Methods Clinical files of the 335 patients referred to the FAU of a Portuguese University Hospital for suspected food allergic reactions between January 2010 and April 2014 were retrospectively reviewed; those with suspicion of SH were selected. Patients’ demographics, medical history and SH diagnostic procedures reviewed. The allergy work-up was considered complete when an open food challenge ...

Vitamin C is considered an essential vitamin that commonly found in most fruits and vegetables. It susceptible to easy degradation, especially during pre-treatment storage. This study aimed at forecasting the degradation of consumed vegetable (cabbage) dipped different solutions time intervals. The samples after dipping intervals were prepared for analysis.

Background: Many health problems are related to lifestyle and dietary factors. Since ancient times, food additives such as sulfites have been used to preserve foods. Diverse effects of sulfites on multiple organs have been reported but its effect on female reproductive organ has not been fully elucidated. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of sodium metabisulfite (SMB) on ovar...

A novel concept was successfully evaluated for the electrochemical quantitative analysis of zinc oxide nanoparticles originally in aqueous suspension. An aliquot suspension first placed on working area a graphite screen-printed electrode and water evaporated to form dry deposit ZnO nanoparticles. Deposition confirmed by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. probe solution containing KCl sodium ...

We studied 40 patients with the clinical diagnostic of chronic urticaria from January to June, 1995 and excluded 4 patients who did not fulfilled the entry criteria. 29 women and 7 men with age from 4 to 62 years old. We performed a basic clinics history and the oral challenge tests (PRO) included Tartrazine (Ta), Sodium Metabisulfite (MS), Potasium Metabisulfite (MP) and Sodium Bisulfite (BS) ...

PURPOSE Prefomulation approach utilizing the fractional-ordered randomized blocked design was employed for the formulation development and stability testing of morphine solution. METHODS Factors expecting to affect the stability of morphine were evaluated, i.e., vehicle, antioxidant, chelating agent, and pH of the solution. Eight formulations of a possible 16 were prepared according to the bl...

Two experiments (EXP), utilizing the skin attachment model (SAM), were conducted to determine the bactericidal activity of six potential carcass disinfectants [EXP 1: 20, 400, and 800 ppm sodium hypochlorite; EXP 2: 5% acetic acid (AA), 8% trisodium phosphate (TSP), and 1% sodium metabisulfite (SS)] during simulated scalder (50 C for 2 min), chiller (0 C for 60 min), or post-process dip (23 C f...
