Aroma Profile Development in Beer Fermented with Azacca, Idaho-7, and Sultana Hops.

Hops are among the most costly and environmentally impactful raw materials used in brewing, yet they play a crucial role in the aroma of beer. However, predicting beer aroma based on hop variety or hopping method remains arduous. This is partly because hop oils are unique for each hop variety, and they may be biotransformed by yeast enzymes during fermentation.

Drug-eluting introducer sheath prevents local peripheral complications: pre-clinical evaluation of nitric oxide-coated sheath.

Objectives: This study evaluated the protective effect of nitric oxide-coating of introducer sheath on the local complications in juvenile porcine femoral arteries with similar size to human radial arteries.

Background: Insertion of an introducer sheath induces vasospasm and transient or permanent vessel occlusion of radial arteries.

Methods: Nitric oxide-coated or control introducer sheaths with or without spasmolytic cocktail (control + C-sheath) were inserted into porcine femoral arteries, followed by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha release after intracoronary versus intramyocardial stem cell therapy in myocardial infarction.

We have investigated the effect of stem cell delivery on the release of hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1alpha) in peripheral circulation and myocardium in experimental myocardial ischemia. Closed-chest, reperfused myocardial infarction (MI) was created in domestic pigs. Porcine mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were cultured and delivered (9.

Tracking the migration of cardially delivered therapeutic stem cells in vivo: state of the art.

Cell-based therapy is a promising, novel therapeutic strategy for cardiovascular disease. The rapid transition of this approach from the benchside to clinical trials has left a gap in the understanding of the mechanisms of cell therapy. Monitoring of cell homing and the fate of cardially delivered stem cells is fundamental for clarification of the myocardial regenerative process.
