The present work compares the physical-chemical, organoleptic and antioxidant characteristics of breadsticks (Bs) prepared in the traditional way (BCs) with extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), and with mace (BMs), ginger (BGs) and turmeric (BTs) flavoured olive oil (FOO). Breadsticks' water activity (a), pH, moisture content (U.R.

Monitoring the blood serum activity of L-asparaginase in children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) has been highly recommended to detect enzyme inactivation that can cause relapse and to avoid unwanted toxicity. Nevertheless, perhaps at least partially due to the lack of clinically approved commercially available kits or standardized and independently reproduced and validated in-house protocols, laboratory assay-based determination of the optimal doses of L-asparaginase is not carried out routinely. In this study, we adapted previously published protocols for two plate reader-based colorimetric methods, indooxine and Nessler, to measure asparaginase activity.

Studies previously used self-reported race as a proxy variable for skin tone. However, this approach cannot account for skin tone variability within race groups and also risks the potential to be confounded by other non-biological factors when modeling data.

The investigation of ancient artifacts is often constrained by their scarce availability and high protection and custody protocols. Among these, coinage represents an especially valuable kind-of-samples given their uniqueness and the subjacent information that is hidden behind their composition. Their analysis are often carried out using non-destructive techniques in order to avoid any alteration of the samples.

Background: Carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) is a proteolytic fragment of MUC-16 that is increased in heart failure (HF) and associated with inflammation, fluid overload, and worse adverse events. Our main objective was to study the expression of CA125 on epicardium and its association with inflammation, adipogenesis, and fibrosis.
Methods: Epicardial fat biopsies and blood were obtained from 151 non-selected patients undergoing open heart surgery.
