The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the temperature and time of sous vide cooking on the quality of chicken breast fillets. Meat was thermally processed at six different combinations of temperature and time 55℃ (260 min and 320 min), 58℃ (140 and 200 min) and 61℃ (90 and 150 min). Thermally processed chicken breasts were analysed for cooking loss, proximate composition, colour parameters, pH, texture parameters and sensory quality. Heat processing at a temperature of 58℃/200 min produced meat with the most desirable sensory quality. These fillets were characterized by the lowest moisture content, high protein content, lowest concentration of malondialdehyde, low shear force value, lowest hardness and chewiness, and the highest scores for tenderness and overall acceptance in sensory evaluation.The scale of attacks on healthcare in emergencies has become better understood through data collection. But less well un\derstood are the consequences of attacks. The purpose of this study was to establish what information could improve our understanding of the impacts of attacks on healthcare. Using the three-round Delphi method, we sought consensus among experts in this field of study of attacks on healthcare to answer the study question. Seventeen experts agreed to take part. The experts generated a total of 222 unique statements identifying those data and information that would improve understanding of the impacts of attacks on healthcare, of which 162 reached consensus. All statements were categorized into 12 themes, each addressing different types of impacts. This Delphi study prepares the groundwork for a research agenda to explore the impacts of attacks on healthcare. These statements will be of use to academics working to expand the evidence base of attacks on healthcare. The study revealed disagreement on how widely the World Health Organization definition of an attack on healthcare should be interpreted and therefore what constitutes an impact of an attack. This is an important finding and further work is required to establish workable definitions for data collection.OBJECTIVE To describe a novel technique of ureteral reimplantation via robotic non-transecting side-to-side anastomosis. While the standard approach to ureteroneocystostomy has a high rate of success, it involves transection of the ureter which may impair vascularity and contribute to recurrent strictures. Our method seeks to maximally preserve distal ureteral blood flow which may reduce this risk. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed a multi-institutional ureteral reconstruction database to identify patients who underwent this operation between 2014-2018, analyzing perioperative and postoperative outcomes. RESULTS Our technique was utilized in 16 patients across three U.S. academic institutions. Median operative time and estimated blood loss were 178 minutes (IQR 150 - 204) and 50 mL (IQR 38 - 100) respectively. The median length of stay was 1 day (IQR 1-2). No intraoperative complications or post-operative complications with Clavien score ≥3 were reported. Post-operatively, 15/16 (93.8%) patients reported clinical improvement in flank pain, and all patients who underwent follow-up imaging had radiographic improvement with decrease in hydronephrosis at a median follow-up of 12.5 months. CONCLUSIONS Ureteral reimplantation via a robotic non-transecting side-to-side anastomosis is a feasible and effective operation for distal ureteral stricture which may have advantages over the standard of care transecting ureteroneocystostomy.A new flavone, named hildeflavone (1) along with 7 other known flavonoids were isolated from the aerial parts of Tephrosia hildebrandtii Vatke. Their characterisation was based on NMR and MS data analysis. The anti-inflammatory properties of the crude extract, isolated compounds and combination of the compounds were investigated in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Treatment of the LPS-stimulated PBMCs with the isolated flavonoids at a concentration of 100 µM significantly reduced the production of interleukins (IL-1β, IL-2 and IL-6), interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α). It was also found that the combination of a flavone and flavanones exhibited remarkable synergistic anti-inflammatory effects on the production of the cytokines.The study aimed to test the prospects for, and acceptance of, pigeonpea and finger millet-based dishes in a school feeding program for 2822 adolescents' in Central Tanzania. The focus was on incorporating nutritious and resilient crops like finger millet and pigeonpea through a participatory approach involving series of theoretical and practical training sessions, for the period of 6 months on the nutritional quality and sensory characteristics of these two unexplored foods in Tanzania. Sharing knowledge on the nutritional value of these crops and involving students in the acceptance study changed their negative perception of finger millet and pigeonpea by 79.5% and 70.3%, respectively. Fifteen months after the study period, schools were still continued feeding the dishes and more than 95% of the students wanted to eat the finger millet and pigeonpea dishes at school. Around 84.2% of the students wanted to include pigeonpea 2-7 times a week and 79.6% of the students wanted to include finger millet on all 7 days in school meal. The study proved that it is possible to change food perceptions and bring about behavior change by sharing knowledge on their benefits and by engaging the consumers through a participatory and culturally appropriate approach.An eremophilane-type sesquiterpenoid (EPS), 3-oxo-eremophila-1,7(11)-dien-12,8β-olide, has been isolated from anti-inflammatory folk herbs, Ligularia pleurocaulis. The aim of present study is to explore protective effects of EPS on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory responses in acute lung injury (ALI). EPS treatments (40 and 80 mg/kg) significantly ameliorated LPS-stimulated pathological changes in lungs. MK-0859 Furthermore, in vivo and in vitro mechanism studies suggest that EPS exerts its protective effects on LPS-induced ALI by regulating macrophage polarisation via suppression of TLR4/MyD88-mediated MAPK and NF-κB signaling pathways, and EPS may be useful for the prevention on ALI in the clinical setting.
