AIM Published data on thrombin generation variables and their correlation with thromboelastometry in the healthy population are scarce. This study aimed at assessing thrombin generation in adults and its correlation to classical rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM). METHODS Thrombin generation was measured in platelet-poor plasma from healthy volunteers using the calibrated automated thrombo...

The role of abscisic acid (ABA) during postharvest ripening peaches remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the temporal and tissue-specific changes in ABA, ABA catabolites, two flat peach cultivars, ‘Plane Sun’ ‘Platibell’, stone fruit supply chain. relationship between catabolism, ethylene production, individual sugar firmness was also studied. We found that can produce metabolise ri...

The @em of harvest maturity andprocessing variables on heat penetration times, firmness, and drained weight of Halley Bos 3155 cv diced tomatoes were evaluated. Core andflesh tissue of green and red tomatoes were cut into cubes (1.27 or 1.91 cm per side), calcium treated, and processed at either 90.5 or 96. I C. Water and tomato juice were used as processing and cooling mediums. Heat penetratio...

Aim: Skin firmness is one of the key parameters to define skin quality and facial aging. Among minimally invasive anti-aging strategies, hyaluronic acid (HA) injection widely accepted improve quality. While most available HA injectables are designed intended for intradermal injection, a novel HA/sorbitol composition containing 2.6% high molecular weight stabilized by sorbitol was recently devel...

Dielectric properties of external surface, internal tissue and juice of Fuji apples during the last two months of tree-ripening were measured with an open-ended coaxial-line probe and a network analyzer at 24 C from 10 to 4500 MHz. The firmness, soluble solids content (SSC), pH, moisture content and electrical conductivity were also measured to determine whether permittivity is related to apple...

OBJECTIVE Fibrinogen and factor XIII (FXIII) have been shown to critically influence clot firmness in the intraoperative setting and thus likely influence intraoperative bleeding. We were interested to identify potential modulators of postoperative clot firmness in a tertiary care hospital surgical intensive care unit setting, independent of their clinical course during surgery. METHODS 272 d...

abstract sour cherry (prunus cerasus l.) is an important iranian-native fruit, considered highly perishable commodity which cannot be stored for any length of time. on this study, effect of three gas compositions (ambient, 5% o2+5% co2+90% n2 and 10% o2+15% co2+75% n2) and two storage temperatures (0 and 5 °c) on two sour cherry cultivars namely erdy jubileum and erdy botermo was studied in a c...

Production of pork for quality-driven export markets offers economic incentive. Pork processors use subjective firmness as a sorting tool for loins intended for high-quality export. The objectives of this study were to determine 1) durometer efficacy in muscle, 2) if firmness on one portion of the loin is indicative of other locations, 3) if 1 d firmness is related to export quality traits, and...

UNLABELLED The effects of calcium chloride (CaCl2 ) and calcium lactate on maintaining textural and sensory quality of fresh-cut "Kent" and "Tommy Atkins" mangos and determination of treatments preferred by consumers were investigated. Mango cubes (1.5 × 1.5 × 1.5 cm) were subjected to different CaCl2 and calcium lactate concentrations (0 M, 0.068 M, 0.136 M, 0.204 M) and dip times (0, 1, 2.5, ...
