Carryover effects of feeding tropical fresh or air-dried roughage to Holstein-Friesian crossbred dairy cows on nutritional, techno-functional, and sensory properties of mozzarella cheese.

This study investigated how different dietary roughages, Napier-Pakchong (NP), jumbo sorghum (JB), and rice straw (RS) fed to Holstein-Friesian (HF) crossbred cows affect the nutritional, techno-functional, and sensory properties of mozzarella cheese under tropical conditions in Bangladesh. Iso-nitrogenous (≈12.54% CP) and iso-energetic (ME ≈2.

Bioactivity and Phytochemical Characterization of Ceriops decandra (Griff.) Ding Hou. Leaves: HPLC-DAD Profiling, Antioxidant, Antimicrobial, and Antidiarrheal Potentials.

Ceriops decandra (Griff.) Ding Hou, a mangrove species (family: Rhizophoraceae), has been traditionally used for its medicinal properties. This study investigates the phytochemical composition along with antioxidant, antimicrobial, and antidiarrheal potentials of C.

Fabrication of nZVI/rGO via an innovative thermal co-reduction method for enhanced PFAS removal through sequential adsorption and photocatalytic degradation.

This study investigates the synthesis, characterization, and performance of nanoscale zero-valent iron/reduced graphene oxide (nZVI/rGO) nanohybrids for the efficient removal of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The magnetic nanohybrids were fabricated using an innovative thermal co-reduction method, enabling scalable production under inert conditions. Comprehensive characterization confirmed successful integration of nZVI onto rGO sheets, and nanohybrids exhibited high surface area, strong magnetic properties, and effective adsorption and photocatalytic degradation capabilities for PFAS.

HarmonicEchoNet: Leveraging harmonic convolutions for automated standard plane detection in fetal heart ultrasound videos.

Fetal echocardiography offers non-invasive and real-time imaging acquisition of fetal heart images to identify congenital heart conditions. Manual acquisition of standard heart views is time-consuming, whereas automated detection remains challenging due to high spatial similarity across anatomical views with subtle local image appearance variations. To address these challenges, we introduce a very lightweight frequency-guided deep learning-based model named HarmonicEchoNet that can automatically detect heart standard views in a transverse sweep or freehand ultrasound scan of the fetal heart.

Social and commercial determinants of inappropriate antibiotic use in resource-constrained settings: A social-ecological system framework analysis.

Background: Non-prescription antibiotic use is common in low- and middle-income countries, particularly in community-settings, yet research often overlooks social and commercial drivers beyond formal-healthcare.

Methods: This qualitative study conducted 64 in-depth interviews-16 each with pharmacy drug-sellers, pharmaceutical sales-representatives, registered-physicians, and antibiotic-users-across two urban and two rural areas in Bangladesh. Using a social-ecological systems framework, it examined how social-and-commercial determinants influence perceptions and practices in antibiotic marketing, prescription, dispensing, and use.
