Sushi, a very popular food worldwide became a popular ready-to-eat food selling in supermarkets, but it exhibit distinct features, which are associated with microbiological hazards. Therefore, MAP technology, known to reduce aerobic bacteria in fishery products, was used to improve quality of ready-to-eat salmon sushi in this study. Salmon sushi were packaged with air (control), 50%N2 /50%CO2 (...

conclusion vr reconstruction for both single-direction images and sushi using dti25 raw data provides excellent 3d displays of the peripheral nerves in the wrist region. sushi post-processing is a useful denoising tool because it automatically reduces the majority of isotropic object noise. results single-direction vr reconstruction clearly showed the nerves for both dti6 and dti25 but with obv...

Telephone interviews were initially conducted for fi ve cases using a hypothesis-generating questionnaire. These interviews revealed that all fi ve cases worked in the Brisbane Central Business District (CBD) and had eaten takeaway sushi as a lunch meal in the fi ve days prior to their illness.

In August 2004, a stool sample from 1 ill sushi restaurant A patron yielded enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC). In December 2004, we investigated a third cluster of diarrhea cases among sushi restaurant B patron...

BACKGROUND Sushi is a traditional Japanese cuisine enjoyed worldwide. However, using raw fish to make sushi may pose risk of certain parasitic infections, such as anisakidosis, which is most reported in Japan. This risk of infection can be eliminated by freezing fish; however, Japanese people are hesitant to freeze fish because it is believed that freezing ruins sushi's taste. METHODS A rando...

GABA(B) receptors are the G-protein-coupled receptors for GABA, the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain. Two receptor subtypes, GABA(B(1a,2)) and GABA(B(1b,2)), are formed by the assembly of GABA(B1a) and GABA(B1b) subunits with GABA(B2) subunits. The GABA(B1b) subunit is a shorter isoform of the GABA(B1a) subunit lacking two N-terminal protein interaction motifs, the sushi domains. S...

BACKGROUND Sushi suffocation is relatively uncommon, and it is an unignorable cause of sudden death; however, no reports on sushi suffocation have been published. METHODS A 60-year-old man was referred to our hospital for post resuscitative intensive care. He had choked on sushi and collapsed in the dining room of a mental hospital.

TO THE EDITOR—Iwata et al [1] reported the suitability and feasibility of freezing raw fish to eliminate the risk of anisakidosis infection. They compared frozen and raw sushi materials, squid, and mackerel, using a suitable scientific method. However, we discuss this study’s misleading interpretation. During the last few decades, many inexpensive sushi restaurants have opened in Japan, where p...
