Australian Hard 2 (AH2) wheat class with null4A genetic basis to produce high‐quality Japanese ramen noodle

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 4, Page 2211-2221, 15 March 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Australia exports wheat to various countries for the production of staple foods, including noodles. The Japanese market considers Australian Prime Hard (APH) wheat to be the benchmark for high‐quality ramen noodle production. We hypothesie that hard wheat with relatively low protein content and null4A gene is particularly well ...

Maize‐derived arabinoxylans modulate starch pasting, gel structure, and retrogradation

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 4, Page 2300-2310, 15 March 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Starch–fiber interactions play a paramount role in determining the functional quality and stability of starch‐based food products. This study systematically examined how maize arabinoxylans (MAX) influences the hydration, pasting, textural, and microstructural properties of maize starch gels.

Functionality and Appearance of Sorghum‐Pearl Millet Composite Flour Fortified With Oyster Mushroom for Thin Porridges

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study investigated the functionality, color, pasting and rheological properties of sorghum–pearl millet composite flour fortified with oyster mushroom. Fortification increased water, oil and swelling capacities, while decreasing pasting viscosities. The color lightness and yellowness improved with increasing oyster mushroom levels.

Long-term effectiveness of right septal pacing vs. right apical pacing in patients with atrioventricular block

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2012
Background: Long-term right ventricular apical (RVA) pacing increases the risk of heart failure (HF) by inducing ventricular dyssynchronization. Although recent studies suggest that right ventricular septal (RVS) pacing results in improved short-term ...

A Multimodal Ultrasound Approach Combining Transperineal and Transrectal Shear Wave Elastography for Early Prediction of Stress Urinary Incontinence in Women

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, Volume 45, Issue 3, Page 621-630, March 2026.
Objectives This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic value of a novel multimodal approach combining transperineal ultrasound (TPUS), transrectal dual‐plane ultrasound, and shear wave elastography (SWE) in predicting stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Methods A total of 70 women diagnosed with SUI and 110 healthy controls were included.
