Development of patty meat analogue using anchovy protein isolate () as a binding agent.

The development of meat analogues focuses on sustainable production and requires attention to their nutritional, physicochemical, and sensory values. Anchovy protein isolate (API) is a novel and potential binding agent in the development of meat analogues. This study aimed to produce API and evaluate the physical, proximate, and sensory qualities of patty meat analogue (PMA) with the addition of API.

Prediction of human-Streptococcus pneumoniae protein-protein interactions using logistic regression.

Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major cause of mortality in children under five years old. In recent years, the emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains of S. pneumoniae increases the threat level of this pathogen.

[Treatment of acute renal failure in Germany: Analysis of current practice].

Background And Objectives: There are currently no reliable data on the differential use of renal replacement therapy (RRT) options for critically ill patients with acute renal failure in Germany.

Patients And Methods: A questionnaire-based survey was delivered to 2265 German intensive care units. The questionnaire contained 19 questions regarding RRT.

[Treatment of acute renal failure in Germany: a structural analysis].

Introduction: There are no reliable data on the structure and practice of the care of critically ill patients with acute renal failure in Germany.

Methods: We carried out a detailed survey by sending a questionnaire to 2265 German Intensive Care Units. The questionnaire contained 19 questions regarding renal replacement therapy.

[Effectiveness of a hospital-wide educational programme for infection control to reduce the rate of health-care associated infections and related sepsis (ALERTS)--methods and interim results].

Background And Aim: Health care associated infections (HAIs) are one of the most frequent complications of hospital care, associated with increased morbidity, mortality and considerable extra costs for the health care system. The overarching objective of the ALERTS study is to demonstrate the feasibility of a hospitalwide programme to reduce the burden of HAIs and related sepsis of at least 20 %.

Methods: Prospective, quasi-experimental study covering all acute care units (27 general wards, 4 ICUs, overall 809 beds) at Jena University Hospital.
