerging food products. This review focuses on the potential of carrageenan as a food ingredient in these emerging technologies mainly based on papers published within the past five years, highlighting its functions and applications to better understand its role in food products.

Abstract
Since its advent in December 2019, SARS-CoV-2 has diverged into multiple variants with differing levels of virulence owing to the accumulation of mutations in its genome. The structural changes induced by non-synonymous mutations in major drug targets of the virus are known to alter the binding of potential antagonistic inhibitors. Here, we analyzed the effects of non-synonymous mutations in major targets of SARS-CoV-2 in response to potential peptide inhibitors. We screened 12 peptides reported to have anti-viral properties against RBD and 5 peptides against Mpro of SARS-CoV-2 variants using molecular docking and simulation approaches. The mutational landscape of RBD among SARS-CoV-2 variants had 21 non-synonymous mutations across 18 distinct sites. Among these, 14 mutations were present in the RBM region directly interacting with the hACE2 receptor. However, Only 3 non-synonymous mutations were observed in Mpro. We found that LCB1 - a de novo-synthesized peptide has the highest binding affinity to RBD despite non-synonymous mutations in variants and engages key residues of RBD-hACE2 interaction such as K417, E484, N487, and N501. Similarly, an antimicrobial peptide; 2JOS, was identified against Mpro with high binding affinity as it interacts with key residues in dimerization sites such as E166 and F140 crucial for viral replication. MD simulations affirm the stability of RBD-LCB1 and Mpro-2JOS complexes with an average RMSD of 1.902 and 2.476 respectively. We ascertain that LCB1 and 2JOS peptides are promising inhibitors to combat emerging variants of SARS-CoV-2 and thus warrant further investigations using in-vitro and in-vivo analysis.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
Human monkeypox is a very unusual virus that can devastate society. Early identification and diagnosis are essential to treat and manage an illness effectively. Human monkeypox disease detection using deep learning models has attracted increasing attention recently. The virus that causes monkeypox may be passed to people, making it a zoonotic illness. The latest monkeypox epidemic has hit more than 40 nations. Computer-assisted approaches using Deep Learning techniques for automatically identifying skin lesions have shown to be a viable alternative in light of the fast proliferation and ever-growing problems of supplying PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) Testing in places with limited availability. In this research, we introduce a deep learning model for detecting human monkeypoxes that is accurate and resilient by tuning its hyper-parameters. We employed a mixture of convolutional neural networks and transfer learning strategies to extract characteristics from medical photos and properly identify them. We also used hyperparameter optimization strategies to fine-tune the Model and get the best possible results. This paper proposes a Yolov5 model-based method for differentiating between chickenpox and Monkeypox lesions on skin pictures. The Roboflow skin lesion picture dataset was subjected to three different hyperparameter tuning strategies: the SDG optimizer, the Bayesian optimizer, and Learning without Forgetting. The proposed Model had the highest classification accuracy (98.18%) when applied to photos of monkeypox skin lesions. Our findings show that the suggested Model surpasses the current best-in-class models and may be used in clinical settings for actual Human Monkeypox disease detection and diagnosis.

The experiment was conducted in three replicates in pots having 4 kg of sieved soil mixed with different doses of chromium, 0, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, and 350 mg·kg−1, and lead, 0, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, and 800 mg·kg−1. The experiment was conducted for 80 days, and roots were harvested two times, i.e., at 40 days and 80 days after sowing. Metal accumulation in the roots was determined by the atomic absorption spectrophotometry method. The result of the study indicated that C. iria has the maximum potential to accumulate both the metals in its roots than other two plants. The order of chromium metal accumulation was found to be C. iria > E. sativa > A. aspera. On the other hand, the order of lead metal accumulation was found to be C. iria > A. aspera > E. sativa.

Abstract
Nations all over the world are imposing ban on single-use plastics, which are difficult to recycle and lead to creations of nonsustainable and nondegradable piles. To match the requirement in the market, suitable food packaging alternatives have to be developed that are biodegradable and environment-friendly. The current work is designed for the fabrication of a novel nanocomposite by blending xanthan gum in a chitosan matrix and reinforcing it with ZnO nanoparticles, through a solution casting method. Surface morphology of the film was investigated through field emission scanning electron microscopy, along with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy mapping, and characterized through thermogravimetric analysis, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, mechanical testing, and ultraviolet spectroscopy. FTIR spectroscopy analysis corroborated the interaction between the components and the H-bond formation. Polyelectrolyte complex formation materializes between the oppositely charged chitosan and xanthan gum, and further nanoparticle incorporation significantly improves the mechanical properties. The synthesized nanocomposite was found to have increases in the tensile strength and elongation at break of pure chitosan by up to 6.65 and 3.57 times, respectively. The transmittance percentage of the bionanocomposite film was reduced compared to that of the pure chitosan film, which aids in lowering the oxidative damage brought on by UV radiation in packed food products. Moreover, the film also showed an enhanced barrier property against water vapor and oxygen gas. The film was totally biodegradable in soil burial at the end of the second month; it lost almost around 88% of its initial weight. The fabricated film does not pose a threat to the environment and hence has great potential for application in the future sustainable food packaging industry.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Empty pelvis syndrome (EPS) has been defined as a complications arising as a sequel of empty space created after extensive pelvic surgery involving perineal resection. However this definition has been heterogenous throughout the limited literature available. Hence, EPS is a significant yet under recognized complication vexing both patients and surgeons. Even till date, prevention and management of EPS remain a challenge. Various preventive strategies have been employed each with its own complications. Few small studies mentioned incidence of this dreaded complication in between 20 and 40%. But most of these studies quote vague evidence and especially only after TPE surgeries. To the best of our knowledge, incidence after APR and PE has never been mentioned in literature. PURPOSE To assess the clinical burden of empty pelvis syndrome in patients undergoing abdominoperineal resection (APR), posterior exenteration (PE), or total pelvic exenteration (TPE) for low rectal cancers. METHODS This is a retrospective audit from a high-volume tertiary cancer center in India. Patients who underwent APR, PE, or TPE between the years 2013 to 2021 were screened and analyzed for incidence, presentation, and management of empty pelvic syndrome (EPS). RESULTS A total of 1224 patients' electronic medical records were screened for complications related to empty pelvis. The overall incidence of EPS was 95/1224 (7%) with 55/1024 (5%) in APR, 8/39 (20.5%) in PE, and 32/143 (21.9%) in TPE. The most common clinical presentation was small bowel obstruction 43/95 (45.2%) and most presented late, 56/95 (60%), i.e., after 30 days of surgery. Most of the patients who had EPS were managed conservatively 55/95 (57%). CONCLUSION EPS is a significant clinical problem that can lead to major morbidity, especially after exenterative surgeries warranting effective preventive strategies.

Abstract
Proteins and essential fatty acids are crucial components of the human diet. However, lipids and proteins are susceptible to oxidative modification during food processing resulting in changes to their structural characteristics and functional properties. Food products rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids are highly susceptible to lipid peroxidation and generate bifunctional reactive aldehydes. Bifunctional aldehydes such as malondialdehyde (MDA), 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (4-HNE), and 4-oxo-2-nonenal (4-ONE) readily bind to protein nucleophiles and lead to intra- or intermolecular protein cross-linking. In comparison with lipid oxidation, the degradation of proteins by prooxidants appears to be more intricate and results in a greater diversity of oxidation products. Although individual oxidation processes involving lipids and proteins received increasing attention in the past decades, the interactions between those aldehydes and protein oxidation in food have not been extensively explored. Studies indicate that the reactions of lipid and protein oxidation may take place simultaneously or independently, but oxidation products that arose from one reaction may further interact with lipids or proteins. The present review presents a perspective on reactive aldehydes and the role of aldehydes in inducing protein oxidation in muscle foods. Emphasis is focused on the interaction mechanism of the lipid, protein, and myoglobin protein oxidations. In addition, the occurrence of aldehydes derived from lipid oxidation in food systems as well as the endogenous antioxidant peptides or amino acids in meat and plant proteins are also briefly described.

Abstract
Background Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) can involve any organ system and cause a wide range of manifestations. Noninfectious inflammatory lesions termed aseptic abscesses have been reported in some autoimmune and autoinflammatory conditions but not in childhood-onset SLE. In this report, we highlight the unusual finding of occult splenic abscesses in two children diagnosed with SLE who had no evidence of concomitant infection. Case presentation An 8-year-old and an 11-year-old were admitted separately to the hospital with fever for 7 and 14 days, respectively. In the younger child, a generalized rash preceded the fever. Both had been well, with no significant past medical history prior to the onset of the illness. In both girls, abdominal ultrasonography showed multiple small hypoechoic lesions suggestive of abscesses scattered throughout the spleen. Their C-reactive protein and blood cultures were negative, and symptoms persisted despite intravenous antibiotics. Fulfilling the clinical and immunologic criteria for diagnosis, both were ultimately diagnosed with childhood-onset SLE. Rapid recovery of symptoms and complete resolution of the abscesses ensued with corticosteroids and immunosuppressive therapy. Conclusions These two cases suggest that aseptic splenic abscesses may occur in childhood-onset SLE. Autoimmune conditions such as SLE should be included in the differential diagnosis of children with occult splenic abscesses.

Abstract
A 12-year-old boy was admitted after 11 days of fever and 2 days of nasal obstruction as well as swelling of a right cervical lymph node. Nasal endoscopy and computed tomography of the neck showed a nasopharyngeal mass occupying the entire nasopharynx, extending into the nasal cavity, and obliterating the fossa of Rosenmuller. Abdominal ultrasonography revealed a small solitary splenic abscess. Although a nasopharyngeal tumor or malignancy was initially considered, biopsy of the mass showed only suppurative granulomatous inflammation, and bacterial culture from the enlarged cervical lymph node yielded Burkholderia pseudomallei. The symptoms, nasopharyngeal mass, and cervical lymph node enlargement resolved with melioidosis-directed antibiotic therapy. Although rarely reported, the nasopharynx may be an important primary site of infection in melioidosis patients, especially in pediatric patients.

Abstract
Papaver somniferum L. (Family: Papaveraceae) is a species well known for its diverse alkaloids (100 different benzylisoquinoline alkaloids (BIAs)). L-tyrosine serves as a precursor of several specific metabolites like BIAs. It has been used as an antitussive and potent analgesic to alleviate mild to extreme pain since ancient times. The extraction of pharmaceutically important alkaloids like morphine and codeine from poppy plant reflects the need for the most suitable and standard methods. Several analytical and extraction techniques have been reported in open literature for morphine, codeine and other important alkaloids which play a vital function in drug development and drug discovery. Many studies suggest that opioids are also responsible for adverse effects or secondary complications like dependence and withdrawal. In recent years, opium consumption and addiction are the most important risk factors. Many evidence-based reviews suggest that opium consumption is directly linked or acts as a risk factor for different cancers. In this review, we highlight significant efforts related to research which have been done over the past 5 decades and the complete information on Papaver somniferum including its phytochemistry, pharmacological actions, biosynthetic pathways and analytical techniques of opium alkaloid extraction and the link between opium consumption and cancer-related updates.

Abstract
Uncontrolled waste generation and management difficulties are causing chaos in the ecosystem. Although it is vital to ease environmental pressures, right now there is no such practical strategy available for the treatment or utilisation of waste material. Because the Earth's resources are limited, a long-term, sustainable, and sensible solution is necessary. Currently waste material has drawn a lot of attention as a renewable resource. Utilisation of residual biomass leftovers appears as a green and sustainable approach to lessen the waste burden on Earth while meeting the demand for bio-based goods. Several biopolymers are available from renewable waste sources that have the potential to be used in a variety of industries for a wide range of applications. Natural and synthetic biopolymers have significant advantages over petroleum-based polymers in terms of cost-effectiveness, environmental friendliness, and user-friendliness. Using waste as a raw material through industrial symbiosis should be taken into account as one of the strategies to achieve more economic and environmental value through inter-firm collaboration on the path to a near-zero waste society. This review extensively explores the different biopolymers which can be extracted from several waste material sources and that further have potential applications in food packaging industries to enhance the shelf life of perishables. This review-based study also provides key insights into the different strategies and techniques that have been developed recently to extract biopolymers from different waste byproducts and their feasibility in practical applications for the food packaging business.

Abstract
Bioethanol is recognized as a valuable substitute for renewable energy sources to meet the fuel and energy demand of the nation, considered an environmentally friendly resource obtained from agricultural residues such as sugarcane bagasse, rice straw, husk, wheat straw and corn stover. The energy demand is sustained using lignocellulosic biomass to produce bioethanol. Lignocellulosic biomass (LCBs) is the point of attention in replacing the dependence on fossil fuels. The recalcitrant structure of the lignocellulosic biomass is disrupted using effective pretreatment techniques that separate complex interlinked structures among cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. Pretreatment of biomass involves various physical, chemical, biological, and physiochemical protocols which are of importance, dependent upon their individual or combined dissolution effect. Physical pretreatment involves a reduction in the size of the biomass using mechanical, extrusion, irradiation, and sonification methods while chemical pretreatment involves the breaking of various bonds present in the LCB structure. This can be obtained by using an acidic, alkaline, ionic liquid, and organosolvent methods. Biological pretreatment is considered an environment-friendly and safe process involving various bacterial and fungal microorganisms. Distinct pretreatment methods, when combined and utilized in synchronization lead to more effective disruption of LCB, making biomass more accessible for further processing. These could be utilized in terms of their effectiveness for a particular type of cellulosic fiber and are namely steam explosion, liquid hot water, ammonia fibre explosion, CO2 explosion, and wet air oxidation methods. The present review encircles various distinct and integrated pretreatment processes developed till now and their advancement according to the current trend and future aspects to make lignocellulosic biomass available for further hydrolysis and fermentation.

Abstract
The Solve-RD project objectives include solving undiagnosed rare diseases (RD) through collaborative research on shared genome-phenome datasets. The RD-Connect Genome-Phenome Analysis Platform (GPAP), for data collation and analysis, and the European Genome-Phenome Archive (EGA), for file storage, are two key components of the Solve-RD infrastructure. Clinical researchers can identify candidate genetic variants within the RD-Connect GPAP and, thanks to the developments presented here as part of joint ELIXIR activities, are able to remotely visualize the corresponding alignments stored at the EGA. The Global Alliance for Genomics and Health (GA4GH) htsget streaming application programming interface (API) is used to retrieve alignment slices, which are rendered by an integrated genome viewer (IGV) instance embedded in the GPAP. As a result, it is no longer necessary for over 11,000 datasets to download large alignment files to visualize them locally. This work highlights the advantages, from both the user and infrastructure perspectives, of implementing interoperability standards for establishing federated genomics data networks.

Abstract
The growing global population and lifestyle changes have increased the demand for specialized diets that require protein and other essential nutrients for humans. Recent technological advances have enabled the use of food bioresources treated as waste as additional sources of alternative proteins. Sheep wool is an inexpensive and readily available bioresource containing 95%-98% protein, making it an outstanding potential source of protein for food and biotechnological applications. The strong structure of wool and its indigestibility are the main hurdles to achieving its potential as an edible protein. Although various methods have been investigated for the hydrolysis of wool into keratin, only a few of these, such as sulfitolysis, oxidation, and enzymatic processes, have the potential to generate edible keratin. In vitro and in vivo cytotoxicity studies reported no cytotoxicity effects of extracted keratin, suggesting its potential for use as a high-value protein ingredient that supports normal body functions. Keratin has a high cysteine content that can support healthy epithelia, glutathione synthesis, antioxidant functions, and skeletal muscle functions. With the recent spike in new keratin extraction methods, extensive long-term investigations that examine prolonged exposure of keratin generated from these techniques in animal and human subjects are required to ascertain its safety. Food applications of wool could improve the ecological footprint of sheep farming and unlock the potential of a sustainable protein source that meets demands for ethical production of animal protein.

Abstract
Cosmetics and personal care items are used worldwide and administered straight to the skin. The hazardous nature of the chemical surfactant utilized in the production of cosmetics has caused alarm on a global scale. Therefore, bacterial biosurfactants (BS) are becoming increasingly popular in industrial product production as a biocompatible, low-toxic alternative surfactant. Chemical surfactants can induce allergic responses and skin irritations; thus, they should be replaced with less harmful substances for skin health. The cosmetic industry seeks novel biological alternatives to replace chemical compounds and improve product qualities. Most of these chemicals have a biological origin and can be obtained from plant, bacterial, fungal, and algal sources. Various biological molecules have intriguing capabilities, such as biosurfactants, vitamins, antioxidants, pigments, enzymes, and peptides. These are safe, biodegradable, and environmentally friendly than chemical options. Plant-based biosurfactants, such as saponins, offer numerous advantages over synthetic surfactants, i.e., biodegradable, nontoxic, and environmentally friendly nature. Saponins are a promising source of natural biosurfactants for various industrial and academic applications. However, microbial glycolipids and lipopeptides have been used in biotechnology and cosmetics due to their multifunctional character, including detergency, emulsifying, foaming, and skin moisturizing capabilities. In addition, some of them have the potential to be used as antibacterial agents. In this review, we like to enlighten the application of microbial biosurfactants for replacing chemical surfactants in existing cosmetic and personal skincare pharmaceutical formulations due to their antibacterial, skin surface moisturizing, and low toxicity characteristics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC) is frequently described for the diagnosis of diffuse parenchymal lung diseases (DPLD). A few studies have reported transbronchial cryobiopsy for the diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPL...s). We aimed to study the utility and safety of transbronchial cryobiopsy for the diagnosis of PPL...s. METHODS We performed a systematic search of the PubMed and Embase databases to extract the relevant studies. We then performed a meta-analysis to calculate the diagnostic yields of transbronchial cryobiopsy and bronchoscopic forceps biopsy. RESULTS Following a systematic search, we identified nine relevant studies (300 patients undergoing cryobiopsy). All used Radial Endobronchial Ultrasound (R-EBUS) for PPL localization. The pooled diagnostic yield of transbronchial cryobiopsy was 77% (95% CI, 71%...84%) (I^2=38.72%, p=0.11). The diagnostic yield of forceps biopsy was 72% (95% CI, 60%...83%) (I^2=78.56%, p<0.01). The diagnostic yield of cryobiopsy and forceps biopsy was similar (RR 1.05, 95% CI 0.96...1.15), with a 5% risk difference for diagnostic yield (95% CI, ...6% to 15%). There was significant heterogeneity (I^2=57.2%, p=0.017), and no significant publication bias. One severe bleeding and three pneumothoraxes requiring intercostal drain (ICD) placement (major complication rate 4/122, 1.8%) were reported with transbronchial cryobiopsy. CONCLUSIONS R-EBUS guided transbronchial cryobiopsy is a safe and efficacious modality. The diagnostic yields of TBLC and forceps biopsy are similar. More extensive multicentre randomized trials are required for the further evaluation and standardization of transbronchial cryobiopsy for PPL...s.

Abstract
Lipids are an important component of meat, as they provide desirable sensory characteristics and nutritional benefits. However, lipids are susceptible to degradation through oxidation and produce toxic oxidative byproducts. 4-Oxo-2-nonenal (4-ONE) is an oxidative byproduct that is highly reactive and cytotoxic. In this study, we investigated the influence of 4-ONE-induced protein degradation on fresh and gastric digested bovine skeletal muscle proteins. The results indicated that 4-ONE naturally forms in fresh muscle proteins. We report here for the first time that 4-ONE causes severe degradation of bovine skeletal muscle proteins. An SDS-PAGE gel analysis showed evidence that the skeletal muscle proteins attenuated over the incubation time, as the density of the protein bands faded significantly after 120 h. Additionally, protein and band density analyses showed a significant decrease in protein abundance and band densities throughout the incubation time. This study revealed that the lipid oxidation byproduct, 4-oxo-2-nonenal (4-ONE) is responsible for causing skeletal muscle protein degradation. Future studies should assess the bioprotective role of antioxidants and other food ingredients for their potential to prevent the formation and/or detoxification of 4-ONE in meat.

Abstract
Melioidosis is reported to cause a high fatality rate in children, even in the absence of risk factors for disease. The aim of this study was to identify characteristics of fatal pediatric melioidosis infection. We performed a retrospective analysis of children aged < 15 years with culture-confirmed melioidosis admitted to Bintulu Hospital in Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo, from January 2011 to December 2020. Forty-one children had culture-confirmed melioidosis. Nine (22%) had a fatal outcome; 8 (89%) had no predisposing risk factors. Bacteremia, septic shock, and acute respiratory distress syndrome were present in all fatalities. Demographic characteristics, presenting manifestation, and disseminated infection were not significantly associated with mortality, whereas the presence of splenomegaly, cytopenia, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and hepatobiliary dysfunction, all of which are features of hyperferritinemic sepsis-induced multiple-organ dysfunction syndrome, were associated with mortality. Hyperferritinemic sepsis-induced multiple-organ dysfunction syndrome may be a key component in the pathogenesis of fatal pediatric melioidosis.

Abstract
The effects of lipid peroxidation products 4‐Hydroxy‐2‐nonenal (4‐HNE) and 4‐oxo‐2‐nonenal (4‐ONE) were evaluated using bovine heart mitochondria. Oxygen consumption rate (OCR), ultrastructure, antioxidant activity, and membrane permeability were examined to compare their effects on isolated mitochondria from beef cardiac muscle. For the mitochondrial morphology, the final concentration of mitochondria and 4‐ONE or 4‐HNE in the reaction tube were 10 mg/ml and 1 mM, respectively. For the OCR experiment, mitochondria (2.5 mg/ml) were incubated with 0.20 mM ONE or in a Clark electrode chamber at 25°C. Mitochondrial membrane permeability was determined by incubating 0.5 mg/ml of mitochondrial protein with either 0.05 mM ONE or HNE or ethanol control at pH 5.6 and 7.4 at 25°C. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed that the size of 4‐ONE treated mitochondria at pH 7.4 increased (p < .05), as did permeability (p < .05), unlike ethanol controls. However, mitochondria incubated with 4‐ONE at pH 5.6 showed a decrease in volume (p < .05). Incubating mitochondria with 4‐ONE at pH 5.6 and pH increased oxygen consumption rate 7.4 caused less oxygen consumption than either 4‐HNE treatment or ethanol control. The hydrogen peroxide assay (H2O2), ferric reducing antioxidant properties (FRAP), and 2,2’‐azinobis (3‐ethylbenzthiazoline‐6‐sulfonic acid) (ABTS.+) assays revealed that 4‐ONE is a more potent inhibitor of the endogenous antioxidant system of mitochondria than 4‐HNE (p < .05).

Abstract
Brain-Machine Interfaces (BMI) offer the potential to modulate dysfunctional neurological networks by electrically stimulating the cerebral cortex via chronically-implanted microelectrodes. Wireless transmitters worn by BMI recipients must operate within electromagnetic emission and tissue heating limits, such as those prescribed by the IEEE and International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), to ensure that radiofrequency emissions of BMI systems are safe. Here, we describe an approach to generating pre-compliance safety data by simulating the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) and tissue heating of a multi-layered human head model containing a system of wireless, modular BMIs powered and controlled by an externally worn telemetry unit. We explore a number of system configurations such that our approach can be utilized for similar BMI systems, and our results provide a benchmark for the electromagnetic emissions of similar telemetry units. Our results show that the volume-averaged SAR per 10g of tissue exposed to our telemetry field complies with ICNIRP and IEEE reference levels, and that the maximum temperature increase in tissues was within permissible limits. These results were unaffected by the number of implants in the system model, and therefore we conclude that the electromagnetic emissions our BMI in any configuration are safe.

Abstract
Meat color is an important aspect of consumer’spurchase decisions regarding meat products. Perceived meat color results from the interaction of light, a detector(i.e. human eye), and numerous factors that are both intrinsic and extrinsic tothe muscle which influence the chemical state of myoglobin. The complex nature of these interactions dictatesthat decisions regarding evaluations of meat color be made carefully, and thatinvestigators have a basic knowledge of the physical and chemical factorsaffecting their evaluations. Theseguidelines were compiled to aid investigators in navigating the pitfalls ofmeat color evaluation and ensure the reporting of information needed forappropriate interpretation of the resulting data. The guidelines provide an overview ofmyoglobin chemistry, the perception of meat color, in addition to details ofinstrumentation used in meat color evaluation. Moreover, these guidelines detail practical considerations for simulatedretail display studies and provide details of the most common laboratorytechniques used in meat color literature. Importantly, the guidelines indicate the information that should beincluded when reporting meat color research to aid in appropriateinterpretation. Practical considerationsneeded for troubleshooting meat color problems in a commercial setting areincluded as well. Investigators areencouraged to review the entire guidelines before designing and conducting meatcolor research.

Abstract
The present study was undertaken to elucidate the alkaline indigestion syndrome in riverine buffaloes caused by inadvertent colostrum feeding, clinical pattern and its therapeutic management. Fifteen recently parturited buffaloes with history of feeding average 2.96 kg (1 to 5 kg) of colostrum immediately after parturition followed by sudden onset of anorexia, decrease in milk yield and nervous signs were investigated. Clinical examination showed normal body temperature (100.26±0.42 vs 100.62±0.18), respiration (23.73±3.53 vs 24.13±0.66) and heart rate (57.26±3.30 vs 53.20±1.79) compared to healthy buffaloes. Examination of rumen revealed impaction with highly significant (P<0.01) reduction in rumen motility (0.80±0.24 vs 3.80±0.17 per five minutes). Similarly, highly significant (P<0.01) increase in rumen pH (8.10±0.16 vs 6.25±0.07) and decrease in protozoal density (5.00±0.88 vs 32.93±1.72) with sluggish (+) to no (-) protozoal motility was observed in ailing buffaloes. Haematological analysis showed normal blood profile with significant (P<0.05) increase only in neutrophil count (51.60±5.1 vs 42.06±3.4). Prominent clinical signs of anorexia, congested conjunctival mucosae, decreased milk yield and varied nervous signs like restlessness, head pressing, staggering gait, incoordination, circling, convulsions, dummy syndrome, apparent blindness and coma were observed in affected buffaloes. Postural abnormalities like sternal / lateral recumbency and lateral deviation of neck were also observed in two buffaloes. All the ailing buffaloes were treated with Dextrose Normal Saline, single dose of preparation containing calcium, phosphorus and magnesium, vitamin B complex, antihistaminic, sedatives, laxatives, pre, probiotics, and oral antibiotics. All the treated buffaloes showed satisfactory improvement from 1st to 3rd day with complete clinical recovery by 4.93 (3 to 9) days of treatment. Buffalo owners should be made aware of unscientific practice of colostrum feeding in adult animals and accidentally intoxicated buffaloes could be successfully treated with the standardized treatment protocol.

Abstract
To evaluate the effect of L-Threonine (L-Thr) and Mycofix® Plus (MP) on aflatoxicosis, an experiment with a 3-way ANOVA model was carried out with 8 replicates and 640 birds. Treatments included two levels of L-Thr (100% and 125% of the requirements, Cobb 500, Cobb-Vantress), Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) (0, 500 ppb), and MP (0, 1 g/kg). As the main effects showed, AFB1 decreased breast meat yield and carcass percentage (p < 0.001), serum urea, antibody titer against infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), and bone density (p < 0.05), while it increased the plasma concentrations of glucose and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) (p < 0.05). Mycofix Plus improved the grower feed intake (FI), tibia fresh weight, and body weight (BW) to bone weight (p < 0.05). L-Threonine increased the grower FI, breast meat yield, serum aspartate transaminase (AST), and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) (p < 0.05). There were positive interactions with breast meat yield, cholesterol, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and IBV titer. Of the treatments used, the combination of L-Thr and MP without AFB1 improved breast meat and carcass percentage. L-Threonine and MP significantly improved IBV titer in birds challenged with AFB1 (p < 0.001). In conclusion, L-Thr and MP were beneficial to improve immunity.

Abstract
Background: Infectious complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) are a major cause of morbidity. The association of bactibilia with the occurrence of surgical site infection (SSI) is debatable. Patients and Methods: Consecutive patients who underwent PD between July 2019 and December 2020 were included. All patients underwent standard pre-operative preparation and imaging. Pre-operative biliary drainage (PBD) was done as clinically indicated. A bile sample was collected just before the transection of common bile duct (CBD). Post-operative outcomes including SSI were analyzed. Results: Fifty-four patients were assessed for enrollment; 50 were found to be resectable during surgery and were included. The incidence of bactibilia was 46%. Nineteen (38%) patients developed SSIs and the occurrence was higher in patients who had positive bile culture (14 [60.8%] vs. 5 [18.5%]; p = 0.002). A similar organism between bile culture and SSI was seen in nine (64.2%) of 14 patients. Patients who had positive bile culture had more frequent change of antibiotic (16 [69%] vs. 8 [29.6%]; p = 0.005) and required prolonged duration of postoperative antibiotic agents (12 days [IQR, 8-14] vs. 8 days [IQR, 6-10]; p = 0.003). There was no association between bile culture growth and development of post-operative pancreatic fistula, delayed gastric emptying, and post-operative pancreatic hemorrhage. Patients with bactibilia had prolonged post-operative stay (17 days [IQR, 11-20] vs. 11 days [IQR, 8-14]; p = 0.010) and severe post-operative complications (8 [34.7%] vs. 2 [7.4%]; p = 0.008). Conclusions: Bactibilia is associated with the development of SSI and may provide a guide in selection of antibiotics.

Abstract
Front-of-Package (FOP) labels highlight important nutrients and help consumers make informed decisions about food purchases. In this study, we investigated consumer comprehension, opinion, and preference associated with two different formats of FOP labels and compared consumer shopping behavior and general trends related to nutrition labeling. Consumer eye-tracking was used for measuring perceived understanding of nutritional information objectively. Results revealed that a color-coded FOP label would garner more attention than a black and white FOP label. Subjects found color-coded FOP labels more straightforward than black and white labels. Participants used the information provided on the FOP for shopping goals. Still, FOPs did not affect objective consumer attention to labels, and labeling schemes did not significantly affect participants' decisions. Participating subjects did use FOP labels instead of the nutrition facts panels. Still, FOP groups scored lower on a nutrition literacy quiz, indicating that their perceived and actual understanding of nutritional information differed. Our findings suggest that subjects pay attention to FOP labels but do not make decisions. Front-of-Package (FOP) labels show important nutrients and help understand nutrition facts. This study investigated FOP labels using eye-tracking to measure visual attention in consumers. More educational campaigns are needed to assist in the comprehension of the FOP labels by consumers. The study shows that the shopping goals affected visual attention to the nutritional facts on the FOP. Our findings suggest that consumers do not use FOPs much in making purchase decisions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inferior vena cava (IVC) leiomyosarcomas (LMS) are a rare group of retroperitoneal tumors. R0 surgical resection is the only curative modality of treatment. IVC resection for retroperitoneal sarcoma is a complex surgery with no definitive guidelines for reconstruction. METHODS Retrospective review of all patients who underwent surgical resection of primary leiomyosarcoma of the IVC requiring resection from 2010 to 2020 at our tertiary care center was performed. RESULTS Among 24 patients who required IVC resection for LMS, only 7 (29%) required reconstruction of IVC. According to Clavien-Dindo classification, there was one grade 3 or more morbidity and 1 post-operative mortality. Seventeen patients underwent R0 resection whereas 7 patients had R1 resection on final histopathology. At a median follow-up of 25 months (range 8-91 months), the median OS was 40 months with median DFS of 28 months. Two patients presented with local recurrence while 13 patients developed systemic recurrence on follow-up. CONCLUSION Careful preoperative multidisciplinary planning can make IVC resection without reconstruction feasible with acceptable perioperative morbidity, mortality, and oncological outcomes for IVC LMS.

Abstract
The European Genome-phenome Archive (EGA - https://ega-archive.org/) is a resource for long term secure archiving of all types of potentially identifiable genetic, phenotypic, and clinical data resulting from biomedical research projects. Its mission is to foster hosted data reuse, enable reproducibility, and accelerate biomedical and translational research in line with the FAIR principles. Launched in 2008, the EGA has grown quickly, currently archiving over 4,500 studies from nearly one thousand institutions. The EGA operates a distributed data access model in which requests are made to the data controller, not to the EGA, therefore, the submitter keeps control on who has access to the data and under which conditions. Given the size and value of data hosted, the EGA is constantly improving its value chain, that is, how the EGA can contribute to enhancing the value of human health data by facilitating its submission, discovery, access, and distribution, as well as leading the design and implementation of standards and methods necessary to deliver the value chain. The EGA has become a key GA4GH Driver Project, leading multiple development efforts and implementing new standards and tools, and has been appointed as an ELIXIR Core Data Resource.
