The consumption of cured meat products is not recommended to hypertensive consumers due to its high sodium content. This constitutes an important restriction for this industry, which is becoming more and more important due to the current trends in consumption. The partial replacement of sodium chloride by potassium chloride has been proposed as a possible strategy to reduce the sodium content of this type of products. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect brought about by partial replacement of sodium chloride with potassium chloride (up to 70%) on physicochemical and microbiological parameters of dry-cured pork loin after the curing and drying process. The results showed that it is possible to obtain low sodium dry-cured loin, up to a 50% replacement of sodium by potassium, with similar physicochemical characteristics to the commercial product with usual amounts of sodium.

Machine learning to predict periprosthetic joint infections following primary total hip arthroplasty using a national database.

Introduction: Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) following total hip arthroplasty (THA) remains a devastating complication for patients and surgeons. Given the implications of these infections and the current paucity of risk calculators utilizing machine learning (ML), this study aimed to develop an ML algorithm that could accurately identify risk factors for developing a PJI following primary THA using a national database.

Materials And Methods: A total of 51,053 patients who underwent primary THA between 2013 and 2020 were identified using the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) database.

Background: Antiseptic solutions are commonly utilized during total joint arthroplasty (TJA) to prevent and treat periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). The purpose of this study was to investigate which antiseptic solution is most effective against methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) and Escherichia coli biofilms established in vitro on orthopaedic surfaces commonly utilized in total knee arthroplasty: cobalt-chromium (CC), oxidized zirconium (OxZr), and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA).

Methods: MSSA and E.

Introduction: Sepsis is an uncontrolled systemic response to infection that leads to life-threatening organ dysfunction. The in-hospital mortality rate remains significantly high in septic shock patients with malignancies. This study investigates whether early and high-volume administration of sodium bicarbonate during continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) can reduce 28-day mortality, increase shock reversal rates, and shorten the duration of CRRT, mechanical ventilation, and intensive care unit (ICU) stays.

Background: While there are numerous benefits to tea consumption, its long-term impact on patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains unclear.

Method: Our analysis included 17,575 individuals with CKD from an initial 45,019 participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) (1999-2018). Individuals with extreme dietary habits, pregnancy, or non-CKD conditions were excluded.

Surface State Control of Apatite Nanoparticles by pH Adjusters for Highly Biocompatible Coatings.

ACS Appl Mater Interfaces

Apatite nanoparticles are biocompatible nanomaterials, so their film formation on biodevices is expected to provide effective bonding with living organisms. However, the biodevice-apatite interfaces have not yet been elucidated because there is little experimental evaluation and discussion on the nanoscale interactions, as well as the apatite surface reactivities. Our group has demonstrated the biomolecular adsorption properties on a quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D) sensor coated with apatite nanoparticles, demonstrating the applicability of apatite nanoparticle films on devices.
