Chitosan from African giant snail (Achatina fulica) shells derived through autoclave- (SSC_A) or ultrasound-assisted (SSC_U) deacetylation was characterised and evaluated for quality and shelf life of tomatoes and cucumbers over 10 days of ambient (26 ± 2°C) and refrigerated (4 ± 2°C) storage. A...

The large amounts of chitin in crab shells can be extracted for use in food and biomedical industries. But the traditional chemical-based chitin extraction uses large amounts of acid and alkali, which are environmentally harmful. The current study explored lactic acid bacteria (Lacticaseibacillus...

The size of the kidneys and the presence of localised abnormalities in the urine collecting system or renal parenchyma can be assessed using renal ultrasound, which is a useful adjunct to the diagnosis of certain renal diseases in ruminants. Dilatation of the urine collecting system (renal pelvis,...

Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction (UAE) has attracted much attention in recent years due to its rapid extraction capability, high extraction efficiency, and being an environmentally friendly and low-cost methodology. This review gives a general overview of UAE and specifically its recent applications...

A 1.5-year-old, female, entire German shepherd dog was presented for evaluation of an abdominal mass. The dog had a 4-month history of polydipsia, polyuria, diarrhoea, and weight loss despite polyphagia. Abdominal ultrasound confirmed a large abdominal mass suspected to be uterine in origin. An...

A 3.25-kg, 1-year-old, European shorthair cat was referred for acute respiratory distress. A thoracic computed tomography revealed the presence of multiple pulmonary abscesses, and a median sternotomy for pulmonary lobectomy was scheduled. The cat was premedicated with methadone and...

Micellar casein(MC) was chosen as a matrix and proanthocyanidin(PCs) was chosen as a ligand to prepare the PCs-MC complex. The structure of the complex was characterized by UV-Vis, fluorescence, and Fourier transform infrared(FT-IR) spectroscopy. The effects of MC on the stability of PCs under...

Despite advances in microsurgery, full functional recovery of severe peripheral nerve injuries is not commonly attained. The sheep appears as a good preclinical model since it presents nerves with similar characteristics to humans. In this study, we induced 5 or 7 cm resection in the peroneal nerve ...

Nanoemulsions are a promising approach for the targeted delivery and precise release of bioactive ingredients in food or pharmaceuticals. Nevertheless, there are some limitations for certain applications because they are susceptible to break down through physical instability mechanisms. In this...
