A low-field Nuclear Magnetic Resonance dataset of whole milk during coagulation and syneresis.

We report the relaxometric dataset obtained on renneted milk during syneresis by Time-Domain Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy (TD-NMR). Data were obtained on cow's milk provided by two different producers in two different lactation seasons (April and October) and on a group of goat's milk samples (one season, November-December, one producer). TD-NMR data refer to spin-spin relaxation times (T2) decay curves and distributions measured at 40 °C at seven time points after rennet addition, up to 70 minutes of syneresis. Curd was cut 30 min after rennet addition without removing the NMR tube from the TD-NMR instrument. The dataset here reported is related to the research article entitled "Non invasive monitoring of curd syneresis upon renneting of raw and heat-treated cow's and goat's milk" [E. Curti, A. Pardu, S. Del Vigo, R. Sanna, R. Anedda, Non-invasive monitoring of curd syneresis upon renneting of raw and heat-treated cow's and goat's milk, Int. Dairy J. 90 (2019) 95-97].

Effectiveness of an innovative mattress overlay for improving rehabilitation in low back pain: A pilot randomized controlled study.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Sleep disorders should be routinely evaluated and treated in low back pain (LBP) patients because they represent an important contributor to pain. However, no study thus far has investigated the potential benefit to LBP management of a device improving the sleep quality. Therefore, aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of an innovative mattress overlay as add-on treatment to LBP rehabilitation. METHODS: Thirty eight LBP patients were randomized to standard rehabilitation plus mattress overlay use (cases) or standard rehabilitation only (controls). The intervention duration was 2 months and the following assessments were performed before and after: pain intensity; level of perceived back disability and sleep health; spine mobility; thickness and echo intensity of the lumbar multifidus. RESULTS: Significant pre-post-intervention improvements were observed in cases for resting and movement pain, perceived back disability, sleep, fingertip-to-floor distance, multifidus thickness (∼ 6% increase) and echo intensity (∼ 13% decrease). On the contrary, all these variables remained constant between the two experimental phases in controls. CONCLUSIONS: A combination of rehabilitation and mattress overlay use seems an effective approach for improvement of pain, perceived back disability, sleep, spine mobility, and lumbar multifidus size and structure of LBP patients.

Dolor orofacial. Importancia de la localización en el diagnóstico diferencial / Orofacial pain. The importance of location in relation to differential diagnosis

Introducción: El dolor orofacial continúa siendo hoy en día un campo poco conocido para el odontólogo general. Sin embargo, es el odontólogo muchas veces, el primer especialista al que acude el paciente cuando padece dolor en la región orofacial. La complejidad anatómica del área y la variedad del dolor orofacial hacen su diagnóstico muy complicado. El objetivo de este artículo es, partiendo de las áreas donde se padece el dolor, ayudar al clínico a hacer un diagnóstico diferencial aproximado. Método: se ha realizado una búsqueda bibliográfica en PubMed y en libros de la especialidad para determinar las características de las patologías que cursan con dolor orofacial y la localización de la manifestación dolorosa. Mediante un dibujo se han delimitado áreas anatómicas donde se puede presentar el dolor en las diferentes patologías orofaciales analizadas. resultados: se ha dibujado una cara de frente y otra de perfil. Se han dividido áreas anatómicas en ellas. Además se han realizado dos esquemas relacionando área orofacial con las patologías con manifestación asociadas a ellas. conclusIones: Mediante los esquemas el odontólogo puede establecer un diagnóstico diferencial aproximado. Con este sistema se pretende minimizar el tiempo transcurrido entre la primera visita del paciente por dolor y un tratamiento paliativo o etiológico, tratándolo o haciendo una derivación adecuada (AU)

IIntroduction: Orofacial pain is still not a very well known subject for General Dentists. However, many times the Dentist is the first one to be asked when a patient suffers craniofacial pain. The complexity of the anatomical area and the varieties of orofacial pain, can make an accurate diagnosis very difficult. The aim of this article is to help the clinician to make an approximate differential diagnosis, based on the areas where the patient feels pain. Method: Bibliographic research in PubMed and speciality books to determine the characteristics of pathologies with orofacial pain and their locations. We have used a drawing to determine anatomical areas where the pain could be felt due to different orofacial pathologies. results: Two drawings of the face have been used, frontal view and lateral view with the anatomic areas divided in them. Furthermore, two diagrams (1 and 2) have also been made to associate orofacial areas and pathologies which cause pain in the area. conclusIon: Using the diagrams, the Dentist can make an approximate differential diagnosis. With this system it is possible to minimise the delay between the patients’ first appointment and patient treatment or timeous referral (AU)

Synthesis of new 3-aryl-4,5-dihydropyrazole-1-carbothioamide derivatives. An investigation on their ability to inhibit monoamine oxidase.

Some differently substituted 3-aryl-4,5-dihydropyrazoles-1-carbothioamides have been synthesised with the aim to investigate their monoamine oxidase inhibitory activity. The chemical structures of the compounds have been characterized by means of their IR, (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR spectroscopic data and elemental analyses. All the active compounds showed a selective activity towards the B isoform of the enzyme, regardless of the substitution on the heterocyclic ring. The inhibition of the enzymatic activity was measured on human recombinant MAO isoforms, expressed in baculovirus infected BTI insect cells. Docking experiments were carried out with the aim to rationalize the mechanism of inhibition of the most active and selective compound.
