"Off-Label" Medicine Use In Burned Children: Three-Year Retrospective Study.

Burn patients, especially children, experience many problems during their hospitalization. Because of their unique physiologic and altered pharmacokinetic profile, children receive more off-label prescribing than adults. The aim of this study was to analyze the incidence of off-label prescribing in burned children.

Optimization of D-lactic acid production using unutilized biomass as substrates by multiple parallel fermentation.

This study investigated the optimization of D-lactic acid production from unutilized biomass, specifically banana peel and corncob by multiple parallel fermentation (MPF) with Leuconostoc mesenteroides and Aspergillus awamori. The factors involved in MPF that were assessed in this study comprised banana peel and corncob, KHPO, Tween 80, MgSO·7HO, NaCl, yeast extract, and diammonium hydrogen citrate to identify the optimal concentration for D-lactic acid production. Optimization of these component factors was performed using the Taguchi method with an L8 orthogonal array.
