Article Synopsis
- Small bowel obstruction (SBO) is a frequent reason for acute abdominal pain in emergency settings, but a definitive diagnostic method is still unclear.
- This systematic review evaluated 21 studies with nearly 2,000 patients to determine how accurate ultrasonography is for diagnosing SBO, using comprehensive statistical analysis.
- The results indicate ultrasonography has a high sensitivity (93%) and good specificity (80%) for SBO diagnosis, suggesting it is a promising tool, though further global studies are needed to reinforce these findings.
In this study, the possible use of anthocyanins of black carrot (ABC) as a chemo-responsive dye to fabricate a colorimetric pH indicator in a cellulose-chitosan matrix was investigated in order to the monitoring of spoilage in pasteurized milk. Cellulose paper was impregnated with a chitosan solution prepared by a sol-gel method containing ABC (total anthocyanins content of 10 mg/100 mL) and characterized. The swelling and water solubility increased by incorporation of ABC into the chitosan-cellulose film.
