the aim of this study was investigation of the effects of pretreatments (hot water blanching and chemical treatments) by hot air and sun drying methods on mass transfer kinetics during red chili pepper rehydration phenomenon. for these purposes fick's second law and peleg model were applied for modeling of red chili pepper rehydration phenomenon. the results revealed that, peleg model coul...

DNA and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) have been used to prepare gel particles for controlled release studies. This article reports on the release of DNA and CTAB in four different solutions: in sodium bromide, in strong acid, pH 2 and pH 9 solutions for salmon testes DNA-CTAB gel particles. Also, compares results at extreme acid media and 10 mM NaBr solution with higher molecular weight...

METHODS We conducted two cross-sectional surveys: 1) maternal, newborn, and child health household survey including1601 caregivers of children younger than two years; 2) healt...

l. The basal fluid and caloric intakes of Meriones unguiculatus were studied under conditions of ad lib. fresh water, progressively higher concentrations of NaCl, water deprivation, and rehydration. 2. Mean fluid consumption of fresh water was 963 f S.D. 1.95 per cent body weight per day, and caloric intake averaged 40.32 + 4.92 kcal/lOO g body weight per day when fed oven-dried Lab Chow. Total...

INTRODUCTION Although experience within Peru suggests clinical and physiological benefits of treating dehydration caused by diarrhoea with Lactated Ringer's solution (LR) over sodium chloride 0.9%, (NaCl) there is little documented scientific evidence supporting this view. It is important to clarify this issue and determine the best solution for use during epidemics. METHODOLOGY Forty patient...

Partly dehydrated tobacco leaf tissue (Nicotiana rustica), stripped of the lower epidermis, was used to study the effect of kinetin on the rate of rehydration. Depending on the rate of rehydration in untreated tissue, kinetin either increased or decreased rehydration rates. The response to kinetin was very rapid and could be discerned in less than 2 minutes. On extensive dehydration, the tissue...

We evaluated patterns of health care use for diarrhea among children 0-59 months of age residing in Mirzapur, Bangladesh, using a baseline survey conducted during May-June 2007 to inform the design of a planned diarrheal etiology case/control study. Caretakers of 7.4% of 1,128 children reported a diarrheal illness in the preceding 14 days; among 95 children with diarrhea, 24.2% had blood in the...

All sites had the capacity to provide oral rehydration solution, empirical antibiotics, empirical treatment for malaria, and Ebola diagnostic testing according to national guidelines. At the time of the assessment, two sites were able to provide intravenous hydration. Essential safety measures wer...

To understand how supply chain factors affect product availability at the community level, the Improving Supply Chains for Community Case Management of Pneumonia and Other Common Diseases of Childhood Project developed a theory of change (TOC) framework for gathering, organizing, and interpreting evidence about supply constraints to community case management (CCM). Baseline assessments in Ethio...
