 correspondence author Abstract Hypertension can lead to coronary heart disease, heart failure, stroke, kidney failure, and other health problems. It is of great significance for researchers to find out the risk factors that affect the onset, maintenance and prognosis of hypertension. In this study we aim to find out the risk factors of hypertension from questionnaire data for peasants in East...

I want to dedicate this lecture to the memory of Helen Lester. Helen was wonderful in shaping her words. She will live on in our hearts for what she achieved, just as William Pickles has left a lasting legacy. From his country practice in Wensleydale and his interest in epidemiology he brought the values of primary care to an academic world where secondary care dominated. Half a century later, ...

In 1944 a method of Rh blood-grouping, using slanted capillary tubes, was described (Chown, 1944). Further experience with the method led to the appreciation of certain errors in it, which, in 1946, we pointed out, together with ways of preventing them (Chown and Lewis, 1946). Although Discombe and Meyer (1948) reported favourably on the revised method, descriptions of the original one remained...

Dendrocalamus hamiltonii is a locally available variety of multipurpose bamboo which is mainly cultivated as wood substitute, fodder and edible shoots used for making pickles. As this is a predominant species of bamboo popular with the masses, therefore, an effort was made to evaluate its shoots for quality parameters. Results showed that it contained 91.06 % moisture, 0.81% ash, 0.29% fat and ...

The present experiment was conducted at the Molecular Horticulture Lab. of Agrotechnology Discipline, Khulna University to develop products by processing different parts of jackfruits and to evaluate the nutritional quality of the processed products. The highest total soluble solids were observed from jelly (65.00 %). The highest pH was also found in jelly (5.047). Green pickle contains highest...

A incidência de cãibras musculares durante ou após o exercício físico intenso, denominadas por Cãibras Musculares Associadas ao Exercício, é algo recorrente em atletas diferentes desportos. Este fenómeno caracteriza-se uma contração espasmódica do músculo esquelético, habitualmente curta duração, que provoca dor. Com a evolução conhecimento, algumas hipóteses têm vindo ser exploradas para etiol...

The ability of nonacidified, refrigerated pickled cucumbers to produce the fresh cucumber flavor impact compounds (E,Z)-2,6-nonadienal and (E)-2-nonenal declined during storage. Production of these compounds decreased as the pH of refrigerated cucumbers was reduced. Despite the fact that the concentrations of (E,Z)-2,6-nonadienal and (E)-2-nonenal generated were over 10(5)-fold greater than the...
