Effect of the addition of yacon flour (Smallanthus sonchifolius) and freezing on baking performance

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius), a tuber rich in fructans, presents potential for application in breadmaking due to its nutritional properties and cryoprotectant activity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incorporation of yacon flour in bread formulations (50 g/kg and 100 g/kg on flour mixture basis) and its impact on ...

Modifications and Improvements on Iris Recognition.

open access: yes, 2009
Iris recognition is a well-known biometric technique. John Daugman has proposed a method for iris recogni tion, which is divided into four steps: segmentation, normalization, feature extraction and matching. In this paper, we evaluate, modify and extend John Daugman’s method.

Effects on intrusive memories of playing Tetris with or without simultaneous and deliberate memory recall

open access: yesJournal of Traumatic Stress, EarlyView.
Abstract Two interventions that tax visuospatial working memory (WM) may reduce intrusive memories despite differing procedurally: playing Tetris with or without memory recall. Accordingly, this study examined how engagement with negative memories influences intrusion frequency (Experiment 1) and WM load (Experiment 2).

Beyond Skin and Eyes: The Medical and Social Burden of Oculocutaneous Albinism in Africa: A Narrative Review

open access: yesJEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) is a genetic disorder found worldwide, but its impact is particularly pronounced in the African continent. This results from both a higher prevalence and the persistent myths and superstitions surrounding the condition in many African communities.

METTL14 Ameliorates Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Autophagy in Lens Epithelial Cells of Diabetic Cataracts via m6A Modification of RPL3

open access: yesThe Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Diabetic cataracts are a leading cause of blindness, with lens epithelial cells (LECs) exhibiting mitochondrial dysfunction and autophagy inhibition under high glucose (HG) conditions. Methyltransferase‐like 14 (METTL14), an RNA methyltransferase, regulates N6‐methyladenosine (m6A) RNA modification; however, its role in modulating ...

Efficient and Tunable Narrowband Second‐Harmonic Generation by a Large‐Area Etchless Lithium Niobate Metasurface

open access: yesLaser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
An etchless lithium niobate (LN) metasurface with a slanted periodic TiO2 grating enables efficient and narrowband second‐harmonic generation (SHG) thanks to the light confinement in the LN film granted by quasi‐bound‐state‐in‐the‐continuum (q‐BIC) modes.

Clinical Progression in Alpha‐Synuclein Positive LRRK2‐PD and Sporadic Parkinson's Disease: A Longitudinal Analysis

open access: yesMovement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background LRRK2‐Parkinson's disease (LRRK2‐PD) is biologically heterogeneous with approximately 30% lacking aggregated alpha synuclein (αSyn) in cerebrospinal fluid by seed amplification assay (SAA). Prior work has suggested slower progression in LRRK2‐PD compared to sporadic PD (sPD).

Sex Differences in Fall Frequency, Risk Factors, and Outcomes in Parkinson's Disease: A Cross‐Sectional Analysis

open access: yesMovement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Female sex is an independent fall risk factor in Parkinson's disease (PD), yet sex‐specific fall patterns remain unclear. Objectives To compare sex‐specific fall risk and outcomes across PD, prodromal alpha‐synucleinopathy (PAS), and healthy controls (HC); estimate fall frequency across PD progression; and assess how sex modifies ...
