This study aimed to explore how pulsed electric field (PEF) treatment affects the structural, physicochemical, and emulsification properties of porcine-derived myofibrillar proteins (MPs). Increasing PEF treatment induced partial polarization and protein unfolding, resulting in notable denaturation that affected both the secondary and tertiary structures. PEF treatment also improved the solubility and emulsification ability of MPs by reducing their pH and surface hydrophobicity. Confocal laser scanning microscopy confirmed the effective adsorption of MPs and PEF-treated MPs at the oil/water interface, resulting in well-fabricated Pickering emulsions. A weak particle network increased the apparent viscosity in short-term PEF-treated Pickering emulsions. Conversely, in emulsions with long-term PEF-treated MP, rheological variables decreased, and dispersion stability increased. These results endorse the potential application of PEF-treated porcine-derived MPs as efficient Pickering stabilizers, offering valuable insights into the creative use of PEF for enhancing high-quality meat products, meeting the increasing demand for clean-label choices.

Background: Natural history data show that respiratory function is impaired in SMA patients. Observational studies have shown stabilization of respiratory function in adult SMA patients treated with nusinersen. However, long-term studies investigating the effect of nusinersen on respiratory function in adult SMA patients are rare.

To assess the safety and to identify risk factors associated with systemic adverse effects (SAEs) during the dose-escalation phase of rush immunotherapy (RIT) in patients with allergic rhinitis (AR). A retrospective analysis was conducted in 316 house dust mite-allergic patients diagnosed with AR who underwent RIT at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University between February 2012 and August 2024, including 206 males and 110 females aging from 5 to 58 years old. The number of patients experiencing SAEs, the frequency of SAE incidents, and the severity grades of SAEs during the dose-escalation phase were analyzed.

Background: Its objective was to use meta-analysis (MA) to methodically assess the impact of perioperative breathing exercises on the postoperative rehabilitation of patients with lung cancer (LC) having radical resection. METHODS: PubMed, and other databases were searched for randomized controlled trials on radical resection of LC combined with perioperative respiratory training from January 1995 to January 2024. After quality assessment, MA was performed using Review Manager 5.

Aims: The impact of treatment for tricuspid regurgitation (TR) across different levels of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) remains uncertain. This study aimed to compare the outcomes of surgical and transcatheter tricuspid valve interventions (TTVI) to conservative (medical) management across LVEF categories.
Methods And Results: Patients with severe isolated TR from the TRIGISTRY, a multicentre international registry, were categorized based on LVEF (preserved ejection fraction [pEF]: ≥50%, mildly reduced ejection fraction [mrEF]: 41-49%, and reduced ejection fraction [rEF]: ≤40%).

The increasing integration of physical and nanotechnological treatments in agriculture has unlocked new possibilities for enhancing seed performance and the functional properties of seedlings. This study aimed to determine the effect of the coupled use of pulsed electric field (PEF) and the soaking (coating) of sunflower seeds in metal nanoparticles (AgNP and CuNP) on their germination capacity and on the stem and root length, content of pigments (chlorophyll , chlorophyll , carotenoids), color profile, and antioxidative properties (FRAP, polyphenols, TPC, ABTS, and DPPH) of sunflower seedlings. The study results enable the drawing of explicit conclusions that the higher PEF energy applied (5.
