BACKGROUND One of the complications aneurysms subarachnoid hemorrhage is the development of vasospasm, which is the leading cause of disability and death from ruptured cerebral aneurysm. AIM To evaluate the significance of previous comorbidities on early outcome of patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage caused by rupture of a cerebral aneurysm in the prevention of vasospasm. PATIENTS AND MET...

An experiment was conducted to determine the effects of long-term feeding of cottonseed meal on the reproductive traits of Holstein bulls. Holstein bulls approximately 6 mo of age were placed on the following treatments: 1) soybean meal + corn (CON); 2) cottonseed meal + corn (GOS); and 3) cottonseed meal + 4,000 IU vitamin E x bull(-1) x d(-1) (G+4E). The GOS and G+4E diets were formulated to ...

BACKGROUD Using electronic health data, we sought to identify clinical and physiological parameters that in combination predict neurologic outcomes after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). METHODS We conducted a single-center retrospective cohort study of patients admitted with aSAH between 2011 and 2016. A set of 473 predictor variables was evaluated. Our outcome measure was discharg...

The influence of the gut microbiota on brain chemistry has been convincingly demonstrated in rodents. In the absence of gut bacteria, the central expression of brain derived neurotropic factor, (BDNF), and N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) subunits are reduced, whereas, oral probiotics increase brain BDNF, and impart significant anxiolytic effects. We tested whether prebiotic compounds, whi...

Prebiotics beneficially affect the gut microbiome. Bimuno®, a prebiotic supplement containing galactooligosaccharides (GOS), has multiple demonstrated effects. Using short-term colonic incubations, influence of GOS on microbiota three healthy human adults was evaluated. Colonic reactors inoculated with fecal samples were untreated (blank) or supplemented GOS. pH, gas pressure, short-chain fatty...

Rapid urbanization and growth in the Kalurahan Wonokromo, situated peri-urban area of Yogyakarta City causes loss children's playgrounds while number children is increasing. Preserving remaining space for Green Open Space (GOS) crucial. Amid limit, choosing right location one keys to ensuring functions optimally. We employ Spatial Multi-Criteria Analysis (SMCA) selecting several candidates deve...

Probiotics play an important role in human gut health. However, it remains a challenge to maintain the viability of probiotics throughout gastrointestinal transit. Hence, this study aimed microencapsulate Bifidobacterium lactis Bi-07 with galactooligosaccharides (GOS) using co-extrusion technique. Optimization calcium chloride (1.0% w/v 3.0% w/v) and GOS concentration 5.0% were performed encaps...

The bioconversion of porungo cheese whey into galactooligosaccharides (GOS) was investigated using immobilized β-galactosidase in batch system. Two enzymatic immobilization strategies were tested for optima pH and temperature the best strategy used to evaluate GOS production two steps. First, different lactose sources (substrates) tested, subsequently, concentrations (200 g L-1 400 L-1) tempera...

PURPOSE A characterization of a clinical unit for digital radiography (FUJIFILM FDR D-EVO) is presented. This system is based on the irradiation side sampling (ISS) technology and can be equipped with two different scintillators: one traditional gadolinium-oxysulphide phosphor (GOS) and a needle structured cesium iodide (CsI) phosphor panel. METHODS The characterization was achieved in terms ...
