Phenolic compounds have antiglycation activity, but the changes occurring during thermal treatment (TT) in these activities are not completely understood. The effects of the extraction conditions of (poly)phenols from fruits, before and after TT, on their antioxidant and antiglycation effects were assessed. (Poly)phenol-enriched extracts (PEEs) from raw and TT (90 °C, 1 h) were extracted using three solvent mixtures (ethanol/water/acetic acid) with increasing water content (0, 24, and 49%) and three solvent-to-solid ratios (5, 10, and 20 mL/g).

Objectives: The main objective of this study was to evaluate whether the implementation of CoBaTrICE (Competency-Based Training in Intensive Care Medicine in Europe) provides higher levels of competency in comparison with the current official time-based program in Intensive Care Medicine in Spain. Secondary objectives were: 1) To determine the percentage of critical essential performance elements (CEPE) accomplished, 2) To determine compliance with workplace-based assessments (wba).

Design: Multicenter cluster randomized trial.

Since 1968, the United States Transuranium and Uranium Registries (USTUR) has studied the biokinetics and tissue dosimetry of uranium and transuranium elements in nuclear workers. As part of the USTUR collaboration with the Million Person Study (MPS) of Low-Dose Health Effects, radiation dose to different parts of the human heart is being estimated for workers with documented intakes of 239Pu or 226Ra. The study may be expanded for workers with intakes of 238U and other radionuclides.
