Background: 85% of women delivering vaginally experience perineal trauma, and almost two-thirds require tear repair [1]. Although chromic catgut is used as standard suture, newer materials like Polyglactin 910 question the best available properties [2]. Methods: This prospective, comparative study was conducted in Shri BM Patil Medical College, Karnataka from November 2019 to 2020. 200 divided ...

[1] New images from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera show the distribution and geological relations of the Sculptured Hills, a geological unit widespread in the highlands between the Serenitatis and Crisium basins. The Sculptured Hills shows knobby, undulating, radially textured, and plains-like morphologies and in many places is indistinguishable from the similarly knobby Alpes Formatio...

Abstract Background The degree to which storage conditions and duration affect phytase activity inositol phosphates (InsP) was evaluated in wheat. Three wheat cultivars were stored as whole or ground kernels at 20, 7, −18°C for 13, 48, 118, 188, 265, 349 days. Samples analyzed InsP 3‐6 concentration activity. Results 6 of −18 7°C did not differ from that time point 0. Storage 20°C significantly...

The enterococcal bacteriocin (enterocin) AS-48 is a broad-spectrum cyclic peptide. Enterocin AS-48 was tested against Bacillus coagulans in three vegetable canned foods: tomato paste (pH 4.64), syrup from canned peaches (pH 3.97), and juice from canned pineapple (pH 3.65). When vegetative cells of B. coagulans CECT (Spanish Type Culture Collection) 12 were inoculated in tomato paste supplemente...

We explored here the hypothesis that temporary chronic water restriction in mice affects social behavior, via its action on density of 5-HT neurons dorsal and median raphe nuclei (DRN MRN). For that, we submitted adult C57BL/6 J to mild controlled dehydration, i.e., 6 h access every 48 for 15 days. investigated their behavior a interaction task known allow free reciprocal contact. Results showe...

OBJECTIVE Hydroxyl (OH-) and calcium (Ca++) ion release was evaluated in six materials: G1) Sealer 26, G2) White mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), G3) Epiphany, G4) Epiphany + 10% calcium hydroxide (CH), G5) Epiphany + 20% CH, and G6) zinc oxide and eugenol. MATERIAL AND METHODS Specimens were placed in polyethylene tubes and immersed in distilled water. After 3, 6, 12, 24, and 48 h, 7, 14, a...

Antenatal corticosteroids (ACS) are part of the standard care for women at risk premature birth to reduce adverse neonatal outcome. Neonatal benefits optimized when ACS administered 2-7 days before delivery. Less is known about a shorter administration-to-birth interval less than 48 hours. We assessed association between short Corticosteroid Administration-to-Birth Interval and A retrospective ...

Objectives: The increase in carbapenemase-producing organism (CPO) transmission among hospitalized patients is a growing concern. Studies investigating the of CPO to epidemiologically linked contacts are scarce. We conducted an interim subgroup analysis ongoing multicenter household Singapore (CaPES-C) study identify acquisition rate patients. Methods: This prospective cohort was between Januar...
