INTRODUCTION Questions surround the appropriate emergency department (ED) disposition of children who have sustained blunt head trauma (BHT). Our objective was to identify physician disposition preferences of children with blunt head trauma (BHT) and varying computed tomography (CT) findings. METHODS WE SURVEYED PEDIATRIC AND GENERAL EMERGENCY PHYSICIANS (EP), PEDIATRIC NEUROSURGEONS (PNSURG)...

INTRODUCTION Antioxidants are health beneficial compounds that can protect cells and macromolecules from the damage of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The aims of this study were to compare the total antioxidant and carotenoid production in R. Slooffiae and R. Mucilaginosa. METHODS To isolate the carotenoid pigment, cells were suspended in acetone and broken using a homogenizer, followed by ce...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of some natural extracts obtained from grape pomace (GPE) and grape seeds (GSE) as compared to a synthetic food, antioxidant-butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), in order to control fungal population and ochratoxin A (OTA) production in naturally contaminated wheat. The results showed that the addition of these extracts was efficient with OTA content ...

Effects of feeding mice and rats with 2(3)-ferf-butyl-4-hydroxyanisole (BHA) and 3,5-di-ferf-butyl-4-hydroxytoluene (BHT), the two most commonly used food-additive phenolic antioxidants with known anticarcinogenic properties but with only minor differences in their chemical structures, have been compared to search for common effects between the two agents in two different rodent species and the...

Abstract Background Our institution became a Major Trauma Centre (MTC) in 2012, currently serving population of 2.3 million. This study aims to evaluate the trends blunt hepatic trauma (BHT) and changes management strategy over time (pre- post- MTC era). Methods was single-centre, retrospective cohort study. Data were obtained from Audit Research Network (TARN) database across 20-year period (2...

The aim of this study was to determine the effects dried peach leaves powders with different methods on pH and Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) values, cooking, textural sensory properties beef patties. Samples were divided into six treatment groups; control (without leaf powder/ Butylhydroxytoluene (BHT)), patties BHT (0.01%), containing (PLP) in air (AP) (%1) microwave oven (Mw...

Considerable evidence suggests that mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to the toxicity of uranyl acetate (UA), a soluble salt of depleted uranium (DU). We examined the ability of the two antioxidants, beta-glucan and butylated hydroxyl toluene (BHT), to prevent UA-induced mitochondrial dysfunction using rat-isolated kidney mitochondria. Beta-glucan (150 nM) and BHT (20 nM) attenuated UA-indu...

A central problem in Binary Hypothesis Testing (BHT) is to determine the optimal tradeoff between Type I error (referred as false alarm) and II miss) error. In this context, exponential rate of convergence miss probability -- sample size tends infinity given some (positive) restrictions on alarm probabilities a fundamental question address theory. Considering more realistic context BHT with fin...

lipid oxidation has adverse effect on food deterioration and human health. the antioxidant activity of fennel seed extracts (fse) was evaluated by synthetic antioxidant. its oxidative stability was compared in olive oils in concentrations of bha (75 ppm), bht(75 ppm) and  1:1 bha to bht ratio. peroxide (pv), p-anisidine (av) and totox values were evaluated to assess the extent of oil deteriorat...
