Article Abstract
Dietary patterns have a significant impact on the occurrence of urolithiasis. This study aimed to investigate the causal relationships between the consumption of glucosamine, fresh fruits, and tea, and the predisposition to urinary stones using a Mendelian randomization (MR) approach. Genetic proxies for these dietary factors were obtained from the UK Biobank, while the summary data for urolithiasis genome-wide association analyses were sourced from the FinnGen consortium. Five MR methodologies, namely inverse variance weighted (IVW), MR-Egger regression, weighted median, weighted mode, and simple mode, were employed in the analysis. To validate the findings, sensitivity evaluations such as the MR-PRESSO disruption test and Cochran Q test for heterogeneity were performed. The IVW method showed that glucosamine consumption had a strong inverse association with urolithiasis risk (Odds Ratio [OR] = 0.006, 95% Confidence Interval [CI] 0.0001-0.287, P = .009), surpassing the associations of fresh fruits (OR = 0.464, 95% CI 0.219-0.983, P = .045) and tea (OR = 0.550, 95% CI 0.345-0.878, P = .012). These findings were consistent when verified using alternative MR techniques, and the sensitivity analyses further supported their credibility. The results of this MR analysis demonstrate that regular consumption of glucosamine, fresh fruits, and tea is inversely correlated with the risk of developing urolithiasis.

In this era of hectic lifestyle no one have ample time to take care of their health and generally people miss some nutrients daily. This study has shown that, how to use low price ingredients such as colostrum (unutilized part of dairy farm), flax seed, moringa leaves powder, fresh dates, and gram flour to formulate functional colostrum bar to tackle nutrients deficiency. Optimization process was performed on the basis of sensory attributes, and further functional compounds profiling was done by High Resolution Accurate Mass Spectroscopy, which identified about 980 compounds in total, 60 of which could be positively identified.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined the organic matter in Dal Lake sediments over approximately 3700 years using multiple indicators, revealing an increase in total organic carbon and nitrogen in upper layers over the last 476 to 73 years.
- It identified varying sources of organic matter through changes in the C/N ratio and observed a decrease in amino acid concentrations with depth, with specific amino acids dominating in recent sediments.
- The research utilized multivariate analysis and time series forecasting to establish correlations between organic matter degradation, microbial activity, and environmental factors, suggesting upcoming ecological changes in Dal Lake.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on Stenotrophomonas rhizophila JC1 and its extracellular polysaccharides (EPS), which are effective in adsorbing heavy metals, particularly lead (Pb), in optimal fermentation conditions determined by the Box-Behnken design (BBD).
- The composition of EPS includes glucose, glucosamine, galactose, and mannose in specific ratios, and it features four distinct polymers with varying molecular weights; the adsorption behaviors followed established models for kinetics and isotherms.
- The findings indicate that Pb negatively affects alfalfa growth and development, but low concentrations of EPS can enhance seed germination and mitigate Pb stress, suggesting EPS's potential for soil
