Article Abstract
This study evaluated the current practices of selecting cold storage preservation solutions in Brazil and their impact on delayed graft function (DGF) incidence and 1-year outcomes in kidney transplant recipients. A retrospective cohort study was conducted, including 3,134 brain-dead deceased donor kidney transplants performed between 2014 and 2015 in 18 Brazilian centers. The most commonly used preservation solution was Euro-collins (EC, 55.4%), followed by Histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate (HTK, 30%) and Institut Georges Lopez (IGL-1, 14.6%). The incidence of DGF was 54.4%, with 11.7% of patients requiring dialysis for more than 14 days, indicating prolonged DGF. Upon adjusting for confounding variables, HTK demonstrated a significantly lower risk of DGF than EC (OR 0.7350.82500.926), as did IGL-1 (OR 0.6050.7120.837). Similar protective effects were observed for prolonged DGF when comparing HTK (OR 0.4780.5990.749) and IGL-1 (OR 0.4780.6810.749) against EC. No significant association was found between preservation solutions and 1-year death-censored graft survival. In conclusion, EC was the most frequently used cold storage perfusion solution, demonstrating a higher incidence and duration of DGF compared with HTK and IGL-1, but with no impact on 1-year graft survival.

Unlabelled: Propolis, or bee glue, is a resinous substance produced by honeybees from plant resins, rich in bioactive compounds with antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cavity properties. These qualities make it a valuable natural preservative in the food industry, extending shelf life and preventing spoilage. Propolis has gained attention as an alternative to synthetic preservatives.

Retinal fundus photography is significant in diagnosing and monitoring retinal diseases. However, systemic imperfections and operator/patient-related factors can hinder the acquisition of high-quality retinal images. Previous efforts in retinal image enhancement primarily relied on GANs, which are limited by the trade-off between training stability and output diversity.

Basil seed gum (BSG) is a natural, biodegradable hydrocolloid derived from basil seeds with promising applications in food packaging. Due to its biocompatibility, film-forming capacity, and favorable mechanical and barrier properties, BSG is an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic packaging. This review highlights the development and functional properties of BSG-based films and coatings, especially for preserving perishable foods like seafood, meat, poultry, fruits, and fried products.

Turmeric () is primarily traded in dried form; preserving its bioactive compounds and quality through optimal drying methods is critical. This study evaluated the effects of various drying techniques-sun drying (SD), convection oven drying (COD), vacuum oven drying (VOD), infrared drying (IRD), microwave drying (MD), and freeze drying (FD)-on turmeric rhizomes slices. Key parameters analyzed included moisture loss, color, total phenolic content (TPC), curcumin content, antioxidant capacity and essential oil (EO) content and composition.

Objective: Celsior solution (CS) is used for cold preservation of hearts from brain death donors but not for those from circulatory death donors (DCD). Plasma membrane repair proteins are crucial for maintaining myocardial integrity during ischemia. We compared the effects of CS cold preservation with normal saline (NS) on myocardial membrane disruption and pyroptosis in human DCD hearts, with varying warm ischemia times (WIT) and cold storage durations.
