Amiodarone lung: under recognised but not forgotten.

Amiodarone is a common medication used widely in clinical practice. It is a triiodinated antiarrhythmic associated with a variety of adverse effects both pulmonary and extrapulmonary, the most serious being amiodarone-induced pulmonary toxicity (AIPT) or amiodarone lung. This can present with a variety of clinical syndromes ranging from subacute symptoms to an indolent and a progressive course thus mimicking an alternative diagnosis.

In Vitro Evaluation of Enriched Brewers' Spent Grains Using Bacillus subtilis WX-17 as Potential Functional Food Ingredients.

Brewers' spent grains (BSGs) are nutritious food processing by-products generated in the brewing industry. In this study, in vitro digestion-fermentation was employed to examine fermented BSG using Bacillus subtilis WX-17 as functional food ingredients. Insoluble fibers in BSG were converted into soluble fibers after fermentation, giving an increase from 6.

Technology innovations for food security in Singapore: A case study of future food systems for an increasingly natural resource-scarce world.

Background: Food security is becoming an increasingly important global issue. Anthropogenic factors such as rapid urbanization and industrialization have strained finite resources like land and water. Therefore, against the impending threat of food security, the world can no longer rely on traditional methods to meet its needs.

Effects of submerged liquid fermentation of WX-17 using okara as sole nutrient source on the composition of a potential probiotic beverage.

This work aims to produce a functional probiotic beverage using okara as the sole nutrient source. Hence, okara was fermented with WX-17 in submerged liquid fermentation and the supernatant was tested. Metabolomic analysis showed that the nutritional profile of the beverage was enhanced after fermentation.

Potential novel nutritional beverage using submerged fermentation with WX-17 on brewers' spent grains.

Food processing generates side streams that are not fully utilized and typically treated as waste materials. One of such food by-product, brewers' spent grains (BSG) are disposed in huge quantities from the beer industry annually. Submerged fermentation of BSG using WX-17, without supplementary components, is herein employed.

A metabolomic approach to understand the solid-state fermentation of okara using Bacillus subtilis WX-17 for enhanced nutritional profile.

Okara is a major agro-waste produced from the soybean industry. To hydrolyze the okara and enable nutrient release, a strategy to valorize okara using solid-state fermentation with food grade Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis) WX-17 was carried out.
