Article Abstract

In this study, the Response Surface Methodology was used to optimize the extraction conditions for anthocyanins from purple corn flour (PCF), whereas the optimized extract was characterized in terms of phytochemicals content, inhibitory activity against metabolic associated enzymes and the potential to stimulate the metabolic activity of yeasts. The optimized conditions using a Box-Behnken design (BBD) of response surface methodology (RSM) were as follow: temperature (39 °C), extraction time (5 h), liquid/solid ratio (30 mL/g) and ethanol concentration (73 %), yielding a maximum response predicted and experimental values of 13.77 and 14.04 ± 0.02 mg cyanidin 3--glucoside equivalents (C3G)/g dry weight (DW). The extract showed a high content in myricetin, quercetin 3-β-d-glucoside, kaempferol, whereas the main anthocyanin was C3G. The extract was test the effect on metabolic activity of , with the highest multiplication rate obtained at 1.2 mg/100 mL. The extract showed potential antidiabetic, hypocholesterolemic and preventive effects against Parkinson's disease and melanoma. The findings provide the optimum conditions to obtain an anthocyanin enriched extract, for multiple applications.

Leveraging GPT-4o for Automated Extraction and Categorization of CAD-RADS Features From Free-Text Coronary CT Angiography Reports: Diagnostic Study.

Background: Despite the Coronary Artery Reporting and Data System (CAD-RADS) providing a standardized approach, radiologists continue to favor free-text reports. This preference creates significant challenges for data extraction and analysis in longitudinal studies, potentially limiting large-scale research and quality assessment initiatives.

Objective: To evaluate the ability of the generative pre-trained transformer (GPT)-4o model to convert real-world coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) free-text reports into structured data and automatically identify CAD-RADS categories and P categories.

Department of Preventive Medicine, College of Medicine, Korea University, 73 Goryeodae-ro, Seoungbuk-gu, Seoul, 02841, Republic of Korea, 82 2-2286-1169.

Background: Scrub typhus (ST), also known as tsutsugamushi disease, is a common febrile vector-borne illness in South Korea, transmitted by trombiculid mites infected with Orientia tsutsugamushi, with rodents serving as the main hosts. Although vector-borne diseases like ST require both a One Health approach and a spatiotemporal perspective to fully understand their complex dynamics, previous studies have often lacked integrated analyses that simultaneously address disease dynamics, vectors, and environmental shifts.

Objective: We aimed to explore spatiotemporal trends, high-risk areas, and risk factors of ST by simultaneously incorporating host and environmental information.

Background: Pediatric surgical diseases are conditions that require surgery in children to save lives, prevent disability, or provide palliative care. Surgeries can be major or minor based on factors like severity, and complexity. Prolonged hospital stay could significantly affect the limited resources of the hospital, and further lead to post-operative complications, and poor surgical outcome.
