A symbiotic rice-based yogurt-like product (SRYP) using polymerized whey protein (PWP) as a gelation agent was developed. Rice milk optimized and prepared by soaking rice for 3 h at room temperature, heating 80°C 10 min then emulsified with 0.05% (w/v) lecithin. The finalized yogurt formulated 1% protein, prebiotic (inulin), soy oil, 7% sugar, 0.4% PWP 0.03% xanthan gum, fermented 43°C 3.5 0.01...

Elderly people are commonly affected by Parkinson's disease (PD) which is one of the most common neurodegenerative disorders due to the loss of dopamine-producing brain cells. People with PD's (PWP) may have difficulty in walking, talking or completing other simple tasks. Variety of medications is available to treat PD. Recently, researchers have found that voice signals recorded from the PWP i...

BACKGROUND In longitudinal studies where subjects experience recurrent incidents over a period of time, such as respiratory infections, fever or diarrhea, statistical methods are required to take into account the within-subject correlation. METHODS For repeated events data with censored failure, the independent increment (AG), marginal (WLW) and conditional (PWP) models are three multiple fai...

People living with Parkinson's disease engage in self-tracking as part of their health self-management. Whilst technologies designed for this group have primarily focused on improving the clinical assessments disease, less attention has been given to how people use technology track and manage everyday experience. We report a qualitative study which we systematically analysed posts from an onlin...

Finite element method (FEM) based analysis using the SEEP/W and SLOPE/W sub-programme options of a GEOSTUDIO software was used to analyze Saura-Keffi earth dam in Nasarawa State, Nigeria with view seepage its stability. The created geometry assigned material properties boundary conditions at reservoir water levels of: minimum (3 m), normal (6 m) maximum (7 m). conducted under cases that without...

The hemodynamic mechanism of blood pressure response to angiotensin blockade is well established in "benign" but not in human malignant hypertension. We studied the changes in mean arterial pressure (MAP), cardiac index (CI), pulmonary wedge pressure (PWP), and in plasma volume (PV) induced by a single oral dose of captopril (150 mg) in 11 patients with malignant hypertension. Two hours after c...
