A recent study conducted at the University of Extremadura in Caceres, Spain, focused on identifying changes in the endometrial proteome in mares with bacterial endometritis (BE) to potentially develop uterine biomarkers for this condition. The research aimed to uncover the molecular mechanisms involved in equine endometritis and pinpoint proteins with biomarker potential for diagnosis and treatment. The study identified 38 proteins that were differentially abundant in mares with endometritis compared to healthy mares, with some proteins related to the innate immune system and antimicrobial peptides. The findings suggest potential alternative treatments to antibiotics for BE in mares. [Extracted from the article]

A recent study conducted by the University of Extremadura in Spain examined the gastrointestinal fate of proteins from commercial plant-based meat analogs, such as seitan and tofu, in comparison to cooked beef in Wistar rats. The research found that diets based on plant-based meat analogs had lower protein digestibility, promoted oxidative stress and inflammation in the intestines, and led to the formation of potentially harmful metabolites in the colon. The study suggests the need for further research, particularly in human studies, to better understand the implications of replacing meat with certain plant-based meat analogs in the diet.

A recent study conducted at the Jesus Uson Minimally Invasive Surgery Centre in Caceres, Spain, aimed to predict stress levels in surgeons during minimally invasive robotic surgery using artificial intelligence. The study collected data on ergonomic and physiological parameters from twenty-six surgical sessions completed by eleven surgeons with varying levels of experience. Multiple linear regression, support vector machine, and multilayer perceptron techniques were applied to generate predictive models, which were then validated. The results showed that the linear models successfully predicted stress levels and demonstrated the potential to improve the health of surgeons during robotic surgery. [Extracted from the article]

A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Extremadura in Spain aimed to develop a test to assess motor creativity in individuals with fibromyalgia. The study included 13 women with fibromyalgia and 13 healthy women, and evaluated factors such as cognitive impairment, sleep quality, pain, quality of life, physical activity level, fear of falling, and the impact of fibromyalgia. The researchers used the Motor Creativity Assessment (MCA), a test that does not require the use of objects, to objectively score motor creativity. EEG and heart rate variability signals were recorded using the Enobio instrument and Neuroelectrics instrument driver software. The study contributes to the understanding of fibromyalgia and may help in monitoring interventions for patients. [Extracted from the article]

A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Extremadura in Caceres, Spain, has found that pomegranate supplementation may alleviate dyslipidemia and the onset of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in Wistar rats. The study aimed to understand the molecular mechanisms associated with fructose intake and the effects of a punicalagin-rich pomegranate dietary supplement on fructose-induced metabolic impairments. The results showed that pomegranate supplementation decreased fat depots, improved markers of liver injury, and counteracted dyslipidemia caused by fructose consumption. The study also suggested that microbial metabolites from pomegranate may be responsible for these health benefits. [Extracted from the article]

A recent study conducted by the University of Extremadura in Caceres, Spain, has found that postbiotics of Lacticaseibacillus paracasei and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum can have a negative effect on calcium influx in colorectal adenocarcinoma cell lines. The study showed that these postbiotics attenuate store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) and impair in vitro migration of cancer cells. The researchers suggest that this finding could provide a potential strategy for treating colorectal cancer. The study was supported by various organizations including the Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovacion and Junta de Extremadura. [Extracted from the article]

A study conducted by researchers at the University of Extremadura in Caceres, Spain, explored the association between vitamin D receptor (VDR) polymorphisms and Parkinson's disease (PD) in a Spanish cohort. The study found that while ApaI, TaqI, and FokI polymorphisms were not associated with PD, the BsmI polymorphism was significantly associated with PD in the Spanish cohort. The BsmI genotype was five times higher among PD patients compared to healthy controls, and the A allele was considered a genetic risk for PD. The combination of FokI and BsmI polymorphisms was also significantly associated with PD and could represent a risk factor. The study suggests that VDR polymorphisms, particularly BsmI, may play a role in the development of PD in this population. [Extracted from the article]

A study conducted by the University of Extremadura in Caceres, Spain, aimed to understand the influence of motivation and the perceived requirements of the next match on the mental fatigue experienced by soccer players over a season. The study involved 26 semi-professional Spanish male players and found that motivation had a negative influence on perceived mental fatigue, while the perceived difficulty of the next match had a positive influence. The study also found that mental fatigue levels decreased as the season progressed. The researchers recommended that coaches consider using motivating training tasks when players perceive higher next-match requirements and be cautious of avoidance strategies for mental fatigue, particularly at the beginning of the season.

A study conducted by the University of Extremadura in Caceres, Spain, has investigated the antifungal effects of autochthonous Staphylococcus bacteria on Aspergillus westerdijkiae, a fungus known for producing ochratoxin A (OTA) in dry-cured ham. The researchers found that Staphylococcus xylosus FHSCC Sx8 was able to reduce the growth of A. westerdijkiae and decrease OTA production in dry-cured ham. The study also observed changes in proteins related to cell wall integrity, secondary metabolite production, and carbohydrate metabolism. This research provides insights into the potential use of biocontrol agents to reduce OTA contamination in food products. [Extracted from the article]

A recent study conducted by researchers from the University of Extremadura in Spain explored the use of a mobile application called LactApp to support breastfeeding. The study involved 270 women who were randomly assigned to either the intervention group, which received access to the mobile app, or the control group, which received standard care. The results showed that while the app did not increase the overall breastfeeding rate compared to standard care, it did slightly reduce breastfeeding abandonment in the first two weeks postpartum. The researchers concluded that further studies are needed to explore how technology can improve long-term breastfeeding maintenance. [Extracted from the article]
