INTRODUCTION Evidence for the effect of post-operative abdominal binders on post-operative pain, seroma formation, physical function, pulmonary function and increased intra-abdominal pressure among patients after surgery remains largely un-investigated. METHODS A systematic review was conducted. The PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane databases were searched for studies on the use of abdominal binder...

A meta-analysis was carried out to study the association of mycotoxins with performance, productive indices, and organ weights in broilers. Ninety-eight papers published between 1980 and 2009 were used, totaling 1,401 diets and 37,371 animals. Meta-analysis followed 3 sequential analyses: graphical, correlation, and variance-covariance. The mycotoxin presence in diets reduced (P < 0.05) feed in...

silica refractory bricks are used especially in the metallurgical industries, due to desirable properties suchas high melting point, rigidity, and high temperatures strength. in this research, different amount of sicwere added to silica refractory containing different binders such as borax, boric acid, calcium nitride,sodium tri poly phosphate, sodium hexa meta phosphate (shmp) and lime. physic...

The influence of the preparation method of NiAl2O4 binders on their thermal stability was studied. For this purpose, the reactivity of two different NiAl2O4 binders with CO as fuel was studied in a fixed bed reactor device. Successive oxidation-reduction cycles were performed 25

Mycotoxins are secondary fungal metabolites that may have mutagenic, carcinogenic, cytotoxic and endocrine disrupting effects. These substances frequently contaminate agricultural commodities despite efforts to prevent them, so successful detoxification tools are needed. The application of microorganisms to biodegrade mycotoxins is a novel strategy that shows potential for application in food a...

Fungi belonging to Fusarium genus can infect crops in the field and cause subsequent mycotoxin contamination, which leads to yield and quality losses of agricultural commodities. The mycotoxin zearalenone (ZEN) produced by several Fusarium species (such as F. graminearum and F. culmorum) is a commonly-detected contaminant in foodstuffs, posing a tremendous risk to food safety. Thus, different s...

Mycotoxins are relatively small molecules characterized by a diversity of chemical structure and a diversity of biological activity. They are often genotypically specific for a group of species, but the same compound can also be formed by fungi belonging to different genera. Most of the mycotoxins known have been recognized as metabolic products of Aspergillus, Penicillium and Fusarium species....
