Sequential Biorefining of Bioactive Compounds of High Functional Value from Calafate Pomace () Using Supercritical CO and Pressurized Liquids.

A biorefinery process was developed for a freeze-dried pomace of calafate berries (). The process consisted of extraction of lipophilic components with supercritical CO (scCO) and subsequent extraction of the residue with a pressurized mixture of ethanol/water (1:1 /). scCO extracted oil from the pomace, while pressurized liquid extraction generated a crude extract rich in phenols and a residue rich in fiber, proteins and minerals.

What Donation Features are Related to Complications in Donation after Circulatory Death Kidney Transplant? Analysis of Risk Factors for Complication after Circulatory Death Kidney Transplant.

Objective: Complications in donation after circulatory death (DCD) kidney transplants (KT) are barely described, while in some urological complications the cause is unknown. The aim of this study is to describe surgical and urological complications and analyze what donation features could be involved.

Methods: A prospective, single center study was performed from 2016 to 2019 including all KT from controlled cardiac death donors (cDCD).

Effect of Ischemia Times and Donor and Recipient Features on Maastricht Category III Kidney Transplant Outcomes.

Objective: Expansion of the donor pool has been enabled by the use of donation after circulatory death (DCD). The aim of this study is to identify what donation features are able to predict kidney transplant (KT) outcomes from DCD.

Materials And Methods: A prospective analysis of all DCD KT from June 2016 to November 2019 was conducted.

An integrated assessment of environmental sustainability and nutrient availability of food consumption patterns in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Background: In Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), historical shifts away from traditional, plant-sourced food production and consumption patterns may undermine both nutritional status and environmental sustainability. Although agricultural intensification and increasingly animal-centric dietary preferences in the region are well-documented, their influence on environmental degradation remains unknown.

Objectives: This study aimed to 1) characterize the environmental impacts of current food consumption patterns in South America, Central America, and the Caribbean; and 2) identify food groups that minimize impact while maintaining adequate nutrient availability.

Do Surgeons React?: A Retrospective Analysis of Surgeons' Response to Harassment of a Colleague During Simulated Operating Theatre Scenarios.

Objective: To assess and report on surgeons' ability to identify and manage incidences of harassment.

Background: The Royal Australasian College of Surgeons is committed to driving out discrimination, bullying, harassment, and sexual harassment from surgical training and practice, through changing the culture of the workplace. To eradicate these behaviors, it is first critical to understand how the current workforce responds to these actions.
