Low quality pork can possess unacceptable characteristics known as PSE. This condition is evidenced by a very light gray color. Furthermore, the muscle is very soft in texture and lacks the ability to hold water. Thus, the appearance of PSE pork reveals a very light color with soft appearance and separation between muscles with exudate (drip, purge, or moisture loss from the muscle) that ranges...

BACKGROUND Pistia stratiotes has been used effectively to treat a number of inflammatory conditions. This study aims to determine the antiarthritic effect of aqueous and ethanolic leaf extracts of P. stratiotes. METHODS Arthritis was induced in Sprague-Dawley rats, paw swelling was measured, and arthritis indices were estimated in rats treated with aqueous and ethanolic leaf extracts of P. st...

AIMS 'Functional foods' supplemented with plant sterol esters (PSE) and plant stanol esters (PSA) are therapeutic options for the management of hypercholesterolaemia. However, their effects on blood monocytes, endothelial function, atherogenesis, and sterol tissue concentrations are poorly understood. METHODS AND RESULTS Male apoE-/- mice (n= 30) were randomized to three different diets for 6...

In this paper we obtain some equivalent conditions for strongly equiprime Γ− near rings N and the strongly equiprime radical Pse (N) coincides with Pse (L) where Pse (L) is the strongly equiprime radical of left operator near-ring L of N.

5.1 ABSTRACT A randomized complete block design with five treatments (100% pale, soft, and exudative (PSE), 100% PSE + 1.5% collagen (TC), 100% PSE + 0.30% kappa/iota carrageenan (CG), 100% PSE + 1.5% soy protein concentrate (SPC), and 100% normal) and six replications was utilized to test the effects of raw material, turkey collagen, soy protein concentrate, and carrageenan on protein function...

AIM To determine the outcomes of partial splenic embolization (PSE) for massive splenomegaly due to idiopathic portal hypertension (IPH). METHODS In this prospective study, we evaluated the characteristics and prognosis of consecutive patients with IPH who underwent PSE for all indications at a single medical center between June 2009 and January 2015. The inclusion criteria were: presence of ...

The present State Examination (PSE) schedule is a widely used instrument to record mental status of adult neurotic and functional psychotic patients. It has 140 items based in a semi-structured interview. Each item is rated on ordinal scale. Ratings are based on clinical judgement for which comprehensive glossary is provided. PSE has been used in several international collaborative studies whic...

A PSE toolkit is a group of technologies within a software architecture through which multiple PSEs can be built for different application domains. The effective use of a PSE toolkit requires the management of the heterogeneity of the involved resources that can include computers, data, network facilities, sensors, and software tools provided by different organizations. A distributed implementa...

3.1 ABSTRACT A randomized complete block design with four treatments (100% pale, soft, and exudative (PSE), 100% PSE + 1.5% chicken collagen, 100% normal, and 100% normal + 1.5% chicken collagen) and six replications was utilized to test the effects of raw material and chicken collagen on protein functionality in the formulation of chunked and formed broiler breast. Addition of 1.5 % chicken co...
