As countries around the world struggle to provide oncology care and treatment to their populations, nurses, as the largest healthcare workforce, are faced with the challenge of obtaining, maintaining, and developing specialized oncology nursing knowledge and expertise. Strategies that can be deployed at a local level to support nurses with integrating new knowledge into practice are important i...

the optimization of cell culture conditions for growth and productivity of recombinant chinese hamster ovary (cho) cells is a critical step in biopharmaceutical manufacturing. in the present study, the effects of the timing and amount of peptone feeding of a recombinant cho cell line grown in a basal medium in serum-free suspension culture were determined for eight peptones of different origin ...

Four feeding levels (40%, 60%, 80% and 100% of satiation) were designed as the different treatment groups to assess its effects on water quality and plankton community structure in the yellow catfish rearing enclosure ecosystem. The results showed that the weight gain and specific growth rate decreased significantly as the feeding level decreased. The soluble nutrients (except for NO2-N) concen...

BACKGROUND UNICEF (United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund) and WHO estimate that if all babies were breastfed for at least the first six months of their lives, the rate of morbidity and malnutrition would significantly decrease all over the world. In this view, these two organizations promoted a worldwide campaign for breastfeeding, creating the Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative...

BACKGROUND The aim of the current study is to identify strategies to promote healthy eating in young children that can be applied by caregivers, based on their own perceptions of effectiveness and feasibility. Whereas previous research mainly focused on parental influences on children's eating behavior, the growing role of other caregivers in the upbringing of children can no longer be denied. ...

background: transient gene expression (tge) gained popularity over the last decade as a rapid method for the production of milligram to gram quantities of recombinant proteins for preclinical studies in biophama industry. thereby, the optimization of the tge technique for chinese hamster ovary (cho) as the dominant host for the production of biotherapeutics is of great interest to reach the val...

Pichia pastoris is widely used for the production of recombinant proteins in industrial biotechnology. In general, industrial production processes describe fed-batch processes based on the specific growth rate. Recently, we introduced the specific substrate uptake rate (q s) as a novel parameter to design fed-batch strategies for P. pastoris. We showed that a dynamic feeding strategy where the ...

BACKGROUND Associations between parent and child characteristics and how they influence the approach parents take toward children in the feeding environment have not been examined extensively, especially in low-income minority families who are at a higher risk for obesity. The primary aim of the study was to examine positive and negative parent emotions as potential mediators of the relationshi...
