Anaerobic co-digestion of dairy manufacture effluent (DME) and biological waste (BW) was investigated at various DME/BW ratios using laboratory batch digesters. The biogas yield ranged 0.34-0.88l biogas g(-1) volatile solids (VS) removed. The highest VS reductions of 58% and 62% were obtained for DM …

The identification significance of C-reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT) levels in the intensive care unit patients with combined infection and their prognostic effects of patients with sepsis was investigated. A total of 203 patients were divided into the sepsis (n=60) and the non-sepsis group (n=143). The predictive effects of CRP and PCT levels in patients in the intensive care unit on sepsis and their effects on the prognosis of patients with sepsis were analyzed. The results showed that CRP and PCT levels in patients in the sepsis were higher than those in the non-sepsis group (p0.05); CRP and PCT levels in patients surviving sepsis at 1 week after admission were significantly decreased compared with those at admission (p

Values of low density lipoprotein (LDL) and procalcitonin (PCT) levels in evaluating the condition and prognosis of patients with acute cerebral infarction (ACI) were investigated. According to the volume of cerebral infarction, 150 patients with ACI (observation group) were divided into the mild infarction group (n=50), moderate infarction group (n=50), and severe infarction group (n=50). Besides, another 50 healthy subjects were enrolled during the same period as the control group. The levels of serum LDL and PCT on admission and at the 1st, 3rd, 7th and 10th day after treatment were detected, which were compared with those in the control group. Ten days after treatment, patients were divided into two groups, the effective group and non-effective group, based on the clinical efficacy. The differences in LDL and PCT levels were compared between the two groups. After 1 month, the clinical efficacy was evaluated again, and the correlations of LDL and PCT levels with prognosis were analyzed. The levels of serum LDL and PCT in the observation group 1 day after admission were higher than those in the control group (P

Fifty consecutive patients admitted for replantation surgery received a psychiatric evaluation. In 28 percent of the patients there was evidence of preaccident psychopathology. Fifty-four percent of the patients reported a recent stressful life event predating the accident. Fifty-four percent of the …

Membrane bioreactors produce high quality effluents that could be suitable for reuse. However, when treating high strength wastewater subject to a salinity increase, a modification of biomass characteristics may occur. This circumstance is of importance, since it can have a significant impact in ter …

The Department of Health's End of Life Care Strategy provided the opportunity to develop effective care, regardless of the setting. However, providing end of life care is challenging for all healthcare practitioners, with each care setting experiencing unique challenges. Within one acute NHS trust, …

Tumoural angioneogenesis and its quantification are important in predicting the tumour grade and in the management with respect to the treatment available and to assess the response to treatment and the prognosis. It also plays major role in the growth ...

Sepsis is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity, even with the current availability of extended spectrum antibiotics and advanced medical care. Biomarkers offer a tool in facilitating early diagnosis, in identifying patient populations ...
