Nettle consumption, as well as persimmon, orange, coconut etc. can lead to phytobezoar formation. Coke and cellulase-resistant phytobezoars should be removed either endoscopically or surgically, depending on their dimensions. The treatment of choice for giant phytobezoars (more than 10 cm) is gastrotomy.

The purpose of this project is to determine the ability of alternate host plants, specifically “weeds,” in almonds and vineyards to serve as reservoirs for Xylella fastidiosa (Xf) and for new inoculations by the glassy-winged sharpshooter (GWSS). We collected and analyzed weed and GWSS samples in and around commercial vineyard and almond fields for the presence of Xf on a monthly basis. Xf has ...

Prevention of lipid oxidation needs special attention because a high proportion of fatty acids in broiler meat are unsaturated. A feeding experiment was conducted to evaluate the antioxidant effect of dietary addition of rosemary, chokeberry pomace, rosehip, or nettle in comparison with vitamin E. Male Ross PM3 broilers caged in groups of 6 (4 replicated cages per treatment) were fed a balanced...

Current environmental concerns are increasingly forcing manufacturers to reduce the use of petroleum derivatives in order their carbon footprint. The new plant-based materials is therefore an interesting alternative plastics. A certain number plant fibers have been rediscovered for form agro-composites; Nettle fiber one them. objective this review thus take stock current knowledge on European (...

Longitudinal shifts in pollen onset, duration, and intensity are public health concerns for the growing number of individuals with sensitization. National analyses long-term changes influenced by how a plant's main season (MPS) is defined. Prior Swiss studies have inconsistently applied MPS definitions, leading to heterogeneous conclusions regarding magnitude, directionality, significance multi...

The effect of different amount nettle hay meal replacing concentrated feed on the development replacement pig stock in terms live weight and external measurements are studied. Indicators growth patterns, nutrient consumption per 1 kg pigs under test cinsidered as well. Hematological indicators were researched. main group was fed with basic diet comparative periods experiment. (barley, wheat, pe...

• Changes in community composition resulting from climate change entail modifications of biotic interactions and reshape local species distributions. Such changes are currently occurring in nettle-feeding butterflies in Sweden where Araschnia levana has recently expanded its range northward and is now likely to interact with the resident species (Aglais urticae and Aglais io). Butterfly occurre...

Spices are food additives that used in many different areas of technology. Most the spices contain essential oils sensitive to thermal degradation processes. Therefore, an alternate method decontamination, other than thermal, should be so microbial safety is ensured. This study was focused on evaluation effect ionizing radiation, known as radurization, microbiological samples red pepper, black ...

phenolic compounds including flavonoids and phenolic acids are plants secondary metabolites. due to their ability to act as antioxidant agents, there is a growing interest to use those components in traditional medicine for cancer prevention or treatment. the aim of this study was to measure the amounts of total phenolics and flavonoids as well as anti-proliferative effect of aqueous extract of...

Innovations in the agro-industrial sector are determined by development of biotechnologies from stage growing raw materials to their processing and storage. In compliance with phytosanitary requirements (including use radiation technologies) for grain, issues ensuring preservation dry composite mixtures storage conditions bitechnological techniques prolonging shelf life when adding phytosources...
