Hydrodistillation and solid-liquid extraction with organic solvents or supercritical CO are standard technologies for natural product manufacturing. Within this technology, portfolio pressurized hot water technology is ranked as a green, sustainable, resilient, kosher and halal manufacturing process. Essential for sustainability is energy integration for heating and cooling the auxiliary water as well as product concentration without evaporation but with the aid of low energy consuming ultra- and nanofiltration membrane technology. The incorporation of modern unit operations, such as pressurized hot water extraction, along with inline measurement devices for Process Analytical Technology approaches, showcases a shift in traditional extraction processes. Traditional equipment and processes still dominate the manufacturing of plant extracts, yet leveraging innovative chemical process engineering methods offers promising avenues for the economic and ecological advancement of botanicals. Techniques such as modeling and process intensification with green technology hold potential in this regard. Digitalization and Industry 4.0 methodologies, including machine learning and artificial intelligence, play pivotal roles in sustaining natural product extraction manufacturing and can profoundly impact the future of human health.

To cope with heat and water stress, evergreen and deciduous species from hot and arid deserts should adjust their stomatal conductance ( ) and leaf water potential (Ψ) regulation in response to changes in soil water availability, high temperatures, and vapour pressure deficits (VPDs). To test whether phenology induces changes in -Ψ coordination, we tested for associations between 14 leaf traits involved in leaf economics, hydraulics, and stomatal regulation, including minimum seasonal water potential (Ψ) and maximum ( ), turgor loss point (Ψ), osmotic potential (Ψ), leaf area (LA), and specific leaf area (SLA), across 12 tree species from the Sonoran Desert with contrasting phenology. We found that foliar phenology, leaf hydraulics, and leaf economic traits are coordinated across species and organized along the axis of physiological efficiency and safety in response to temperature and VPD.

Objectives: While evidence suggests an association between vasomotor symptoms (VMS; hot flushes and night sweats) and elevated blood pressure (BP), it remains unknown whether females who experience VMS have elevated muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA), a major modulator of BP. We hypothesized that postmenopausal females with VMS would have elevated BP and MSNA at rest and during stress compared to age-matched females without VMS.
Methods: Participants were grouped based on whether they currently or previously experienced VMS (n=43) or never experienced VMS (non-VMS; n=26).

Heart failure (HF) is the end-stage of all cardiac diseases, characterized by high prevalence, high mortality, and heavy social and economic burden. Early warning of HF exacerbation is of great value for outpatient management and reducing readmission rates. Currently, remote dynamic monitoring technology, which captures changes in hemodynamic and physiological parameters of HF patients, has become the primary method for early warning and is a hot research topic in clinical studies.

Background: Several experimental pain models have been developed to better understand shoulder pain. However, most of these models do not accurately replicate characteristic features of clinical pain. The aim of this study was to assess whether the effects of the short-wave diathermy (SWD) pain model mimic clinical shoulder pain in terms of intensity, quality, and spatial distribution.

Background: Loss of sensation after mastectomy impacts long-term satisfaction, yet thermal sensory outcomes remain understudied. This study compares tactile and thermal recovery following two-stage alloplastic versus neurotized autologous breast reconstruction.
Methods: In this prospective single-institution study, patients underwent mastectomy with either two-stage alloplastic or immediate neurotized DIEP flap reconstruction.
