Objective(s): The use of new technologies, which can be realized as nanotechnology, is a novel approach in this sector. Covers made of silver nanoparticles effectively prevent and reduce invasion of microorganisms, compared with other conventional covers. This study was conducted to determine the effects of nanosilver covers in comparison with other conventional covers. <stron...

Background Freezing is considered the most suitable technological treatment to avoid Anisakis infection from eating raw or undercooked fish but modifications of their cuticles upon freezing may reduce resistance gastric fluids, provoking a greater release allergens. This work aimed study relationship between freezing-induced simplex s.l., antigen recognition, and oral digestion in spiked mince....

Cheryl Dellasega, GNP, PhD, author of Girl Wars and Mean Girls Grown Up, Professor of Humanities at Penn State University College of Medicine and Professor of Women's Studies at Penn State University, doesn't mince words when speaking about bullying in nursing. "Nurses are really vicious to each other," explains Dellasega, noting that the problem is profession-wide: "It's not one hospital. It's...

We report the effects of some common antirheumatic drugs on the production of catabolin from synovium and on its action on cartilage. A method is described to generate reproducible amounts of catabolin from synovial mince. Aspirin, Clozic (ICI 55,897), and gold were without effect on the catabolin system. Penicillamine at high doses enhanced the action of catabolin, while chloroquine inhibited ...

In this study we present first the main theorem of the unfolding method in linearized elasticity. Then we prove that every displacement of a thin structure (curved rod or shell) is the sum of an elementary displacement and a warping. Thanks to the previous theorem we obtain sharp estimates of the displacements of this decomposition. Résumé. Dans cette étude on présente d’abord le théorème fonda...
