We report on the brain diffusion MR imaging findings in a neonate with severe hypernatremic dehydration, which resulted in cerebral edema (osmotic edema) and in apparent diffusion coefficient decrease, despite a careful and slow rehydration. This report provides in vivo insight into nervous cell response to osmotic challenge.

Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is the culmination of diabetes mellitus that results in unrestrained ketone body formation in the liver, metabolic acidosis, severe dehydration, shock and possibly death. Hepatic lipid metabolism becomes deranged with insulin deficiency and nonesterified fatty acids are converted to acetyl-co-enzyme A (acetyl-CoA) rather than being incorporated into triglycerides. Ac...

Ultrasound (US) is a promising technology, which can be used to improve the efficacy of processes in food technology and quality final product. US technique used, e.g., support mass heat transfer processes, such as osmotic dehydration, drying freezing, well extraction, crystallization, emulsification, filtration, etc. Osmotic dehydration (OD) well-known process applied processing; however, impr...

The pumpkin is an important kitchen garden crop with very high nutritional value and long lifetime for storage and lot of fiber that acts as one of the best preventive factors from morbid obesity, hypertension, and cardiac diseases. As pretreatment for dehydration, osmotic dehydration creates maximum possible quality in the product by transfer of water outside the tissue of the nutrient. In thi...

ABSTRACT: In this study the reliability of using response surface-neural network method to predict the osmotic dehydration properties of crookneck squash has been investigated. In order to carry out this project, the osmotic solution concentration, the osmotic solution temperature and immersion time were chosen as inputs and solid gain and water loss were selected as outputs of the designed net...

Assessing the tolerance of medicinal plants is important for planting them in drought areas. Arginine is a growth regulator and its role in plants’ tolerance to environmental stresses such as drought has been investigated. To evaluate the protective effects of arginine against osmotic stress induced by polyethylene glycol in ajwain (Trachyspermum ammi) seedlings, an experiment was conducted as ...

This study aimed to determine the effects of osmotic dehydration on kinetics hot air drying apricot halves under conditions that were similar industrial ones. The process was performed in a sucrose solution at 40 and 60 °C concentrations 50% 65%. As expected increased temperatures resulted water loss, solid gain shrinkage. well described by Peleg model. effective diffusivity 5.50–7.387 × 10−9 m...
