Cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) is a spectrum of disorders involving both the heart and the kidneys, either acutely or chronically, in one organ that can lead to dysfunction in the other.Type 1 CRS, the most common CRS, is when acute heart dysfunction impacts acute kidney dysfunction, commonly known as acute kidney injury.Comorbidities involving these t
The endocannabinoid system: directing eating behavior and macronutrient metabolism
For many years, the brain has been the primary focus for research on eating behavior.More recently, the discovery of the endogenous endocannabinoids (EC) and the endocannabinoid system (ECS), as well as the characterization of its actions on appetite and metabolism, has provided greater insight on the brain and food intake.The purpose of this revie
Novel Chiral Bis-Phosphoramides as Organocatalysts for Tetrachlorosilane-Mediated Reactions
The formation of novel chiral bidentate phosphoroamides structures able to promote Lewis base-catalyzed Lewis acid-mediated reactions was investigated.Two different classes of phosphoroamides were synthetized: the first class presents a phthalic acid/primary diamine moiety, designed with the aim to perform a self-assembly recognition process throug
Fermented beverage based on water-soluble soybean extract
Functional foods are Prayer Pillow those that, beyond basic nutrition, promote health benefits.This study aimed to produce a fermented beverage from a water-soluble soybean extract and low-lactose semi-skimmed milk.The beverage was prepared using a blend (v/v) containing 62% water-soluble soybean extract, 33% low-lactose semi-skimmed milk, and 5% o
Experimental and numerical investigation of flat plate fins and inline strip fins heat sinks
The flow and heat transfer characteristics of two analogous Pastry Cutters heat sinks were obtained from laboratory experiments and compared to each other and to numerical simulations.One contained continuous straight fins, and the other inline strip fins, both cooled by forced airflow parallel to their base.The average airflow velocity in the inte
