Article Abstract
Apricot polyphenols and carotenoids were monitored after industrial and domestic cooking, and after 2months of storage for industrial processing. The main apricot polyphenols were flavan-3-ols, flavan-3-ol monomers and oligomers, with an average degree of polymerization between 4.7 and 10.7 and caffeoylquinic acids. Flavonols and anthocyanins were minor phenolic compounds. Upon processing procyanidins were retained in apricot tissue. Hydroxycinnamic acids, flavan-3-ol monomers, flavonols and anthocyanins leached in the syrup. Flavonol concentrations on per-can basis were significantly increased after processing. Industrial processing effects were higher than domestic cooking probably due to higher temperature and longer duration. After 2months of storage, among polyphenols only hydroxycinnamic acids, flavan-3-ol monomers and anthocyanins were reduced. Whichever the processing method, no significant reductions of total carotenoids were observed after processing. The cis-β-carotene isomer was significantly increased after processing but with a lower extent in domestic cooking. Significant decreased in total carotenoid compounds occurred during storage.

Impact of Caregiver Status on Academic Achievements and Family-Work Conflict: A Cross-Sectional Analysis of US Neurology Faculty.

Background And Objectives: With more women entering the medical workforce, caregiving challenges and family-work conflicts are of growing importance to today's neurologists. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of caregiver (CG) status on academic achievements in neurology, analyze the division of labor and time devoted to domestic responsibilities, and measure family-work conflict in US academic neurology faculty.
Methods: A total of 19 US neurology departments completed a survey on baseline demographics, academic achievements, CG status, division of domestic time and labor, and responses on a FWC scale.
It is known that the consumption of edible lamellibranch mollusks (ELMs), undercooked or raw, is a vehicle for the oral transmission of viral and bacterial pathogens. ELMs most frequently fished/cultivated and consumed in Italy are Mytilus galloprovincialis and Chamelea gallina. The aim of this project was to standardize the cooking conditions of Mytilus galloprovincialis and Chamelea gallina, reproducible in a domestic environment, to obtain food in which the microbiological risk was eliminated but, at the same time, preserved the original organoleptic characteristics.

Barley is a good source of dietary fibre, vitamins, and minerals. Moreover, it is a source of polyphenols, which recently have been studied for their antioxidant properties. Barley generally is not eaten in its raw form, and the necessary processing influences the polyphenol content.

Background/objectives: International students pursuing higher education in the United States face unique challenges that increase their risk of food insecurity, including limited financial resources, employment restrictions, and cultural barriers. While food insecurity among domestic students has been widely studied, limited research focuses on the lived experiences of international graduate students. This study explores the challenges, perceptions, and coping strategies related to food insecurity among international graduate students at a large public university in North Texas.

Introduction: Household cooking with solid fuels exposes women to prolonged indoor heat levels that routinely exceed internationally accepted occupational safety thresholds; yet, this exposure remains largely absent from climate-health analyses. This perspective article introduces the concept of thermal labor-the physiological strain, time cost, and health risks associated with performing domestic work under chronically elevated kitchen temperatures-and argues that such exposure constitutes an overlooked driver of gendered health inequities in Nepal's Madhesh Province.
Methods: Evidence was synthesized from national temperature records, caste-disaggregated census data, spot measurements conducted by the Nepal Health Research Council, and illustrative intervention studies from South Asia and Africa.
