Background: Alcohol is a potent teratogen and alcohol use in pregnancy and the periconception period can cause many complications in mother, fetus and neonate.  Discussion: Alcohol in the mother's blood passes through the placenta to the baby through the umbilical cord. Drinking alcohol during pregnancy can cause miscarriage, stillbirth, and a range of lifelong disorders. Alcohol-related birth ...

Myohemoglobinuric acute renal failure (ARF) was induced in dehydrated, salt-deficient, salt-loaded, and untreated rats by intramuscular injection of glycerol, and the renal vasculature was studied after 24 hours. Kidneys were prepared for examination by rapid freezing in vivo to -160 degrees C and freeze substitution in -80 degrees C alcohol, and by perfusion fixation with 1% glutaraldehyde in ...

To explore the effect of low-temperature and low-salt fermentation on volatile flavor substances Chinese kohlrabi, fermented kohlrabi (LSCK) traditional high-salt (HSCK) were produced. The physicochemical texture properties two kinds kohlrabies evaluated. Headspace gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS) electronic nose (E-nose) used to analyze kohlrabi. results showed that total ...

We describe a facile synthesis of the cyapho-cyanamide salt [Na(18-crown-6)][N(CN)(CP)] from reaction [Na(18-crown-6)][PH2] (18-crown-6=1,4,7,10,13,16-hexaoxacyclooctadecane) with dimethyl N-cyanocarbonimidate, (MeO)2C=N(CN). The proceeds elimination two equivalents methanol. Careful tuning conditions allowed for isolation and characterization N-cyano(carboximidate)phosphide intermediate [HP{C(...

lead, cadmium, mercury and arsenic are the most important heavy metals which may cause health risks following consumption of contaminated foods. table salt is one the mostly used food additive with unique place in food consumption. although purified table salt is expected to have lower level of contamination, some iranians still prefer to use rock salt. use of rock salt for food purposes has be...

Polymer blend electrolytes have been prepared using the casting technique. The electrolyte is composed of two polymers polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)) with a fixed ratio (50 : 50) loaded varied ratios FeCl2 (0.5, 1, and 2 wt.%). impedance analysis indicates that AC conductivity increased as temperature was following power law. Nyquist plots for pure composite samples present...
