Interview with Dr. Sok Cheon Pak. Dr Pak as a physiologist currently leads and guides research into nutraceuticals to provide relevant and impactful clinical applications. The best example is the rice bran arabinoxylan compound (RBAC). RBAC is a functional food produced from hydrolysed rice bran denatured with shiitake mushroom enzymes. RBAC demonstrates strong immunomodulatory properties, particularly for enhancing the natural killer cell activity. Additionally, RBAC is a potent antiproliferative food supplement w [...]

Minas Gerais is the leading milk-producing state in Brazil, and many dairy activities are supplied with electricity by the cable aerial network of the electrical energy state company. Given that the Brazilian energy matrix relies primarily on hydroelectric power, studies on the potential of other renewable energy sources in the context of dairy farms are innovative. Additionally, frequent disturbances and interruptions have motivated the installation of solar energy systems on dairy farms. However, the scarcity of [...]

The World climate is changing, with a great impact on global food production systems. Extreme weather events, floods, wildfires and draughts are phenomena of disrupted previously stable natural weather patterns, which are vital for crop production and animal husbandry alike. Most of the World’s food is produced in temperate climatic zones rich in arable land and those are affected by the increasing unpredictability of previously naturally occurring seasons and weather conditions. This work aims to provide a possibl [...]

Knobloch Syndrome (KS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by ocular abnormalities and central nervous system (CNS) defects, which are attributed to collagenopathy. The primary gene implicated in KS is COL18A1, which encodes the alpha chain of type XVIII collagen. This type of collagen functions as a proteoglycan, predominantly located in the basement membrane of human tissues. This study examined an Iranian female presenting with symptoms of horizontal nystagmus, strabismus, and suspected vision loss, with a [...]

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of sources. locations and seasons (late summer and winter) on the chemical composition of cow milk collected from Khartoum State. The samples were collected randomly in the morning or the evening. Two hundred and seventy milk samples were collected from farms (90 samples), groceries (90 samples) and vendors (90 samples) in Khartoum State during the late summer and winter seasons, 135 samples each. The milk samples were kept in cool cracked ice and transported immed [...]

Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a lethal and aggressive cancer due to exposure to asbestos since this carcinogen is still being used in industrial buildings and housing in several countries. Untreated MPM has a median survival time of 12 months, and most people die within 24 months after diagnosis. If caught early, surgery may be performed. Treatment option for palliative care is limited using platinum with pemetrexed. Malignant transformation of a cell is attributed to a series of genetic and epigenetic ev [...]
