In the elderly, oral functions are modified by changes in muscular force or saliva production among others, resulting inadequate food fragmentation which potentially impacts on and gastrointestinal digestion. The purpose of this work was to evaluate consequences deficiencies starch protein digestibility bread. vitro boluses were prepared with AM2 masticator using normal deficient mastication pr...

Four 28-d experiments involving 360 weanling pigs were conducted to investigate the effects of including spray-dried porcine plasma (SDPP) in diets from d 0 to 14 after weaning followed by feeding a common diet from d 14 to d 28. In Exp. 1, 80 weanling pigs (4.9 kg BW, 17 +/- 1 d of age) were used to determine the effects of substituting 0, 3, 6, 9, or 12% SDPP for dried skim milk (DSM) and L-l...

OBJECTIVE Although children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are at increased risk for later onset of antisocial personality disorder (APD) as adults, the utility of ADHD as either a comorbid diagnosis (ADHD(c)) or dimensional symptoms (ADHD(d)) in predicting behaviour and substance use problems in APD subjects has not been examined. METHOD A total of 105 adult male offend...

The β-galactosidases from Lactobacillus reuteri L103 (Lreuβgal), Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus DSM 20081 (Lbulβgal), and Bifidobacterium breve DSM 20281 (Bbreβgal-I and Bbreβgal-II) were investigated in detail with respect to their propensity to transfer galactosyl moieties onto lactose, its hydrolysis products D-glucose and D-galactose, and certain sugar acceptors such as N-acety...

Potatoes (Solanum tuberosum cv. ‘Hela’) were exposed in closed fumigation chambers for nine weeks until harvest in 1995. In three treatments ozone was applied as constant concentration (35 ppb for 24 h/d) as well as with peaks (110 ppb for 4 h/d and 65 ppb for 8 h/d) under equal dose conditions. In addition ozone was applied at constant concentration (47, 65 ppb for 24 h/d) in two treatments. I...

This study combined moist airtight storage of moist grain with pig feed fermentation. Starter cultures with the potential to facilitate both technologies were added to airtight stored moist crimped cereal grain, and the impact on storage microflora and the quality of feed fermentations generated from the grain was investigated. Four treatments were compared: three based on moist barley, either ...

BACKGROUND Criteria for alcohol use disorders (AUD) in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition (DSM-5) were intended to result in a similar prevalence of AUD as DSM-IV. We evaluated the prevalence of AUD using DSM-5 and DSM-IV criteria, and compared characteristics of patients who met criteria for: neither DSM-5 nor DSM-IV AUD, DSM-5 alone, DSM-IV alone, or both, ...
