Improved Physical Properties of Frozen Chicken Egg Gels with Olive Leaf Extract Fortification.

The research focused on evaluating the impact of olive leaf water extract (OEx4) on the microbiological and physical properties of egg gels, as well as its ability to protect the rheological properties of gel throughout freeze-thaw cycles. Egg gels with added OEx4 at concentrations of 0.03% and 0.

Impact of nutritional status in patients with metastatic spinal tumors who underwent palliative surgery.

Background: Preoperative nutritional status significantly affects postoperative outcomes in patients with metastatic spinal tumors. Understanding the relationship between nutritional status and survival rates can help optimize treatment strategies and improve patient outcomes.

Methods: This retrospective study was performed on 57 patients who underwent palliative surgery between May 2009 and April 2023.

Risk factors for postoperative ileus after corrective spinal surgery: association with reduction in the retrocrural space area.

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine whether a reduction in the retrocrural space (RCS) area is a risk factor for postoperative ileus (POI) in patients with adult spinal deformity (ASD) treated with spinal corrective surgery.

Methods: In total, 100 patients (mean age 67.5 ± 8.

Tumor-derived lactic acid promotes acetylation of histone H3K27 and differentiation of IL-10-producing regulatory B cells through direct and indirect signaling pathways.

Tumor cells are known to enhance glycolysis, even under normoxic conditions, via the Warburg effect, producing excess lactic acid in the tumor microenvironment. Lactic acid enhances the IL-23/IL-17 pathway and induces chronic inflammation. The acidic microenvironment formed by lactic acid suppresses immune cell proliferation and activation.
