The Relationships between Metabolic Disorders (Hypertension, Dyslipidemia, and Impaired Glucose Tolerance) and Computed Tomography-Based Indices of Hepatic Steatosis or Visceral Fat Accumulation in Middle-Aged Japanese Men.

PLoS ONE, 2016
BackgroundMost studies on the relationships between metabolic disorders (hypertension, dyslipidemia, and impaired glucose tolerance) and hepatic steatosis (HS) or visceral fat accumulation (VFA) have been cross-sectional, and thus, these relationships ...

Achievement of the Ideal Outcome After Pancreatectomy for Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Is Associated With Earlier Initiation and Higher Completion Rates of Adjuvant Chemotherapy and Improved Long‐Term Survival

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The Ideal Outcome is a composite quality indicator reflecting optimal postoperative course after pancreatic surgery. This study aimed to clarify the prognostic significance of achieving the Ideal Outcome and its influence on the initiation and completion of adjuvant chemotherapy.

Evaluation of models to predict the stoichiometry of volatile fatty acid profiles in rumen fluid of lactating Holstein cows [PDF]

, 2011
Volatile fatty acids (VFA), produced in the rumen by microbial fermentation, are the main energy source for ruminants. The VFA profile, particularly the nonglucogenic (acetate, Ac; butyrate, Bu) to glucogenic (propionate, Pr) VFA ratio (NGR), is ...

Longitudinal Modulation of the Gut Microbiome and Growth Performance by Phytochemicals as Antibiotic Alternatives in Swine Production

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
We conducted a longitudinal trial across nursery, growing, and finishing phases, showing that phytochemical supplementation as a potential antibiotic alternative reduced potential pathogens and promoted beneficial Lactobacillus amylovorus in the nursery phase, and enriched amino acid and carbohydrate metabolism pathways (prediction) during finishing ...

Acidogenic fermentation of pretreated food waste under psychrophilic conditions for volatile fatty acids production

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Mixed‐culture fermentation generally produces volatile fatty acids (VFAs) as a mixture of C2–C6 acids. Among operational parameters, temperature has a distinct effect on the microorganisms' metabolic activity, which can shift the composition of the metabolites.

Thermophilic anaerobic treatment and biogas generation from wastewater produced in an advanced biorefinery process

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Anaerobic digestion can be an alternative method for treating wastewater from second‐generation biorefineries while simultaneously producing biogas. However, the feasibility of the process and key operational parameters by which wastewater produced in lignocellulosic biorefineries affects reactor performance remain poorly understood.

Biogas production from Opuntia stricta Haw.: microbial diversity and solid load influence on sludge recycle systems

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract The search for alternative and sustainable energy sources becomes urgent as energy demand increases and fossil fuels become less available, especially in water‐scarce regions such as the Brazilian semi‐arid region, where current projections of global warming and the expansion of arid and semi‐arid zones point to a future of desertification ...

Supply Chain Innovations for Food Waste and Loss: Systematic Literature Review and Future Research Agenda

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Food waste and loss (FWL) remains a critical challenge across food supply chains (SCs) globally, with approximately one‐third of all food produced for human consumption discarded or lost each year. This study systematically reviews how supply chain innovation (SCI) can mitigate FWL.

Impact of visceral obesity on operative outcomes of laparoscopic nephrectomy: comparison between visceral fat area and body mass index

African Journal of Urology, 2021
Background Obesity has been considered as a risk factor influencing operative difficulty. It was reported that body mass index (BMI; kg/m2) did not always properly reflect the degree of a patient’s visceral fat.

Stripping‐based approach for the recovery of volatile fatty acids from anaerobic digestion digestate: preliminary experimental investigations and modelling

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Volatile fatty acids (VFAs) are widely used across industries: as intermediates in chemical production (e.g., solvents and polymers), in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, and as preservatives and health‐promoting additives in food and animal feed. Emerging applications also include bioplastics, bioenergy, and biotechnology.
