Abstract The role of multitrophic diversity in sustaining multiple functions simultaneously (multifunctionality) is still poorly understood in natural communities, especially in highly diverse aquatic ecosystems. Existing studies have focused on the effect of single trophic group on ecosystem function and on individual ecosystem functions, neglecting the fact that multiple trophic groups are needed to maintain ecosystem multifunctionality. Here, using a 16‐year database from tropical shallow lakes, ...

This research evaluated the effect of the hydroethanolic extract of banana inflorescence (Musa cavendishii) and sodium erythorbate on the physicochemical and sensory characteristics and lipid stability of pork burgers during 120 days of storage at −12°C. There was no significant difference in the proximate composition of the products developed. All the burgers showed a reduction in pH over 120 days, which was not affected by the antioxidant. The TBARS (substances reactive to 2-thiobarbituric acid) ...

Evaluation of the chemical characteristics and rheological behavior of pitaya (Hylocereus undatus) peel. Abstract - Introduction. Pitaya peel has been applied as a functional ingredient for food due to the presence of betacyanins. However its polysaccharides can also contribute as a tex- ture agent for food. The aim of this work was to evaluate the chemical characteristics and rheological behavior of the pitaya peel. Materials and methods. The samples were analyzed with regard to moisture and mineral ...

Pitaya peel can be used as a raw material for betalains extraction. The aim of this research was to quantify phenolic compounds, antioxidant activity and betalains on pitaya peel. Furthermore, evaluate the betalains stability against various pH conditions and exposure time of heating. The results showed that pitaya peel contains phenolic compounds and presented antioxidant activity. Moreover it showed high concentration of betalains (101.04mg equivalent to betanin. 100g-1) which were stable over ...

Hox genes encode transcription factors that are involved in pattern formation in the skeleton, and recent evidence suggests that they also play a role in the regulation of endochondral ossification. To analyze the role of Hoxc-8 in this process in more detail, we applied in vitro culture systems, using high density cultures of primary chondrocytes from neonatal mouse ribs. Cultured cells were characterized on the basis of morphology (light microscopy) and production of cartilage-specific extracellular ...

Hepatic stellate cells are intralobular connective tissue cells expressing the myofibroblast or the lipocyte phenotypes. They participate in homeostasis of the liver extracellular matrix, repair, regeneration, and fibrosis under the former phenotype, and control the retinol metabolism, storage, and release under the latter one. They are heterogeneous in terms of their tissue distribution, function, and expression of cytoskeletal proteins. We have studied the expressions of intermediate filaments ...

In this scenario, artificial intelligence (AI) has become an attractive partner, one that may complement case interpretation and may aid in various non-interpretive aspects of the work in the radiological clinic. In this review, we discuss interpretative and non-interpretative uses of AI in the clinical practice, as well as report on the barriers to AI's adoption in the clinic. We show that AI currently has a modest ...

The development of screening mammography over 30 years has remarkedly reduced breast cancer–associated mortality by 20%-30% through detection of small cancer lesions at early stages. Yet breast screening programmes may function differently in each nation depending on the incidence rate, national legislation, local health infrastructure and training opportunities including feedback on performance. Mammography has been the frontline breast cancer screening tool for several decades; however, it is ...

Bovine brucellosis, a zoonotic disease endemic to Brazil, is a serious public health problem. It is a notifiable disease that, like tuberculosis, is regulated through a national control and eradication program. The epidemiological status of bovine brucellosis must be characterized in order to direct measures aimed at controlling the disease. This study focused on analyzing the spatial and temporal distribution of bovine brucellosis in Brazil. An ecological and time series study was conducted based ...

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among females worldwide and large volumes of breast images are produced and interpreted annually. As long as radiologists interpret these images, the diagnostic accuracy will be limited by human factors and both false-positive and false-negative errors might occur. By understanding visual search in breast images, we may be able to identify causes of diagnostic errors, find ways to reduce them, and also provide a better education to radiology residents. Many ...
