Abstract Background C-reactive protein (CRP) is a non-specific acute phase reactant elevated in infection or inflammation. Higher levels indicate more severe and have been used as an indicator of COVID-19 disease severity. However, the evidence for CRP prognostic marker yet to be determined. The aim this study examine response patients hospitalized with determine utility on admission predicting inpatient mortality. Methods Data were collected between 27 February 10 June 2020, incorporating...
Summary The aim of this study was to determine the effects extrusion processing variables on antioxidant activity (AA), total phenolic content (TP) and β‐glucan (BG) extrudates. Products were prepared by cooking barley flour, flour–tomato pomace flour–grape blends. Antioxidant as measured DPPH method 43.17 ± 0.362, 27.57 0.120 82.23 0.785% while TPs, expressed ferulic acid equivalents, 5.29 0.126, 4.66 0.023 9.15 0.015 mg g −1 dry sample in extracts obtained from tomato grape pomaces,...
frail patients in any age group are more likely to die than those that not frail. We aimed evaluate the impact of frailty on clinical mortality, readmission rate and length stay for emergency surgical all ages. a multi-centre prospective cohort study was conducted adult admissions acute units. Every patient presenting as secondary care, regardless whether they ultimately underwent procedure included. The carried out during 2015 2016. Frailty defined using 7-point Clinical Scale. primary...
Barley flour and barley flour-pomace (tomato, grape) blends were extruded through a co-rotating twin-screw extruder. The aim of the present study was to investigate effects die temperature, screw speed, pomace level on water absorption index (WAI), solubility (WSI), degree starch gelatinization, in vitro digestibility using response surface methodology. selected extrudate samples examined further differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) polarized light microscopy, respectively. WAI...
Abstract The work includes development of a multiphase porous media model and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) experiments to study microwave combination heating. Combination electromagnetic, convective radiant heating was considered. material being heated modeled as hygroscopic medium with different phases: solid matrix, water gas, included pressure driven flow, binary diffusion phase change. three‐dimensional transport fully coupled electromagnetics include the effect variable properties....
Objectives Multimorbidity is the presence of 2 or more medical conditions. This increasingly used assessment has not been assessed in a surgical population. The objectives this study were to assess prevalence multimorbidity and its association with common outcome measures. Design A cross-sectional observational study. Setting UK-based multicentre study, included participants between July October 2014. Participants Consecutive emergency (non-elective) general patients admitted hospital, aged...
The effect of adding milk solids nonfat (MSNF) on the physical properties and microstructure yogurts was investigated. fat free yogurt, with MSNF whole yogurt were analyzed using shear viscosity, viscoelasticity, texture analysis. two had higher consistency coefficient (K), storage modulus (G′), yield stress, hardness. To gain insight into multiphase system, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) brightfield microscope images acquired. addition significantly modified NMR relaxation time; T1 values...
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection causes acute lung injury, resulting from aggressive inflammation initiated by viral replication. There has been much speculation about the potential role of non-steroidal inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which increase expression angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), a binding target for severe respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) to enter host cell, could lead poorer outcomes in COVID-19 disease. The aim this study was examine association...
There are few good surgical options that allow for continued spinal growth in patients with early-onset scoliosis. The "Shilla" is a guidance system does not require repeated lengthenings. Shilla guides at the ends of dual rods apex curve corrected, fused, and fixed to rods. occurs through extraperiosteally implanted pedicle screws slide along either end construct. We 11 2-month-old immature goats rod euthanized all 6 months postoperatively. evaluated plain radiographs, regular computed...
Abstract Aim The study assessed the efficacy of laparoscopic ventral mesh rectopexy ( LVMR ) for full thickness external rectal prolapse ERP ), including recurrent prolapse. Method A prospective database identified all patients undergoing over 16‐year period to December 2013. Clinical outcome, Cleveland Clinic Incontinence Score CCIS quality life QOL and patient‐reported outcome were evaluated. Results In total, 190 s (87% women) performed during period, with a median active follow‐up 29...
Background Cerebral venous thrombosis is a rare cause of stroke that poses diagnostic, therapeutic, and prognostic challenges. Mainstay treatment systemic anticoagulation, but endovascular increasingly advocated. Our objectives were to describe the epidemiology, treatment, prognosis 152 patients with cerebral thrombosis. Methods Results This was retrospective study consecutive cases from 2006 2013 at comprehensive center through hospital discharge. Predictors full recovery (modified Rankin...
