This study of 148 Bulgarian children with mild intellectual disabilities investigated the incidence of various types of speech and language disorders in children with intellectual disabilities. A questionnaire was given to the parents and relatives of the children requiring information about the pupils' pre-, peri-, and early postnatal onthogenesis. The children also underwent a battery of diag...

application of edible coating as a way of prolonging the shelf-life of perishable fruits and vegetables is promising. two plum cultivars (stanley and giant) were treated with 1% chitosan and then stored at 0-1oc and relative humidity of 90±5% for 40 days. changes in weight loss, respiration rate, fruit firmness, soluble solid content, titrable acidity, ph, ascorbic acid as well as decay rate we...

sewage sludge with having the organic matter is considered as a source of micro and macro elements. in order to investigate the effect of different levels and period of application of sewage sludge (ss) on organic matter, respiration, and acid and alkaline phosphatase activity, factorial design were studied, in 3 replications. sewage sludge at five levels, (20 and 40 tons of sewage sludge, 20 a...

the effects of a nano-emulsion chitosan-based coating on enhancing the shelf-life and quality of golab kohanz apples were studied. the nano-emulsion coating containing chitosan with a concentration of 2000 ppm was applied for coating of golab kohanz apples. coated and uncoated apples were packed in normal packaging cardboards and kept at 2 ± 1 °c with a relative humidity within 80-85%. flesh fi...

Carrot is one of the most important horticultural crops, with an annual worldwide production exceeding 40 million tonnes. Carrots are sold either fresh intact or fresh-cut as minimally processed vegetables (MPV). In postharvest supply chain, physiological disorders, fungal decay, and their combinations reduce quality MPV carrots. carrots more susceptible to changes than due a higher loss protec...

Objective(s): To understand the role of mitochondrial respiration in cisplatin sensitivity, we have employed wild-type and mitochondrial DNA depleted Rho0 yeast cells. Materials and Methods: Wild type and Rho0 yeast cultured in fermentable and non-fermentable sugar containing media, were studied for their sensitivity against cisplatin by monitoring growth curves, oxygen consumption, pH changes ...

Background Although both methods of spontaneous respiration and controlled ventilation during anesthesia are safe and effective for managing children with foreign body aspiration, there is no consensus from the literature as to which technique is optimal. This study aimed to determine the outcomes of anesthetic techniques in pediatric rigid bronchoscopy for foreign body removal. Materials and M...
