TL;DR: In this article, the effects of various pre-clarification treatments utilizing gelatin, bentonite and polyvinyl polypyrrolidone (PVPP) on UF performance were evaluated comparatively through analysis of flux behavior and membrane fouling.

TL;DR: HBO may be a useful adjuvant therapy modality to improve the efficacy of sepsis treatment and help reverse histopathological changes in septic rats.
Abstract: Objective
The liver is thought to be responsible for multiple organ failure during sepsis. Increase in tissue oxygen consumption is a major component of the septic response. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy provides more oxygenation in the whole body. This study examined the effect of HBO alone or in combination with cefepime (CEF) on the liver in septic rats.

TL;DR: Higher leptin levels in MM and CLL patients, and higher resistin levels in lymphoma patients are found: this fact demonstrates that changes in adipose tissue and metabolism occur in these disease states.
Abstract: AIM To evaluate leptin and resistin levels in patients with various hematologic malignancies. METHODS We included 21 patients with lymphoma, 14 with multiple myeloma (MM), 14 with acute leukemia, 13 with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), and 25 healthy control subjects into our study. The subjects' body mass indexes (BMI) were calculated; hematological and acute phase response parameters, serum lipid were determined; serum leptin and resistin levels were determined by ELISA. RESULTS Serum leptin level was significantly increased in CLL and MM groups when compared to the control group (p less, similar 0.01). Resistin level was significantly higher in lymphoma patients than in CLL, acute leukemia and control groups (p less, similar 0.01). In the control group, leptin level was negatively correlated with hemoglobin level (r = -0.44, p = 0.047); and in all patients with hematologic malignancies, leptin level was correlated with BMI (r = 0.32, p = 0.02). Leptin in lymphoma subjects correlated with hemoglobin level (r = 0.64, p = 0.005), resistin level correlated with the platelet count in patients with hematologic malignancies (r = 0.26, p = 0.044). In addition, leptin level had negative correlations with international prognostic score (IPS) in Hodgkin lymphoma (r = -0.9, p = 0.002) and with international prognostic index (IPI) in non-Hodgkin lymphoma (r = -0.77, p = 0.03). In CLL patients, leptin level had a correlation with the poor prognostic marker - CD38 level (r = 0.68, p = 0.03). CONCLUSION We found higher leptin levels in MM and CLL patients, and higher resistin levels in lymphoma patients: this fact demonstrates that changes in adipose tissue and metabolism occur in these disease states.

TL;DR: The study revealed that patients with cerebral palsy had disabilities in spoon feeding, biting, chewing, cup drinking, straw drinking, swallowing and clearing.
Abstract: Patients with cerebral palsy (CP) frequently manifest oral-ingestive problems ranging from mild to severe. Drooling, rejection of solid foods, choking, coughing and spillage during eating may contribute to these problems. The aim of this study was to assess functional feeding skills of patients with CP, aged 4-25 years. They were assessed with the Modified Functional Feeding Assessment Scale (FFAm). Mothers had expressed concern regarding drooling and reluctance in accepting solid foods. None of the mothers thought that there was a major problem with adequate ingestion. However, the study revealed that patients had disabilities in spoon feeding, biting, chewing, cup drinking, straw drinking, swallowing and clearing.

TL;DR: It is advised that patients with ovarian carcinosarcomas should be treated by optimal cytoreduction followed by adjuvant platinum/taxan or platinum/ifosfamide combinations, and stage, optimal debulking and type of adjUvant therapy were statistically significant prognostic predictors of ovarian corpsecomas.
