Comparison of Clinical Performance of I-gel and Fastrach Laryngeal Mask Airway as an Intubating Device in Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: The supraglottic airway device (SGD) was introduced as a breakthrough in airway management. The Fastrach emerged as the first commercially available intubating SGD, drawing extensive investigation. I-gel is a more recent device that has gained popularity, can be used as an intubating SGD, and replaced Fastrach in many institutions.

Feed Forward Modeling: an efficient approach for mathematical modeling of the force frequency relationship in the rabbit isolated ventricular myocyte.

. This study addresses the Force-Frequency relationship, a fundamental characteristic of cardiac muscle influenced by-adrenergic stimulation. This relationship reveals that heart rate (HR) changes at the sinoatrial node lead to alterations in ventricular cell contractility, increasing the force and decreasing relaxation time for higher beat rates.

Microbial biotransformation of N-nitro-, C-nitro-, and C-nitrous-type mutagens by Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus in meat products.

Processed meats are classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as carcinogenic to humans. However, information on the responsible agents and the influence of industrial processing on the increased risk of cancer is still lacking. This study aimed to use cultures of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp.

Interactions of preservatives in meat processing: Formation of carcinogenic compounds, analytical methods, and inhibitory agents.

Meat products are important for balanced diets because of their nutritional richness. However, noxious compounds may be formed by interactions among reactants and specific conditions in processed meats. N-nitroso compounds, heterocyclic aromatic amines, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, 1,4-dinitro-2-methyl pyrrole (DNMP), and ethyl nitrolic acid (ENA) are among the main compounds of toxicological concern.
