A facile method which combines the advantages of carbon quantum dots and molecular imprinting technology to design a fluorescence molecular imprinting sensor for the high sensitivity and selective detection of chloramphenicol. The fluorescent molecule imprinted polymers are synthesized by sol-gel polymerization using carbon quantum dots as functional monomers and fluorescent sources, TEOS as crosslinkers, breaking with the traditional understanding of an additional functional monomer. Under optimal experimental, as the concentration of chloramphenicol increases, the fluorescence intensity of the fluorescence molecule imprinting sensor gradually decreases...

Dysphagia is a condition that affects the ability to chew and swallow food and beverages, having a major impact on people's health and wellbeing. This work developed gel systems with a customized texture suitable for intake by dysphagic people using 3D printing and milk. Gels were developed using skim powdered milk, cassava starch (native and modified by the Dry Heating Treatment (DHT)), and different concentrations of kappa-carrageenan (ĸC). The gels were evaluated in relation to the starch modification process and concentration of gelling agents, 3D printing performance, and suitability for dysphagic people (following both the standard fork test described by the International Dysphagia Diet Standardization Initiative (IDDSI), and also using a new device coupled to a texture analyzer)...

This study aimed to gain insight from mothers who were successful in breastfeeding maintenance to develop interventions for promoting breastfeeding maintenance. Following the phenomenological framework, this qualitative study recruited mothers who had maintained breastfeeding for at least 4 months for in-depth interviews. A total of 30 in-depth interviews were completed. We found that almost all participants had experienced an initial adjustment period. During this period, a social support network, personal perseverance in "trying" breastfeeding and "pumping," and adjusting expectations for breastfeeding to relieve themselves from the pressure of exclusive breastfeeding were important coping strategies...

Betalains are water-soluble nitrogen pigments with beneficial effects, including antioxidant, antimicrobial, and pH-indicator properties. The development of packaging films incorporated with betalains has received increasing attention because of pH-responsive color-changing properties in the colorimetric indicators and smart packaging films. As such, intelligent and active packaging systems based on biodegradable polymers containing betalains have been recently developed as eco-friendly packaging to enhance the quality and safety of food products...

INTRODUCTION: The present study assessed whether asinine milk supplementation improved the immune and behavioral responses of piglets during an early life weaning stress event as a model for its future use in humans. METHODS: For this, 48 piglets from 4 different litters were used. At 20 days of age, piglets were weighed and allocated with their litter and dam into group pens until 28 days of age. Four piglets from each litter were then randomly assigned to either (1) asinine milk supplementation (n = 16) (2), skimmed cow milk supplementation (n = 16) or (3) no supplementation (n = 16; control group)...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Normal cells become tumorigenic owing to mutations in oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes modulating cell division. Cancer cells break down extracellular matrix to metastasize other tissues. Therefore, the development of natural and synthetic substances that suppress metastatic enzymes such as matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and MMP-9 is useful to inhibit metastasis. Silibinin is the main ingredient of silymarin extracted from the seeds of milk thistle plants having lung cancer-suppressing effects and liver protection...

Organosilicon modified polyurethane elastomers (Si-MTPUs) were synthesized in order to improve the anti-graffiti property of thermoplastic polyurethane elastomers (TPUs). Si-MTPUs were prepared from polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and polytetramethylene glycol (PTMG) as mixed soft segment, 1,4-butanediol (BDO) and imidazole salt ionic liquid N -glyceryl- N -methyl imidazolium chloride ([MIMl,g ]Cl) used as chain extender, and 4,4'-dicyclohexylmethane diisocyanate (HMDI). The structure, thermal stability, mechanical properties and physical crosslinking density of Si-MTPUs were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetry analysis (TGA), mechanical test and low field nuclear magnetic resonance...

Biopolymers of different natures (carbohydrates, proteins, etc.) recovered from by-products of industrial processes are increasingly being studied to obtain biomaterials as alternatives to conventional plastics, thus contributing to the implementation of a circular economy. The food industry generates huge amounts of by-products and waste, including unsold food products that reach the end of their shelf life and are no longer usable in the food chain. Milk proteins can be easily separated from dairy waste and adapted into effective bio-based polymeric materials...

Access to comprehensive maternity protection could contribute to improved breastfeeding practices for working women. Domestic workers are a vulnerable group. This study aimed to explore perceptions of and accessibility to maternity protection among domestic workers in the Western Cape, South Africa, and potential implications of maternity protection access for breastfeeding practices. This was a mixed-method cross-sectional study including a quantitative online survey with 4635 South African domestic workers and 13 individual in-depth interviews with domestic workers...

Accurate identification of glycan structures is highly desirable as they are intimately linked to their different functions. However, glycan samples generally exist as mixtures with multiple isomeric structures, making assignment of individual glycan components very challenging, even with the aid of multistage mass spectrometry (MSn ). Here, we present an approach, GIPS-mix, for assignment of isomeric glycans within a mixture using an intelligent group-opting strategy. Our approach enumerates all possible combinations (groupings) of candidate glycans and opts in the best-matched glycan group(s) based on the similarity between the simulated spectra of each glycan group and the acquired experimental spectra of the mixture...

INTRODUCTION: To understand the experiences of emergency nurses who have returned to work after parental leave, specifically relating to the return to work transition, work-life balance, work engagement, and opportunities to continue human milk expression. METHODS: Nurses (N = 19) were recruited from 5 emergency departments within 1 hospital system in the United States Midwest. Nurses (n = 11) were eligible to participate in a one-on-one interview if they had returned from parental leave within 6 months of the interview date...

BACKGROUND: Myocardial bridging is a common anatomical malformation, and the milking effect is a characteristic phenomenon of myocardial bridging in coronary angiography. Generally, the phenomenon is invariable. However, this article reports an inconceivably rare myocardial bridging phenomenon that breaks through our conventional views. The milking effect changed obviously in two coronary angiography examinations, which subverted the traditional deep-rooted view of the myocardial bridging phenomenon and revealed the limitations of coronary angiography in diagnosing myocardial bridging and judging the prognosis of it...

Crossbreeding is a process in which animals from different breeds are mated together. The animals produced will exhibit a combination of both additive and non-additive genetic improvement from parental breeds that increase heterozygosity and negate inbreeding depression. However, crossbreeding may also break up the unique and often beneficial gene combinations in parental breeds, possibly reducing performance potential as the benefits of heterosis depends on the type of crossbreeding systems used and heritability of the traits...

Children are the future of our generation, so reducing child mortality is very critical in developing countries. There are lots of asserting factors of child mortality but malnutrition is one of the prominent factors. Medically, it has been proven that breastfeeding is one of the sources of nutrients and it is being always appreciated to have mothers' milk to a child in the early days. However, with the increasing participation of women in the workforce, the child care load on breastfeeding mothers is very high...

Return to work negatively affects the initiation and duration of breastfeeding. Our study's objective was to assess the percentage of departments in Auvergne with an appropriate space for pumping milk at work. Our cross-sectional survey investigated the arrangements for facilitating the continuation of breastfeeding on return to work at all departments at the Clermont-Ferrand University Hospital Center and perinatal (obstetric and pediatric) departments in this region. Our principal endpoint was the percentage of departments reporting that they had a lactation room-a room where nursing mothers can express milk-and whether it met the criteria defined by the French Labor Code...

In the present study, a kiwifruit aqueous extract was developed and used as a coagulant enzyme in cheesemaking. In detail, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) was used to investigate the presence of actinidin, the kiwifruit enzyme involved in κ-casein hydrolysis, in different tissues (pulp, peel, and whole fruit) of ripe and unripe kiwifruits. Data revealed the presence of the enzyme both in the peel and in the pulp of the fruit. Although the aqueous extract obtained from the kiwifruit peel was able to hydrolyze semi-skimmed milk, it did not break down κ-casein...
