The effect of some processing techniques (germination boiling and dehulling) on the soluble sugar contents and the emulsion property of processed flour were studied. Results show that germination significantly reduced the raffinose level from the third to the fifth day sprouting period (P<0.05). Boiling and dehulling also reduced the content of this flatus oligosaccharide (raffinose) but not to...

The present study aims to explore to what extent hospitals adopt a market orientation as their corporate marketing strategy in an emerging-market context which poses many macro-level challenges for health care organizations due to its strong need for economic development, societal development, better quality-oflife (QOL), welfare, ethical practices among others. Hospitals that serve in these ma...

Background The level of circulating plasmablasts has been proposed as a good marker for diagnosing and monitoring IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) independent serum IgG4 [1]. However elevated can be seen in other rheumatologic conditions. Objectives To compare В-cell subsets peripheral blood IgG4-RD, Sjogren’s syndrome (SjS) patients (pts) healthy controls. Methods Twelve pts with clinically acti...

TOPIC: Pulmonary Manifestations of Systemic Disease TYPE: Medical Student/Resident Case Reports INTRODUCTION: IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is an emerging fibroinflammatory condition characterized by dense lymphoplasmacytic infiltration with IgG4 expression as well fibrosis multiple organ systems. Lesions in different organs can present simultaneously or metachronously. In the thorax, IgG4-RD ...

Background: Clinical improvement after B-cell depletion with rituxmab suggests a prominent pathogenic role of B-lymphcytes in IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD). IgG4-RD, however, relapses most cases together re-expansion clonally divergent plasmablasts indicating that treatment rituximab does not completely abrogates T follicular helper (Tfh)-cells dependent germinal center reactions leading to de...

BackgroundDespite recent improvements in treatment options for second-line, microsatellite-stable (MSS) mCRC, outcomes remain suboptimal. Here we describe the daNIS-3 study (a phase II, open-label, randomized, multicenter, platform [NCT04952753]), which assesses safety/efficacy of NIS793 (an anti–TGF-β monoclonal antibody), with a focus on exploratory biomarker assessments.Trial designFor each ...

The experience of surgeons is that in most if not all instances, the number instruments used performance a given procedure fraction those opened at beginning case. In article “Data analysis vascular surgery instrument trays Yields large cost and efficiency savings,” Knowles et al1Knowles M. Gay S.S. Konchan S.K. Mendes R. Rath S. Deshpande V. al.Data yields savings.J Vasc Surg. 2021; 73: 2144-2...

Background: The relationship between the pathological findings and disease relapse has not been well established. Objectives: We aim to investigate clinical manifestations in relation with IgG4-RD, as identify prognostic factors predicting relapsed disease. Methods: This study enrolled 71 patients newly diagnosed IgG4-RD Jan 2011 April 2020, all of whom had received examinations. Their data wer...

TOPIC: Cardiovascular Disease TYPE: Medical Student/Resident Case Reports INTRODUCTION: Hypothermia is a common environmental injury that typically seen in regions with severe winters. Despite aggressive management, associated mortality almost 40%(1). can be mild, moderate or severe, based on the core temperature at presentation. Although multiple cardiac manifestations of hypothermia have been...
