Nutritional and Functional Enhancements in Coloured Sorghum Cultivars Through Popping: Impact on Bioactive Compounds and Antinutritional Factors by Anerao Kishor K., Gadhe Kailash. S., Gaikwad Snehal S., Mane Rushikesh. P., Gangakhedkar Prasad S.

“…Furthermore, popping significantly reduced ANFs, with tannins decreasing from 0.30–0.34 mg/100 g to 0.08–0.13 mg/100 g and phytic acid levels dropping from 8.80 mg/100 g to 6.16 mg/100 g. These reductions improve the bioavailability of essential micronutrients, making popped sorghum a more nutritionally accessible and functional ingredient for its exploration into different Value-added food applications. …”

Oxygen Concentration Plays a Critical Role in Fibrinogen-Mediated Platelet Activation via Inactivation of α_IIbβ₃ and Modulation of Fibrinogen by Sophie V. L. Leonard, Zoe Booth, Leigh Naylor-Adamson, Lewis Bibby, Katie S. Wraith, Giordano Pula, Monica Arman, Simon D. J. Calaminus

“…Importantly, the addition of thrombin or zinc restored full platelet spreading on fibrinogen, indicating that the inhibition of platelet spreading on fibrinogen was due to defective integrin activation. Analysis of integrin activation with FACs via PAC-1 staining supported a significant reduction in integrin activation in hypoxic conditions. …”

Decreased PECAM-1 May be a potential pathological factor for vascular injury in T2DM patients by Jun-Jun Xu, Han-Zhen Cai, Han Sun, Xiang Chen, Xia-Ming Cai

“…GSE26168 data of T2DM blood mRNA showed that the levels of the PECAM-1 gene transcription factors CREB3, GATAD1 and TEAD3 were significantly reduced, while CUX1 and RELA were significantly increased in T2DM patients. Functional enrichment analysis of PPI, GO and KEGG suggested that PECAM-1 was involved in regulation of vascular stability, endothelial function, and angiogenesis. …”

Functional outcomes and efficiency of rehabilitation in a national cohort of patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome and other inflammatory polyneuropathies. by Roxana Alexandrescu, Richard John Siegert, Lynne Turner-Stokes

“…Significant differences were seen between the diagnostic groups on admission, but all showed significant improvements between admission and discharge, in both motor and cognitive function (p<0.0001). Patients who were highly dependent on admission had the longest lengths of stay (mean 97.0 (SD 79.0) days), but also showed the greatest reduction in on-going care costs (£1049 per week (SD £994)), so that overall they were the most cost-efficient to treat.…”
