C branched saturated fatty acids (BSFA) are used as ingredients in cosmetics and lubricants and are produced the hydrogenation of C branched unsaturated fatty acids (BUFA). Industrial-grade C BUFA contain the odorous by-product γ-stearolactone (GSL), which must be removed by acid-catalysed ring-opening of GSL into oleic acid. Zeolites such as Y and beta can facilitate the ring-opening, but due to the dimensions of GSL the activity is expected to be limited by diffusion into the micropores.

Research Design And Methods: We performed a case-control study, with SCA case subjects with T2D from the Amsterdam Resuscitation Studies (ARREST) registry of out-of-hospital resuscitation attempts in the Dutch Noord-Holland region (2010-2020) and up to five matched (age, sex, T2D, general practitioner [GP] practice) non-SCA control subjects. We collected relevant clinical measurements, medication use, and medical history from GPs' electronic health care records.
Obesity is a multifactorial disease associated with low-grade inflammation. The gut is thought to be involved in obesity-related inflammation, as it is continuously exposed to antigens from food, microbiota and metabolites. However, the exact underlying mechanisms are still unknown.

- * Out of 40 participants, 80% exhibited average intelligence levels, but notable deficits were found in immediate memory recall (30% below average) and information processing speed (24% below average).
- * Psychological assessments showed that approximately 25% experienced significant distress, with personality traits including inflexibility and social withdrawal, indicating a need for tailored care strategies for adults with PHTS.
Background: Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)-prepared nurses are expected to exercise leadership in their various roles. Therefore, European nurse scholars developed a cross-national web-based Nursing Leadership and Mentoring Educational (Nurse-Lead) program.
Purpose: To evaluate changes in leadership practices, professional and research competencies as well as career development of PhD-prepared nurses and doctoral nursing students after participation in the Nurse-Lead program.
