BACKGROUND Previous studies have not demonstrated a consistent association between potentially inappropriate medicines (PIMs) in older patients as defined by Beers criteria and avoidable adverse drug events (ADEs). This study aimed to assess whether PIMs defined by new STOPP (Screening Tool of Older Persons' potentially inappropriate Prescriptions) criteria are significantly associated with ADE...

Eighteen commercial beers have been analyzed in both liquid and gas phases using colorimetric sensor arrays made from selected chemically responsive dyes printed on a hydrophobic membrane. Digital imaging of the dye array before and after exposure to the complex analytes in either the liquid phase or the head-gas provides a color change profile as a unique fingerprint for the specific analyte. ...

The Beers Criteria for potentially inappropriate medication use in older adults, originally published in 1991, have gone through several iterations.1 The initial publication focused exclusively on nursing home residents, providing a list of medications where the potential for harm exceeded the potential for beneficial effects. The criteria have arguably been influential in providing guidance fo...

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of beers on the bovine enamel microhardness. Fifty rectangular (1 x 3 x 1 mm-height x width x thickness) enamel specimens were obtained from permanent bovine incisors, and divided into five groups (n = 10) according to the treatment employed: Saliva, Coke, Brahma, Heineken, and Budweiser. Microhardness (Knoop) were obtained before; after 5, 30 and 60 min ...

This study aimed to produce and evaluate the physicochemical characteristics of craft beers with addition yellow passion fruit pulp acceptance level these products by sensory analysis. The 2% (w/v) was performed in two stages: A) wort, before primary alcoholic fermentation B) green beer, after maturation stage. pH, titratable acidity, total soluble solids, reducing sugars phenolic compounds wer...

savage have made use of intoxicating drinks of some kind from time immemorial. Modern research has established the fact that alcoholic beverages were prepared from cereals by the Babylonians about 4,000 B.C. and ancient explorers have dilated upon the wonderful skill ?f man which enabled him to turn barley into wine.
