The use of antioxidants is known to reduce lipid oxidation. This study aimed to assess the interaction of two antioxidant mechanisms, namely, "chain-breaking" and "termination-enhancing" by combining natural antioxidants derived from "oregano" (Origanum vulgare L.) and "peperina" (Minthostachys mollis K.

Background: Foods contain lipids that are easily susceptible to oxidation, which can modify their sensory properties. Although these compounds provide characteristic flavours and odours, there are also unwanted compounds, such as volatile secondary oxidation products, representing a recurring problem for both the industry and consumers. Synthetic antioxidants are often employed to prevent this but their chronic consumption can be detrimental to human health.

Statement Of Problem: Semi-adjustable articulators use an average axis facebow with a nasion relator at a fixed distance of 22 mm or 23 mm from the orbitale anterior reference point to locate the axis orbital plane, which is a major factor in measuring the sagittal condylar inclination. Lateral cephalometric radiograph allows the measurement of the distance between the nasion and Frankfort horizontal plane, which has shown great variability among patients.

Purpose: Measure and describe individual variation of the distance between nasion and Frankfort horizontal plane, and error factor of facebow in semi-adjustable articulators, in order to assess the importance of an accurate transfer of the axis orbital plane of the patient to the articulator.

Lipids present in peanuts are susceptible to oxidation, which affects food quality and safety, for this reason shelf-life studies are carried out. The objective was to determine the relation between accelerated oxidation conditions and room temperature storage for roasted peanuts. Lipid oxidation indicators and roasted flavour volatiles were measured.

Background And Objectives: AKI in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is associated with higher morbidity and mortality. The objective of this study was to identify the kidney histopathologic characteristics of deceased patients with diagnosis of COVID-19 and evaluate the association between biopsy findings and clinical variables, including AKI severity.

Design, Setting, Participants, & Measurements: Our multicenter, observational study of deceased patients with COVID-19 in three third-level centers in Mexico City evaluated postmortem kidney biopsy by light and electron microscopy analysis in all cases.
