ABSTRACT

The ketogenic diet (KD) has demonstrated potential for treating neurological conditions like epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, and cognitive decline as well as for enhancing brain health. Individual reactions to KD, however, differ because of things like lifestyle, metabolism, and heredity. It is difficult to achieve the best results with a one-size-fits-all dietary strategy because of this diversity. A new answer is provided by artificial intelligence (AI), which makes it possible to provide individualized nutritional advice that take individual characteristics into consideration. AI-driven models can forecast a person's reaction to KD and customize macronutrient ratios, calorie intake, and micronutrient supplementation by combining data from genomes, metabolomics, and clinical profiles. This individualized strategy can boost mitochondrial function, lower inflammation, increase neuroprotective advantages, and enhance cognitive function. This study investigates the application of AI to create a customized ketogenic diet that maximizes brain function.

ABSTRACT

The increasing global demand for protein has prompted a search for sustainable and cost-effective alternatives to traditional animal and dairy sources. Single-cell protein (SCP) produced from microorganism’s offers a promising solution due to its high protein content and rapid growth rates. This study addresses the challenge of utilizing rice husk, an abundant yet underutilized agricultural waste in Nigeria, as a substrate for SCP production. Through optimization of the production of SCP using Bacillus sp. AT-b3 and Bacillus sp. CMF 12 as model organisms. Molecular identification through 16S rRNA sequencing confirmed Bacillus sp. AT-b3 and Bacillus sp. CMF 12 as the most potent isolates for SCP production. Optimization studies were conducted using the One-Factor-at-a-Time (OFAT) method to determine the ideal fermentation conditions. The results showed that the optimal temperature for SCP production was 40 °C, with Bacillus sp. AT-b3 demonstrating superior production efficiency. pH optimization revealed that neutral pH (pH 7) was ideal for maximizing SCP production, with Bacillus spp. AT-b3 outperforming Bacillus sp. CMF 12 at this pH. Substrate concentration studies indicated that 2.0% was optimal for SCP production, and incubation time optimization indicated 48 hours as the optimal period for maximum yield. Amino acid profiling of the SCP produced showed significant variations between the two isolates. Bacillus sp. CMF 12 was richer in essential amino acids like Arginine and Methionine, while Bacillus sp. AT-b3 had a higher Glycine content at (p<0.05). The findings of this study suggest that both strains have potential applications in nutritional supplements, with Bacillus sp. AT-b3 being particularly suited for industrial-scale SCP production. This study concludes that Bacillus sp. AT-b3 is an efficient SCP producer under optimal conditions of neutral pH, moderate temperature, and appropriate substrate concentration. Further research is recommended to explore pilot-scale production, alternative substrates, and comprehensive safety assessments.

ABSTRACT

RSM was performed for the optimization of processing conditions to develop ghewar, traditional sweetmeat of India. Three variables i.e. frying temperature (160-180 ?C), batter temperature (5-10 ?C) and frying time (4-6 minute) were taken to investigate the effect on ghewar responses viz., oil content, moisture content, texture and sensory attributes (OA). The optimum conditions were 160 ?C frying temperature, 5?C batter temperature and 4 minute frying time. Upon optimization, the ghewar yielded the following results: 45.33% oil content, 4.65% moisture, 15.2 N texture (hardness), 54.89 L value, 15.16 a value, 24.97 b value, 58.73 hue value, 29.21 chroma value, 48.07 total color difference, and 0.24 water activity. Storage study of optimized ghewar was also carried out and found shelf stable for 30 days in metallised foil pouches. Hardness values were found to progressively drop from 15.2-9.40 N during the storage period, whereas moisture content, FFA, and peroxide value were found to gradually increase from 3.70-5.12%, 0.33-0.54 %, and 4.8-7.6 meq/kg, respectively.

ABSTRACT

The modern logistics environment faces the complex challenge of transporting perishable commodities, necessitating precise solutions to ensure on-time delivery while maintaining product integrity. This study delves into the critical aspect of managing time-sensitive perishable goods within the supply chain. Existing methods often fall short in providing optimal solutions, leading to increased costs and reduced quality. To address this, the paper introduces a novel approach utilizing Genetic Algorithms for route planning and vehicle allocation under time constraints. While current literature acknowledges the importance of ef?cient perishable goods transportation, it lacks comprehensive techniques that fully integrate the time-sensitive aspect. Our research aims to ?ll this gap by leveraging the ?exibility of genetic algorithms, a powerful optimization tool, to enhance the timely delivery of perishable items. We propose a framework that adapts genetic algorithms to outperform traditional methods in route planning, reducing transportation costs, and minimizing spoilage risk. Our hypothesis suggests that this approach will signi?cantly improve supply chain management outcomes. Empirical assessments indicate positive results, with the Genetic Algorithm-based framework optimizing the timely delivery of perishable goods, preserving product quality, reducing costs, and increasing route ef?ciency. The adaptability of genetic algorithms to dynamic environments ensures real-time responsiveness to changing demands and constraints. The study's ?ndings have practical implications for supply chain managers and the logistics industry, offering a sustainable and ef?cient solution for time-sensitive transportation, reducing environmental impact, and improving resource utilization. This work not only advances academic knowledge in logistics optimization but also provides a valuable guide for industry stakeholders seeking innovative and sustainable solutions for the transportation of perishable goods.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Delays in non-traumatic emergency abdominal surgeries can significantly impact patient outcomes. Identifying the factors contributing to these delays is crucial for improving surgical efficiency and patient care. This study aims to prospectively analyze the determinants of delays in non-traumatic emergency abdominal surgeries and their effects on clinical outcomes. Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted on patients requiring non-traumatic emergency abdominal surgery over a one-year period. Data were collected on demographic variables, clinical characteristics, and time intervals from hospital admission to surgery. Factors such as diagnostic procedures, availability of surgical staff, operating room logistics, and preoperative optimization were analyzed. Statistical analysis was performed to identify significant predictors of surgical delays. Results: Out of 217 patients, 40% experienced significant delays (>6 hours) from admission to surgery. Key factors contributing to delays included prolonged diagnostic workup (35%), limited operating room availability (25%), and preoperative medical optimization (20%). Delays were associated with increased postoperative complications (15% in delayed group vs. 8% in non-delayed group, p<0.05) and extended hospital stay (mean of 7 days in delayed group vs. 4 days in non-delayed group, p<0.05). Discussion: The study highlights that diagnostic delays and operating room logistics are major contributors to surgical postponements. Addressing these issues through streamlined diagnostic protocols and improved operating room management can potentially reduce delays. Enhanced preoperative planning and resource allocation are also essential to mitigate the impact of delays on patient outcomes. Conclusion:Delays in non-traumatic emergency abdominal surgeries are influenced by multiple factors, including diagnostic processes, operating room availability, and preoperative medical optimization. Reducing these delays through targeted interventions can improve patient outcomes and optimize surgical care.

ABSTRACT

Raw starch degrading enzyme (RSDE) is a group of enzymes that can directly degrade starch granules at low temperatures without the gelatinization process resulting in reduced cost and energy consumption. This work aimed to optimize the enzyme production, purification, and characterization of RSDE from Laceyella sacchari P43. The highest enzyme production was found at 171.8 ± 6.53 U/mL when using the low-cost agricultural crop and by-products from the brewing industry, including broken rice powder and dried brewer’s yeast at 8.0 and 4.7 g/L, respectively. The optimized medium resulted in a 5.03-fold improvement in RSDE production and an 8.5-fold reduction in cost compared to the non-optimized medium. The optimum physical factors enhancing RSDE production were pH at 6.5 and 50°C. The fed-batch fermentation was carried out in a 3.0 L airlift fermenter, which showed the highest enzyme production at 201 ± 11.53 U/mL. The purified enzyme has a molecular weight of 50 kDa and 35.2 purification folds with optimum activity at pH 6.0 and 55°C. The enzyme stimulated the activity by Co2+, Mn2+, and Ca2+ and was strongly inhibited by N-Bromosuccinimide, which confirmed that it was ?-amylase. The crude enzyme could hydrolyze the low-grade broken rice powder, yielding 40.31 ± 2.21 g/L after incubating for 9 h. This study developed the enzyme production process using low-cost substrates and enzyme application for sugar syrup production, which could be applied for further industrial application.

ABSTRACT

Background: Preeclampsia poses significant challenges to maternal healthcare due to its potential complications. Timely and accurate diagnosis is crucial for maternal and fetal well-being. Traditional methods like the 24-hour urine collection for assessing proteinuria have limitations. The spot urinary protein/creatinine ratio offers a quicker alternative, but its clinical significance remains underexplored.Methods: This cross-sectional study, conducted from July 1, 2018, to June 30, 2019, aimed to compare the spot urinary protein/creatinine ratio with the conventional 24-hour urine protein collection method in pregnant women with preeclampsia. A total of 90 inpatients were included, meeting specific inclusion and exclusion criteria.Results: In our study, 6.66% of subjects exhibited abnormal fundus examination findings, lower than a similar study (13%). No subjects had papilloedema, and conservatively managed abnormalities were comparable between studies. The mean urine protein creatinine ratio in our study was 1.75±2.32.Conclusions: This study highlights the potential of the spot urinary protein/creatinine ratio as an efficient diagnostic tool for preeclampsia at Kamla Nehru State Hospital for Mother and Child. Swift identification of significant proteinuria can streamline patient care, benefiting maternal and fetal outcomes in resource-constrained healthcare settings.

ABSTRACT

This study was carried out to optimize foaming preparation conditions for Artemia biomass using the three-level Box–Behnken experimental design of Response Surface Methodology. Three independent variables, namely, water/ Artemia ratio (WAR) (2/1, 4/1 and 6/1), egg albumin (EA) (9.2, 12.2 and 15.2%), and xanthan gum (XG) concentration (0.1, 0.24 and 0.38%), together with three dependent variables characterizing the foam stability, including foam expansion volume (EV), foam density (FD), and drainage volume (DV) were optimized. Multiple regression analyses were applied to analyze the relationship between dependent variables (EV, FS, and DV) and three independent variables (WAR, EA, and XG) as indicators of foaming capacity and foam stability. In addition, simultaneous optimization of multiple responses has also been applied. The optimal combination of WAR was 4.6 (v/w), EA = 13.5%, and XG = 0.25% which gave the maximum foam expansion 293.4%, minimum FD 0.27 g/mL, and volume drainage of at least 0.7 mL. The validated values were found to be very close to the experimental values.

ABSTRACT

Objective: A definitive objective for supporting drug discharge is to expand the remedial movement of the medication while limiting its incidental effects. Microspheres have become a unique medicine delivery mechanism for several disorders in this area. The popular fluoroquinolone antibiotic, Ciprofloxacin, is used to treat a variety of bacterial illnesses. This research aims to create Ciprofloxacin microspheres with sustained drug delivery using natural gum polymers.Methods: To choose and assess the ideal formulation, a variety of formulations (F1–F8) were developed. This work was completed using an innovative technology, the Ionic Gelation method. Central Composite Design (CCD) used the quadratic forward regression approach to carry out the optimization. The evaluation tests include Particle size, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), FTIR, Percentage yield, Drug content, Drug Entrapment effectiveness and in vitro dissolution studies.Results: It was discovered that the best formulation was F4. From optimization, the ANOVA was found to be significant. The uneven, spherical structure of microspheres with a rough outer surface is confirmed by SEM investigation. The absence of drug-polymer interaction is confirmed by the FTIR. The formulation F4 was deemed ideal due to its high drug entrapment efficiency, drug content and maximal drug release (89.25% in 12 h).Conclusion: Due to the least plasma half-life, this drug is designed as microspheres thus maximizing the therapeutic activity and minimizing the negative effects. In this regard, microspheres have emerged as novel drug-delivery systems for various diseases. It maintains effective dose concentration, eliminates night-time dosage and decreases side effects, thus optimizing drug therapy.

ABSTRACT

Aiming at the obstacle avoidance in simulated prosthetic vision,an improved instance segmentation model SOLOv2-RS is proposed for providing a basis for implant recipients to accurately perceive the relevant instance objects of navigation tasks in low-resolution prosthetic vision.According to the visual attention mechanism,the distance from the center of the visual field and the target scale are adopted as the importance calculation criteria for each instance,and the obtained importance score is used as the basis for the hierarchical representation of the obstacles to be avoided.Meanwhile,edge information is used to cue the tactile paving,and it is morphologically inflated for avoiding the edge information loss caused by the limited phosphene.The prosthetic vision simulation results demonstrate that the hierarchical optimization processing strategy for simulated prosthetic vision can effectively achieve the optimal representation of tactile paving and obstacles,thus facilitating the implant recipients to accomplish outdoor obstacle avoidance tasks more efficiently,and providing ideas for the research on the image processing of visual prosthetic devices.

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the mechanical properties of titanium mesh and three-dimensional(3D)-printed metal vertebral body substitutes(VBS)to provide guidance for the selection and structural optimization of artificial vertebral implants in clinical practice.Methods The equivalent elastic modulus,equivalent yield strength,and structural failure mode of titanium mesh and 3D-printed porous,truss,and topologically optimized VBS were systematically investigated using compression tests.Results The elastic modulus of the titanium mesh(2 908.73±287.39 MPa)was only lower than that of the topologically optimized VBS.However,their structural strengths and stabilities were inadequate.The yield strength of the titanium mesh(46.61±4.85 MPa)was only higher than that of the porous VBS and it was the first to yield during compression.The porous VBS was insufficient for use as the vertebral implant owing to its poor mechanical strength(18.14±0.17 MPa-25.79±0.40 MPa).The truss VBS had good elastic modulus(2 477.86±55.19 MPa-2 620.08±194.36 MPa)and strength(77.61±0.50 MPa-88.42±1.07 MPa).However,the structural stability of the truss VBS was insufficient,and instability occurred easily during compression.The topologically optimized VBS had the highest elastic modulus(3 746.28±183.80 MPa)and yield strength(177.43±3.82 MPa)among all the tested VBS types,which could provide improved security and stability for artificial vertebral implant in vivo services.Conclusions Topology optimization results in a high strength and high stability VBS design.Moreover,it provides a large design space and great safety margin to provide increased possibilities for lightweight and new material design of future artificial vertebral implants.
