In this study, tomato paste was fortified with iron compounds at 25, 50, and 75 ppm concentrations. The effect of adding these micronutrient iron concentrations on the paste's physical, mechanical, aromatic, and chemical properties was evaluated every 15 days over a 60-day, storage period. The results indicated a gradual decrease in pH, total soluble solids (TSS), and taste index, alongside an increase in total acidity (TA) for all treatments throughout the storage period.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to identify echocardiographic indicators that could predict the success of weaning patients from veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) and their survival after the procedure.
  • It involved 76 patients undergoing V-A ECMO due to cardiogenic shock, measuring various echocardiographic parameters before and during the weaning process.
  • Key findings highlighted that parameters like total isovolumic time (t-IVT), mitral annular plane systolic excursion (MAPSE), and left ventricular output velocity-time integral (LVOT VTI) were strong predictors of successful weaning and survival, whereas the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was not a reliable

Post-COVID-19 syndrome is commonly used to describe signs and symptoms that continue or develop after acute COVID-19 for more than 12 weeks. The study aimed to evaluate a treatment strategy in patients with adhesive capsulitis (phase 1) developed in post-COVID-19 syndrome. : The method used was an interventional pilot study in which 16 vaccinated patients presenting with the clinical and ultrasound features of adhesive capsulitis (phase 1) developed during post-COVID-19 syndrome were treated with infiltrative hydrodistension therapy under ultrasound guidance associated with early rehabilitation treatment.

Frozen shoulder is a common and self-limiting condition affecting the soft tissues of the shoulders, characterized by severe pain, impaired range of motion (ROM) and limitation of daily activities. Its prevalence is 5% and it occurs most commonly in the fifth and sixth decades of life; women are more affected [DePalma in Clin Orthop Relat Res 466:552-560, 2008]. It can be idiopathic or associated with other conditions such as metabolic disorders, diabetes, thyroid diseases, prolonged immobilization, trauma [DePalma in Clin Orthop Relat Res 466:552-560, 2008], or complications after vaccine administration known as SIRVA (Shoulder injury related to vaccine administration).
