Wheat Bread Supplemented with Egg Albumin: Structural Features, and In Vitro Starch and Protein Digestibility.

This study aimed to explore the effects of egg albumin protein addition (5, 15 and 20 g/100 g db) on the textural characteristics, as well as in the in vitro digestibility of protein and starch of wheat bread. Egg albumin addition resulted in smoother bread loaves as compared to traditional wheat bread. Reduced hardness and increased cohesiveness were correlated to the protein secondary structure, mainly with the content of β-sheets.

The history of ankylosing spondylitis/axial spondyloarthritis - what is the driving force of new knowledge?

The history of (axial) spondyloarthritis has started several centuries ago. Since the end of the 19th century major achievements have been made. This historical review tries to show how closely the advances in clinical medicine in rheumatology have been related to advances made in basic sciences.

Bifunctional NiCo-CuO Nanostructures: A Promising Catalyst for Energy Conversion and Storage.

This investigation explores the potential of co-incorporating nickel (Ni) and cobalt (Co) into copper oxide (CuO) nanostructures for bifunctional electrochemical charge storage and oxygen evolution reactions (OER). A facile wet chemical synthesis method is employed to co-incorporate Ni and Co into CuO, yielding diverse nanostructured morphologies, including rods, spheres, and flake. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman analyses confirmed the formation of NiCo-CuO nanostructure, with minor phases of nickel oxide (NiO) and cobalt tetraoxide (CoO).

Long Head of Biceps Tenodesis for Maintaining Inherent Length and Uniform Tension at the Bicipital Groove: Suprapectoral Double-Row Technique With All-Suture Anchors.

The clinicopathologic conditions of the long head of the biceps tendon vary, encompassing tendinitis, peritendinous inflammation, hypertrophy, and partial or complete tears. These symptoms are typically linked with SLAP tears and instability of the long head of the biceps tendon, often resulting in partial displacement or complete dislocation. The choice between tenotomy and tenodesis depends on varied factors.
