TYPE 3 RESISTANT STARCH FROM CANNA EDULIS REDUCE LIPID LEVELS IN PATIENTS WITH MILD HYPERLIPIDEMIA THROUGH ALTERING GUT MICROBIOME: A DOUBLE- BLIND RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL

Type 3 resistant starch from Canna edulis (Ce-RS3) is an insoluble dietary fiber which could improve blood lipids in animals, but clinically robust evidence is still lacking.We performed a double-blind randomized controlled trial to assess the effects of Ce-RS3 on lipids in mild hyperlipidemia.One hundred and fifteen patients were included followed

Pitch is a fundamental attribute of auditory perception.The interaction of concurrent pitches gives rise to a sensation that can be characterized by its degree of consonance or dissonance.In this work, we propose that human auditory cortex (AC) processes pitch and consonance through a common neural network mechanism operating at early cortical leve

The security of industrial control systems (ICS) remains a critical challenge for industry stakeholders and business owners who rely on these devices.Many legacy ICS systems still in operation today harbor numerous and severe security vulnerabilities.Shodan, a prominent online scanning tool, systematically scans the entire internet, typically on a

Discrete sine transform (DST) is widely used in digital signal processing such as image coding, spectral analysis, feature extraction, and filtering.This is because the discrete sine transform is close to the optimal Karhunen–Loeve transform for first-order Markov stationary signals with low correlation coefficients.Short-time (hopping) disc

Advancements in molecular biology have unveiled multiple breast cancer promoting pathways and potential therapeutic targets.Large randomized clinical trials remain the ultimate means of validating therapeutic efficacy, but they require large cohorts of patients and are lengthy and costly.A useful approach is to conduct a window of opportunity study
