Article Abstract

In this study, pepper () leaf (ZL) extract was added to larou to investigate the improvement in the quality of physicochemical properties, texture, water distribution, and microorganism growth during storage for 20 days. Based on the results, the addition of ZL extract significantly retarded the increase in cooking loss, TBARS value, hardness, and microorganism growth. Moreover, the addition of ZL extract decreased the pH value, lightness, and microorganism counts, and increased the moisture content, total soluble protein content, * value, * value, and chewiness. The LF-NMR results showed that the addition of ZL extract shortened the T relaxation time and boosted the proportion of immobilized water, facilitating the validation of the improvement in water retention of larou during storage. The FT-IR results indicated that the addition of ZL extract influenced the protein secondary structure by inducing the conversion of α-helices to β-sheet structures. Accordingly, ZL extract has the potential to serve as a natural antioxidant, effectively helping to ameliorate the quality properties of cured meat products during storage.

Brain CT for Diagnosis of Intracranial Disease in Ambulatory Cancer Patients: Assessment of the Diagnostic Value of Scanning Without Contrast Prior to With Contrast.

AJNR Am J Neuroradiol

September 2025

From the Department of Diagnostic Radiology (E.W., A.D., C.J.M., M.C., M.K.G.) and Department of Pathology (L.Y.B.), MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX, USA; Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging (L.T., J.M.J), Yale University, New Haven, CT, USA.

Background And Purpose: Brain imaging with MRI or CT is standard in screening for intracranial disease among ambulatory cancer patients. Although MRI offers greater sensitivity, CT is frequently employed due to its accessibility, affordability, and faster acquisition time. However, the necessity of routinely performing a non-contrast CT with the contrast-enhanced study is unknown.

Background: In the United States, cancer is more prevalent in racial and ethnic minority groups and in rural-dwelling and low-income people. Compared with White people of non-Hispanic descent, Black and African American people have higher cancer mortality and Hispanic people are more likely to be diagnosed with infection-related cancers. In addition, people who live in persistent poverty areas are more vulnerable to cancer mortality.

Purpose: Ketogenic diet therapy (KDT) has been successfully used as an effective management option for drug resistant epilepsy (DRE) since the 1920 s. The ketogenic formulation studied here (KetoCal) is nutritionally complete, very high in fat, and low in carbohydrates and has played a crucial role in supporting the implementation of KDT for over twenty-five years. This scoping review aims to synthesise the existing literature regarding the safety, acceptability, and efficacy of the ketogenic formulation in supporting the management of DRE.
