Background: Salt content and pH degree are the quality indicators of bread which their unauthorized levels may have harmful effects on body health. Accordingly, this survey was carried out to evaluate pH and salt contents in bread samples produced in Mashhad, Iran. Methods: Totally 708 bread samples (340 loaves of Lavash, 183 loaves of Taftun, 139 loaves of Barbari and 46 loaves of Sangak br...

in this paper an intelligent method through general regression neural networks (grnn) is presented to estimate the depth of salt domes from gravity data. neural networks are as a good tool for automatic interpretation of geophysical data especially for depth estimation of gravity anomalies. the gravity signal is a nonlinear function of depth and density and the geometrical parameters of the bur...

BACKGROUND Despite numerous educational programmes to create awareness about iodized salt and iodine deficiency disorders (IDD), a survey conducted in the Western Region of Ghana in 2007 revealed that the goitre rate stood at 18.8%; and 78.1% of households consumed iodized salt, which is below the goal of the IDD programme in Ghana which aimed at 90% household consumption of iodized salt by the...

this study was carried out to evaluate the chemical compoition of alosa caspia and results compared with clupeonella engrauliformis which is a common fish catch among clupeonella and clupeidae spp in caspian sea . results showed that the amount of fat, protein, ash and dry matter in alosa was higher than clupeonella. the fatty acid composition showed that the epa was very high in alosa that sho...

Brazilian legislation, since 1955, failed to achieve its objectives because the issue was not properly addressed: iodized salt was only available in endemic areas, at a low amount of 10 mg Iodine/kg salt. Lack of surveillance and cooperation were common errors. From 1982 to 1992, the INAN distributed potassium iodate to the industry free of charge, but it was abolished in 1991. Only four years ...

Acute hyponatraemia is a common finding in patients with intracranial pathology. The diagnosis of the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) is often made, but it is important to distinguish this from cerebral salt wasting syndrome, which responds to very different management. Cerebral salt wasting is well documented in neurosurgical patients and in patients with space occupying...
