Effect of Gabapentin Administered With Prednisolone, Ciclosporin or a Placebo on Clinical Outcomes and Motor Activity in Cats With Atopic Skin Syndrome: A Prospective, Blinded, Placebo‐Controlled Study

Veterinary Dermatology, Volume 36, Issue 6, Page 814-824, December 2025.
Background: Gabapentin reportedly decreases central sensitisation, a disorder associated with chronic pruritus in humans, although this is not well documented in cats. Its combined use with the standard antipruritic therapy for feline atopic skin syndrome (FASS) is not yet described.

Recombinant Expression and Bioprocess Optimization of Priestia megaterium α‐Amylase and Its Impact on Dough Fermentation Efficiency

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 22, Issue 11, November 2025.
This study presents a scalable strategy for producing Priestia megaterium α‐amylase (PmAmy) via fed‐batch fermentation, optimizing the biomass/IPTG ratio to enhance yield. With an activity of 67.7 U mL−1 at 22.3 g L−1 biomass, PmAmy demonstrated 99% efficiency in dough fermentation, highlighting its industrial potential as a sustainable baking enzyme .

Effect of Thermal Treatment on Nutritional and Physicochemical Properties of Sweet Pumpkin Flour and its Impact on Resistant Starch and Sensory Quality of Muffins and Noodles

Journal of Food Science, Volume 90, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to investigate the effects of oven baking (180°C for 40 min), microwaving (8 min), and steaming (20 min) on the physicochemical properties, β‐carotene content, and in vitro digestibility of sweet pumpkin flours, along with the sensory profiles of muffins and noodles prepared with the treated flours.

α-Amylase Activity and Soluble Sugar Supply from Endosperm in Relation to Varietal Differences in Seedling Establishment under Low-Temperature Conditions in Rice (Oryza sativa L.)

Plant Production Science, 2010
We examined 𰂱-amylase(EC 3.2.1.1) activity in endosperm in 6 varieties of rice (Oryza sativa L.), which showed different seedling establishment traits in field experiments, using seedlings grown in sterilized agar-bed at 16ºC.

Derivation of a health‐based guidance value for Δ8‐tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ8‐THC) and its occurrence in food

EFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the derivation of a health‐based guidance value (HBGV) for Δ8‐tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ8‐THC) in food with an assessment of the occurrence of Δ8‐THC and the co‐occurrence with Δ9‐THC in hemp and hemp‐derived products.
