The relationship of urine glucose concentration with 'average' blood glucose concentration for the corresponding period was investigated in 10 juvenile diabetics during the performance of 15 inpatient metabolic profiles. 0% glucosuria was associated with 'average' blood glucose concentrations less than 6.4 mmol/l (less than 115 mg/100ml), 2% glycosuria with concentrations greater than 8.6 mmol/...

Arsenic and selenium presence in acid mine waters (AMWs) limits their disposal due to environmental regulations. The focus solve the economic infeasibility is directed sustainable solutions, promoting resource recovery. In fact, rare earth elements (REEs) recovery proposed most of Iberian Pyrite Belt AMWs. However, arsenic may impact REEs Among different alternatives, nanofiltration (NF) provid...

This study was to examine the effects of yeast extract (YE) and its fractions (YE1 and YE2) on the growth and diepoxin ζ (a spirobisnaphthalene with a diversity of bioactivities) production in liquid culture of Berkleasmium-like endophytic fungus Dzf12 from Dioscorea zingiberensis. When YE was applied to the liquid medium at 10 g/L on day 3 of culture, the diepoxin ζ production was most effecti...

Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) experience excess cardiovascular disease (CVD). We investigated the effects of disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARD) and dietary intervention on CVD risk in inflammatory arthritis. Twenty-two patients (17 women; 15 with RA and seven with spondyloarthropathy) who were insulin resistant (n = 20), as determined by the Homeostasis Model Assessment, an...

The expected growth in nanomaterial applications could result in increased amounts of nanoparticles entering municipal sewer systems, eventually ending up in wastewater treatment plants and therefore negatively affecting microbial populations and biological nutrient removal. The aim of this study was to ascertain the impact of zinc oxide nanoparticles (nZnO) on the bacterial microbiome of an ac...

Introduction: It has been suggested that oxidative stress has a crucial role in the pathophysiology of preeclampsia. In the present study, the effect of tempol, a synthetic antioxidant, on kidney injuries and oxidative stress was investigated in an experimental model of preeclampsia in rats. Methods: Preeclampsia was induced by oral administration of L-NAME to the rats on the day 10 of pregnanc...

This study aimed to determine the optimum stocking density that supported optimization of water quality and production white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) ponds. was conducted in 2 different cycles, namely cycles 14 15 with densities each cycle, 94 150 shrimp/m2. Each cycle represented by ponds, ponds B5 B6. Experimental animals used were post-larvae stadia 9-10 (PL 9-10) a size 9-12 mm. parame...
