A study was conducted in the alluvial soils located in Oko-anala in Delta State, Nigeria. These alluvial soils are primarily used for intensive vegetable production for commercial purposes. The total land area of about 3.34 Square kilometer was divided into three consociations and composite soil samples collected from pre-determined depths of 0-15 and 16-30cm. The samples were routinely prepare...

OBJECTIVES Allergens produced by domestic mites (DM) are among the most common allergic sensitizers and risk factors for asthma. To compare exposure levels between workplaces and living areas a new assay able to measure airborne DM antigen concentrations was developed. METHODS At workplaces and in living areas, 213 floor dust samples and 92 personal inhalable dust samples were collected. For ...

Timed up and go test and risk of falls in older adults: a systematic review. Beauchet O, Fantino B, Allali G, Muir SW, Montero-Odasso M, Annweiler C. J. Nutr. Health Aging 2011; 15(10): 933-938. Of the 92 selected studies, 11 met the selection criteria and were included in the final analysis. Fall rate ranged from 7.5 to 60.0% in the selected studies. The cut-off time separating non-fallers and...

Heparin is a polydisperse sulphated copolymer consisting mostly of 1-->4 linked glucosamine and uronic acid residues, i.e. 2-deoxy-2-sulphamido-D-glucopyranose 6-sulphate and L-idopyranosyluronic acid 2-sulphate. 13C NMR has been used to study the interactions of heparinase-derived and purified heparin disaccharide with N- and C-terminally-blocked tripeptides GRG and GKG. Titration of the disac...

Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) may experience chronic microvascular complications such as diabetic retinopathy (DR) and diabetic nephropathy (DN) during their lifetime. In clinical studies, serum uric acid concentration has been found to be associated with DR and DN. The goal of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the increases in serum uric acid level and the sever...

BACKGROUND Today, most of pretreatments used to convert biomass into biofuels are based on expensive chemical processes that not only do not keep the major components intact after separation, but also consume water and generate many effluents. However, dry fractionation technologies are an important step for future biomass biorefineries since they do not require chemicals and do not generate wa...
