ABSTRACT: : Edible chitosan coatings showed anti‐ Listeria monocytogenes effect evaluated by numeration and epifluorescence methods, imparting a strong localized functional at the food surface active packaging. The use of film‐forming solution in culture liquid medium known flocculant phenomenon combined with bactericidal activity, keeping 20% initial microbial charge as viable cells flocculant, which could develop subsequently. However, film 100% L. inhibition for least 8 d, completed...
Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a technique that can be used as noninvasive and continuous monitor of the balance between cerebral oxygen delivery consumption. The authors develop propose an algorithm for use NIRS based on optimizing factors affect supply/demand. These are position vascular cannula, perfusion pressure, arterial content, partial pressure carbon dioxide, haemoglobin, cardiac output, metabolic rate oxygen. Dissemination useful treatment primary purpose this article....
Cerebral oxygen desaturation during cardiac surgery has been associated with adverse perioperative outcomes. Before a large multicenter randomized controlled trial (RCT) on the impact of preventing desaturations outcomes, authors undertook prospective, parallel-arm, feasibility RCT to determine whether an intervention algorithm could prevent desaturations.Eight Canadian sites 201 patients between April 2012 and October 2013. The primary outcome was success rate reversing cerebral below 10%...
Intraoperative electroencephalogram (EEG) waveform suppression, suggesting excessive general anesthesia, has been associated with postoperative delirium.
ABSTRACT The inhibitory activity of chitosan‐based edible coatings was assessed against 2 food pathogens ( Staphylococcus aureus and Listeria monocytogenes ) 1 strain involved in alteration Pseudomonas aeruginosa on model agar medium a real cheese product. Colony counting epifluorescence microscopy methods were conducted, the results show nonsignificant influence components matrix protection microbial population chitosan activity. Numeration showed 100% inhibition development selected...
Pulmonary hypertension is an important prognostic factor in cardiac surgery associated with increased morbidity and mortality. With the aging population increase severity of illness, prevalence pulmonary surgical patients will increase. In this review, definition hypertension, mechanisms its relationship to right ventricular dysfunction be presented. Finally, pharmacological non-pharmacological therapeutic preventive approaches
Abstract Background Data on postoperative outcomes of the COVID-19 patient population is limited. We described patients who underwent a surgery and pandemic impact surgical activities. Methods conducted multicenter cohort study between March 13 June 192,020. included all in nine centres Province Québec, Canadian province most afflicted by pandemic. also concomitant suspected (subsequently confirmed not to have COVID-19) had recovered from it. collected data baseline characteristics,...
Botrytis cinerea and Neofusicoccum parvum are devastating fungal pathogens of grapevines. A total 46 bacterial strains isolated from grapevines were screened for their antagonistic activity toward B. cinerea, which causes gray mold, N. parvum, cankers, trunk diseases berry rot. In vivo screening using detached berries leaf discs in planta growing grapevine cuttings compared to select the most efficient biological control agents. On discs, effective strain, Bacillus ginsengihumi, exhibited...
Chitosan is a dietary fibre which acts by reducing fat absorption and thus used as means for controlling weight. Weight loss clinical trial outcomes, however, have contradictory results regarding its efficacy. The primary objective of the present study was to evaluate efficacy safety chitosan from fungal origin in treatment excess weight absence restrictions.A phase IV, randomised, multicentre, single-blind, placebo-controlled, conducted administering capsules (500 mg, five/day)...
Esca is a grapevine trunk disease (GTD) associated with different pathogenic fungi inhabiting the woody tissues. Bacteria can also be found in such tissues and they may interact these fungal colonizers. Although types of microbial interaction have been observed for wood diseases many trees, this has never studied grapevine. In study, bacterial microflora vine status (esca-symptomatic asymptomatic), anatomical part (trunk cordon) type (necrotic or not) studied. Based on Single Strand...
A central-to-radial arterial pressure gradient may occur after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), which, in some patients, last for a prolonged time CPB. Whenever there is gradient, the radial artery measure underestimate more centrally measured systemic pressure, which result misguided therapeutic strategy. It clinically important to identify risk factors that predict appearance of because central sites measurements might then be considered monitor high-risk patients. The objective this study...
