[Attention to diners with specific dietary needs in mass catering services].

The objective of this review is to summarize the most relevant aspects of the attention to diners with specific diet in the catering sector. The characteristics of the final consumer usually determine both the variety of specific diets to be served and the operative of the service. There are two models of catering services that are differentiated from each other by the place where the foods are prepared and delivered: centralized production and on-site production.

Cost-Effectiveness of Drug Treatments for Advanced Melanoma: A Systematic Literature Review.

Background: Until recently, advanced melanoma (unresectable and metastatic) has had a poor prognosis and has been treated with chemotherapy. The introduction of new treatments (BRAF and MEK inhibitors and immunotherapy) has improved overall survival and progression-free survival of some patients.

Objective: The objective of this study was to review the published evidence on the cost-effectiveness of pharmacological treatments for advanced melanoma.

Magnetic resonance imaging study in a normal Bengal tiger (Panthera tigris) stifle joint.

Background: The purpose of this study was to describe the normal appearance of the bony and soft tissue structures of the stifle joint of a Bengal tiger (Panthera tigris) by low-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and the use of gross anatomical dissections performed as anatomical reference. A cadaver of a mature female was imaged by MRI using specific sequences as the Spin-echo (SE) T1-weighting and Gradient-echo (GE) STIR T2-weighting sequences in sagittal, dorsal and transverse planes, with a magnet of 0.2 Tesla.

The putative lactococcal extracytoplasmic function anti-sigma factor llmg2447 determines resistance to the cell wall-active bacteriocin lcn972.

Lactococcin 972 (Lcn972) is a cell wall-active bacteriocin that inhibits cell wall biosynthesis in Lactococcus lactis. In this work, the transcriptomes of the Lcn972-resistant (Lcn(r)) mutant L. lactis D1 and its parent strain were compared to identify factors involved in Lcn972 resistance.

Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging features of the temporomandibular joint in two normal camels.

Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) image features of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and associated structures in two mature dromedary camels were obtained with a third-generation equipment CT and a superconducting magnet RM at 1.5 Tesla. Images were acquired in sagittal and transverse planes.

Relation between the adsorbed quantity and the immersion enthalpy in catechol aqueous solutions on activated carbons.

An activated carbon, Carbochem(TM)-PS230, was modified by chemical and thermal treatment in flow of H(2), in order to evaluate the influence of the activated carbon chemical characteristics in the adsorption of the catechol. The catechol adsorption in aqueous solution was studied along with the effect of the pH solution in the adsorption process of modified activated carbons and the variation of immersion enthalpy of activated carbons in the aqueous solutions of catechol. The interaction solid-solution is characterized by adsorption isotherms analysis, at 298 K and pH 7, 9 and 11 in order to evaluate the adsorption value above and below that of the catechol pK(a).
