Starch is the main carbohydrate in human nutrition. Starch digestibility can vary from a rapid digestion to indigestibility. Therefore, postprandial glycaemic control in type 2 diabetics is of great interest in the context of worldwide health concerns. Although powerful synthetic inhibitors of starc...

Abstract The safe, highly effective measles vaccine has been recommended globally since 1974, yet in 2017 there were more than 17 million cases of measles and 83,400 deaths in children under 5 years old, and more than 99% of both occurred in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) 1–4 . Globally co...

Approximately 15–18% of crops losses occur as a result of animal pests, while weeds and microbial diseases cause 34 and 16% losses, respectively. Fungal pathogens cause about 70–80% losses in yield. The present strategies for plant disease control depend transcendently on agrochemicals that cause ne...

A double burden of malnutrition occurs when individuals, household members or communities experience both undernutrition and overweight. Here, we show geospatial estimates of overweight and wasting prevalence among children under 5 years of age in 105 low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) from 20...

Musculoskeletal (MSK) health impairments contribute substantially to the pain and disability burden in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), yet health systems strengthening (HSS) responses are nascent in these settings. We aimed to explore the contemporary context, framed as challenges and oppo...

This study was conducted to investigate the proline (Pro) and betaine (Bet) driven modulation of glutathione S-transferase (GST) and glyoxalase I (Gly I) in drought stressed lentil seedlings. Among the seven lentil varieties tested, BARI mosur 2 was found have higher activities of GST and Gly 1 whic...

Abstract South Asians develop type 2 diabetes (T2D) early in life and often with normal body mass index (BMI). However, reasons for this are poorly understood because genetic research is largely focused on European ancestry groups. We used recently derived multi-ancestry partitioned polygenic scores...

The nonlinear propagation of an external magnetic-field-aligned circularly polarized electromagnetic wave in electron-positron plasma is investigated. Relativistic and the time-derivative ponderomotive nonlinearities are considered. A new kind of envelope soliton in the magnetoactive plasma is obtai...
