Whey protein concentrate, gum Arabic, and xanthan gum stabilized layer by layer chia oil emulsion was developed using an electrostatic deposition. Single-layer and multilayer emulsion of chia oil was developed and their stability is compared.

Product responses were fitted on to mathematical model using second-order polynomial equations. Multiple regression analysis of data revealed the high statistical significance of respective mathematical models.

Regional anesthesia/analgesia (RA) can facilitate enhanced postoperative recovery and improve patient satisfaction by providing excellent postoperative analgesia. However, its consideration in surgeries with a high risk of developing CS remains controversial and contentious.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAcetabular fractures are uncommon types of pelvic fractures associated with restricted mobility due to severe pain. The high analgesic demands can be fulfilled by using multimodal analgesia incorporating regional analgesia. The choice of regional analgesia technique depends on the type of acetabular fracture and innervation of the affected components.

They are associated with significant postoperative pain despite the use of systemic analgesics. The regional analgesia (RA) technique has been proven beneficial for better patient outcomes when used as an adjunct to multimodal analgesia in the early postoperative period.

Cellular damage arising from reactive oxygen and nitrogen species is said to cause neurodegenerative disorders. Antioxidants could assuage this oxidative damage of tissue directly and/or indirectly by enhancing natural defenses and also scavenging the free radicals.
