Thermal-assisted pressure processing: effects of marination, temperature, and pressure level on physicochemical, color and textural parameters of Superficial pectoralis beef muscle.

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of salt addition and different thermal-assisted pressure processing (TAPP) conditions (temperature and pressure levels) on technological, chromatic, and textural parameters and lipid oxidation of Superficial pectoralis beef muscle. A factorial design with three factors was applied: KCl/NaCl marination (marinated samples MS; non-marinated samples, NMS), temperature during high-pressure processing (50, 70°C), and pressure level (0.1, 200, and 300 MPa).

Increased expression levels of PIEZO1 in visceral adipose tissue in obesity and type 2 diabetes are triggered by mechanical forces and are associated with inflammation.

Background: PIEZO1 has emerged as a mechanoreceptor linked with adipogenesis, adipose tissue (AT) inflammation and insulin resistance. We aimed to determine the impact of obesity and obesity-associated type 2 diabetes (T2D) as well as mechanical compression forces on the expression of PIEZO1 in visceral AT (VAT) and its relation with inflammation.

Methods: Blood and VAT samples were obtained from 100 volunteers.

Transcranial penetrating skull base trauma with metal rod: Endoscopic repair of CSF leak.

Background: Penetrating skull base injuries are complex clinical scenarios requiring multidisciplinary management to address both immediate life-threatening conditions and long-term complications.Anterior skull base fractures account for 21% of skull fractures from which 4% were caused by head trauma [1]. Post-traumatic cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks may arise, becoming a major source of morbidity; these can lead to the development of severe intracranial infections [2].

Impact of processing on the sensitising capacity and cross-reactivity of cow's and camel milk proteins in a Brown Norway rat study.

Infant formulas based on hydrolysed cow's milk proteins are used when breastfeeding is not feasible in cow's milk allergic infants. Camel milk has been shown to be well-tolerated by the majority of children with cow's milk allergy (CMA) and may be a substitute in management of CMA. Here we aimed to evaluate the impact of processing on immunogenicity, sensitising, antibody-binding and cross-reactive capacity of cow's and camel milk.
