Article Abstract
The objective was to investigate combined effects of aging-, freezing-, thawing- treatments on the water-holding capacity, Warner-Bratzler shear force (WBSF) and sensory properties of beef. Semitendinosus muscles from two crossbreeds were analysed. Carcasses were conventionally aged (4days post mortem), muscles were separated and divided into samples. Part of the samples were frozen without wet-aging and the others were wet-aged for 3 or 6days (and then also frozen). Two freezing methods (conventional and cryogenic) and two thawing methods (at 4°C and 20°C) were applied. Stepwise conventional/wet-aging just as thawing at 20°C, decreased the WBSF (P<0.05) and increased the scores for tenderness (P<0.05). Moreover, wet-aging for 3days gave an equal effect on tenderness (P>0.05) as the 6-days period. Meat from Hereford-crosses scored significantly higher for juiciness, compared with Limousin-crosses. These tips may be applied in the meat industry to reduce time of aging process and ensure a consistent high quality of frozen beef.

Patient portals have the potential to both improve and harm patient-clinician partnerships by reshaping how health information is exchanged and how patients and providers communicate. Patients ( = 20) and primary care clinicians ( = 11) purposively sampled from clinics serving diverse New Jersey communities were interviewed. Patients distinguished two portal functions - linear information exchange and bidirectional communication - but did so in different ways.

Background: Superficial injection of hyaluronic acid (HA)-based gels is a widely used method to restore skin quality and achieve a more youthful appearance. While the clinical benefits of such procedures are well established, their biological mechanisms of action remain poorly understood.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of two cross-linked HA gels (IPN-12.

To address the technical challenges associated with determining the chronological order of overlapping stamps and textual content in forensic document examination, this study proposes a novel non-destructive method that integrates hyperspectral imaging (HSI) with convolutional neural networks (CNNs). A multi-type cross-sequence dataset was constructed, comprising 60 samples of handwriting-stamp sequences and 20 samples of printed text-stamp sequences, all subjected to six months of natural aging. Spectral responses were collected across the 400-1000 nm range in the overlapping regions.

Background And Aims: Cholangiopathies, including primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), and post-COVID-19 cholangiopathy (PCC), involve chronic cholangiocyte injury, senescence, epithelial-stromal crosstalk, and progressive fibrosis. However, effective in vitro models to capture these interactions are limited. Here, we present a scaffold-free 3D multilineage spheroid model, composed of hepatocyte-like cells (HepG2), cholangiocytes (H69), and hepatic stellate cells (LX-2), designed to recapitulate early fibrogenic responses driven by senescent cholangiocytes.

Purpose: Postoperative delirium (POD) remains poorly understood in terms of predictors and underlying mechanisms. This review summarized emerging evidence on the association between brain microstructural alterations and POD.
Method: This is a narrative review, describing the microstructural changes in aging brain, microstructural MRI findings, relationship among microstructural alterations, cognitive reserve and POD, and potential interventions targeting microstructure.
