- - The study explored using residues from petroleum and cassava industries to sustainably produce xanthan gum (XG) via Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. manihotis 1182, resulting in a yield of 6.80 g/L.
- - Microscopic analyses showed that the recovered XG had elongated fiber-like structures and well-defined crystalline properties, indicating a higher quality compared to commercial samples.
- - The recovered XG exhibited low viscosity but high emulsification capacity, highlighted by emulsification indices over 50%, marking the first creation of a complex XG-metal structure with these characteristics.
Background: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a well-established treatment for symptomatic patients with aortic stenosis. Yet, the impact of sex differences and public vs. private procedural setting on TAVI outcomes remain uncertain.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Robust data on the learning curve (LC) of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) are lacking in developing countries.
Objective: To assess TAVR's LC in Brazil over time.
Methods: We analyzed data from the Brazilian TAVR registry from 2008 to 2023.
Objectives: This in vitro study aimed to assess the impact of incorporating calcium glycerophosphate (CaGP) and sodium fluoride (NaF) in addition to 35% hydrogen peroxide concerning the enamel mechanical and morphological properties.
Methods: Specimens of bovine enamel were chosen based on their initial surface hardness (SHi) and subsequently divided into five gel groups (n=12): 1) 35% Hydrogen Peroxide (HP) Gel; 2) HP + 0.1% NaF Gel (HP/NaF); 3) HP + 0.
