Superoxide dismutases convert superoxide anions to molecular oxygen and hydrogen peroxide, which, in turn, is metabolized by catalases and/or peroxidases. These enzymes constitute one of the major defense mechanisms of cells against oxidative stress and hence play a role in the pathogenesis of certain bacteria. We previously demonstrated that group B streptococci (GBS) possess a single Mn-cofac...

During long-term low-flow sevoflurane anesthesia, dew formation and the generation of compound A are increased in the anesthesia circuit because of elevated soda lime temperature. The object of this study was to develop a novel radiator for carbon dioxide absorbents used for long durations of low-flow sevoflurane anesthesia. Eleven female swine were divided into two groups comprising a "radiato...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate 2-year changes in soda consumption, weight, and waist circumference. METHODS We followed 11 218 women from the Mexican Teachers' Cohort from 2006 to 2008. Dietary data were collected using a semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire. Weight was self-reported, and waist circumference was self-measured. We used linear regression to evaluate changes in sugar-sweetened ...

Information on solar radiation is a critical issue in several environmental domains. The means for accessing information suffer from severe drawbacks. The SoDa project was launched (2000-2003, IST programme of the European Commission) to bring solutions by an efficient use of information and communication technologies. Integration of information sources of different natures was realized by the ...

To the Editor: Ezri et al.1 described serum electrolyte changes following ingestion of cathartics prior to bowel resection surgery. The authors dosed 90 mL of Fleet® Phospho-soda® to their subjects. This is twice the recommended dose of 30–45 mL according to the current professional Fleet® Phospho-soda® labelling.2 Fleet® Phospho-soda® should be used only at the recommended dosage and only in p...

background: today some bakeries for artificially production of bread in order to production process expedition and compensating defects that created by unnatural fermentation and as well as undesirable quality of flour. for cover superficial defects of bread use of harmful chemical material such as soda, that can cause health problems. the aim of this study is determination of soda and salt amo...

PURPOSE This cohort study investigated the association between sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) and diet soda consumption and the incidence of type 2 diabetes in Japanese men. METHODS The participants were 2,037 employees of a factory in Japan. We measured consumption of SSB and diet soda using a self-administered diet history questionnaire. The incidence of diabetes was determined in annual me...
