Book Preservation Technologies

Alternative food-preservation technologies: efficacy and mechanisms.

High-pressure processing, ionizing radiation, pulsed electric field and ultraviolet radiation are emerging preservation technologies designed to produce safe food, while maintaining its nutritional and sensory qualities. A sigmoid inactivation pattern is observed in most kinetic studies. Damage to cell membranes, enzymes or DNA is the most commonly cited cause of death of microorganisms by alte...

Motion Preservation technologies in cervical Spine Surgery

A cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) has been a surgical option for the management of cervical disc disorders since 1958 (16). Over time, longterm outcome studies increasingly focused on adverse effects, specifically on the vertebrae and the intervertebral discs adjacent to the level fused (2,8,10). The concern that spinal fusion may potentially contribute to the acceleration of adjacent seg...
