For an epidemiologic approach to the etiology of cerebrovascular disease by comparing with that of arteriosclerotic and degenerative heart diseases, the latest regional data for mortality from those diseases were collected from most European countries in 1964. The peculiar gradient of the mortality rate distribution in the respective countries is interpreted by physicochemical factors of natura...

For a bioremediation process to be effective, we suggest to perform preliminary studies in laboratory to describe and characterize physicochemical and biological parameters (type and concentration of nutrients, type and number of microorganisms, temperature) of the environment concerned. We consider that these studies should be done by taking into account the simultaneous interaction between di...

As the people have been suffering from many CNS disorders like Multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease many drugs have been developed but they failed in showing the concentration required for action. But nose to brain drug delivery the drug directly enter into the brain. The objective of this review is to provide overview of nose on an physiological, anatomical and, barrier...

The purposes of this study were to investigate the impacts of concentration levels of whey protein isolate (WPI) and inulin on the formation and physicochemical properties of WPI/inulin nano complexes and to evaluate their potential prebiotic effects. WPI/inulin nano complexes were produced using the internal gelation method. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and particle size analyzer wer...

The complex structure of human skin and its physicochemical properties turn it into an efficient outermost defence line against exogenous factors, and help maintain homeostasis of the human body. This role is played by the epidermal barrier with its major part - stratum corneum. The condition of the epidermal barrier depends on individual and environmental factors. The most important biophysica...

Previous studies from this laboratory have described some of the physical (l), chemical (2, 3), and immunological (4) properties of the soybean hemagglutinin (SBH)l which is responsible in part for the poor nutritive value of unheated soybean meal (5). Since the destruction of this protein has obvious practical implications in the field of animal nutrition, a comprehensive study has been made o...

In the food industry microbial contamination of surfaces can result in product spoilage which may lead to potential health problems of the consumer. Surface properties can have a substantial effect on microbial retention. The surface characteristics of chemically different coatings (Cu, Ti, Mo, Ag, Fe) were defined using white light profilometry (micro-topography and surface features), atomic f...
