Nannochloropsis is a genus of unicellular eukaryotes known primarily from the marine environment whose members are potential sources lipids and long‐chain polyunsaturated fatty acids; for extraction these other valuable cell components, disruption needed. High pressure homogenization (HPH) would be particularly suitable microalgae with recalcitrant wall such as . HPH conditions should determined based on both target component properties suspension that in some cases dependent age culture....
Chia seed mucilage (CM), flaxseed (FM), and inulin (INL) were used as encapsulating agents to evaluate the possibility of increasing survival Lactobacillus casei var. rhamnosus, renamed recently Lacticaseibacillus after spray drying. Moreover, viability encapsulated L. rhamnosus was determined during 250 day storage period at 4 °C. In a second stage, conditions that maximized evaluated on other probiotic bacteria (Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, Bifidobacterium infantis, longum)....
There is increasing evidence supporting the effectiveness of scalable mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) interventions delivered by non-specialists for improving wellbeing among migrant populations in humanitarian settings. Balancing fidelity implementation evidence-based MHPSS with their fit to needs preferences new contexts remains a challenge when introducing This paper describes community-based participatory approach intervention design incorporating processes promote local...
We evaluated the anti-steatotic effects of n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids plus extra virgin olive oil in liver mice fed a high fat diet.
Abstract Background Community- and strengths-based psychosocial interventions are central to mental health support guidelines, but rigorous evidence regarding the effectiveness of these is limited. The complexity variability that inherent many community-based requires innovative strategies in order facilitate comparability synthesis across research studies without compromising fit appropriateness specific study populations context. Entre Nosotras a intervention developed for migrant host...
Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) is a well-known technique for polymer analysis, particularly determining the molecular weight and structural details of dendrimers. In this study, we evaluated performance various matrices, such as 2′,4′,6′-trihydroxyacetophenone (THAP), α-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (HCCA), sinapinic (SA), their combinations, on sensitivity resolution poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers different generations (G3.0,...
Background/Objectives: Oral mucositis (OM) is a common and debilitating side effect of cancer therapy, characterized by ulceration or inflammation the oral mucosa. This study evaluates preclinical efficacy curcumin-loaded bicosome systems (cur-BS) in mitigating chemotherapy-induced OM mice. Methods: BS were prepared using combination 1,2-di-palmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) 1,2-dihexanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DHPC), α-tocopherol, curcumin, encapsulated within liposomal...
Abstract Community-based psychosocial interventions are key elements of mental health and support; yet evidence regarding their effectiveness implementation in humanitarian settings is limited. This study aimed to assess the appropriateness, acceptability, feasibility safety conducting a cluster randomized trial evaluating two versions group intervention. Nine community clusters Ecuador Panamá were receive standard version Entre Nosotras intervention, community-based intervention co-designed...
Abstract Thraustochytrids have been isolated from different aquatic systems; however, few studies reported their occurrence in Antarctica. In this study, 13 strains close to belonging the genera Oblongichytrium , Thraustochytrium, and Aurantiochytrium were seawater samples collected near Antarctic Base Professor Julio Escudero (S 62°12′57′ E 58°57′35″). Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) was found total lipids of all isolates; DHA content biomass (dry weight) varied between 3.3 33 mg/g under growth...
Respiratory diseases are associated with pulmonary oxidative stress and inflammatory processes. Though studies in animal models suggest that dietary polyphenols improve lung injury, no intervention were carried out humans. The aim of this study was to determine whether the intake an anthocyanin-rich maqui extract improved H2O2 IL-6 concentrations exhaled breath condensates (EBCs) from asymptomatic smokers.15 smokers mild cigarette smoking (3 pack-year [2.4 - 7.7]) (mean [CI95%]) recruited...
A novel co-encapsulation system called bicosomes (bicelles within liposomes) has been developed to overcome the limitations associated with topical application of curcumin (cur) and α-tocopherol (α-toc). The physicochemical properties biological activity in vitro bicosome systems were evaluated. Bicelles prepared DPPC, DHPC, cur, α-toc (cur/α-toc-bicelles). Liposomal vesicles loading cur/α-toc-bicelles Lipoid P-100 cholesterol-forming cur/α-toc-bicosomes. Three cur/α-toc-bicosomes evaluated...
As evidence supporting the effectiveness of mental health and psychosocial interventions grows, more research is needed to understand optimal strategies for improving their implementation in diverse contexts. We conducted a qualitative process evaluation multicomponent intervention intended promote well-being among refugee, migrant host community women three contexts Ecuador Panamá. The objective this study describe relationships determinants, outcomes community-based intervention. five used...
Poverty is a key social determinant of mental health among forcibly displaced persons. This study aimed to design and pilot test strategy integrate existing economic inclusion interventions for families in Ecuador. We conducted series qualitative interviews (n = 30), focus groups 6), workshops 3) develop set strategies integrating cross-cutting focused psychosocial support (MHPSS) into an program Quito. non-randomly assigned two field offices Quito (1) on improving outcomes or (2) both those...
